Aqara Camera E1 is the latest security camera from Aqara that was launched early this month. It retails for S$99, and you can get it from Souky’s Shopee Store.
Aqara Camera E1 is essentially a strip-down version of the Aqara Camera Hub G3 and hence it is about S$100 cheaper. Aqara Camera Hub G3 retails for S$197.90.
Bought the Aqara Motion Sensor P1 on 11/11, after all the discount vouchers, and paid S$26 for it. Normally, it retails for S$36 on Souky’s Lazada Shop.
Aqara Motion Sensor P1 is a battery-powered motion sensor using two CR2450 batteries. It has a 5-years battery life on paper, but I am skeptical about it. If the battery could last me for more than a year, it is good enough for me.
Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter retails for S$45 in Singapore, but you can get it for $36 on Lazada’s Apple Flagship Store.
However, I got mine from Singtel Online Shop where the retail price is S$45. But I have a S$15 voucher as I bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max from them. So, I ended up paying S$30.
The Aqara Wireless Remote Switch H1 is a 2-gang wireless Zigbee switch that is battery-powered (CR2450). Aqara only has this in 2-gang.
Essentially, it is the wireless version of the Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU.
Starling Home Hub allows you to connect Google Nest devices to HomeKit. I am looking to display all my Nest Cam devices in HomeKit specifically.
Currently, I am doing it with Homebridge and homebridge-google-nest-sdm plugin. I paid US$5, so this plugin can use the Google Smart Device Management (SDM) API.
There are two variants of the Ulti Flex Monitor Arms, the Ulti Flex Single Monitor Arm which retails for S$79.90 and the Ulti Flex Dual Monitor Arm which retails for S$119.90.
Ulti Flex Monitor Arms supports -40° to +40° tilt, 180° swivel, and 360° rotation. Each arm can support up to 9 kg; hence, it will fit most 17″ to 32″ computer monitors. For VESA mounting, it supports both 75 x 75mm and 100 x 100mm.
Aqara Water Leak Sensor is an IP67 dustproof and waterproof sensor that can detect when an area comes into contact with water and then trigger some home automation.
My use case is not to trigger some automation but to let me know when the drainage system under my sink is overflowing with soap lather. Often, this is due to using too much soap when washing the dishes.
I bought the Aqara Wireless Mini Switch from Souky’s Shopee Store for S$27.90. If you prefer to shop on Lazada, you can get it from Souky’s Lazada Store as well. I use both platforms depending on which one has better promotions.
Aqara Wireless Mini Switch is a no-frills button with three trigger inputs: Single Press, Double Press, and Long Press.
Mikit MT80 is a 80% layout white mechnical keyboard retailing for S$180.
You will get additional Mac keycaps and different color Mikit logos that you can change on the left and right of the keyboard.
I have been using Ariston water storage heaters since I was young. After having my own house, I continued using Ariston as I was familiar with the brand.
For my first house, I bought the Ariston Andris Lux. It was a “dumb” water storage heater, so I have to wire up the switch to be smart, so I can control it remotely.
