The Popp Z-Wave KFOB Remote Control which is retailing for £32.50 (S$58) on Vesternet was wrongly shipped to me.

They were supposed to ship to me the Aeon Labs Aeotec Z-Wave Key Fob Remote and not this.

Bought the TKB Z-Wave Wall Plug Switch/Meter from Vesternet for £26.24 (S$47).

The listed price is £29.17 (S$52) but they do offer bulk discount if you buy either 4 or 8 units. In my case, I bought 5 of it and hence the price of £26.24 (S$47) each.

I bought the Aeon Labs Key Fob Remote for £38.33 (S$69) (excluding shipping) together with the Aeon Labs Aeotec Minimote from Vesternet.

You can get it locally as well from Automate Asia for S$90.

Bought the Aeon Labs Aeotec Minimote from Vesternet for £35 (S$63), excluding shipping.

You can get it locally as well from Automate Asia for S$80.

I am using the Ariston Andris Lux 15L storage water heater which I bought from Sim Siang Choon (IMM) for S$280.

Li Xiang and I are typical working adults. We leave the house at 9am, and return only after 9pm. Sometimes we will forget to switch off the storage water heater and there goes a few dollars to the electricity bill.

Bought the Aeon Labs Aeotec Home Energy Meter from Automate Asia for S$140.

The Home Energy Meter allows you to measure your whole house electrical usage by placing the clamp in your circuit breaker.

Announcing the winner of the Sudio Vasa Bla which I held back on 15th June 2016.

As almost all the entries are pretty good, I can’t really pick the best one that stands out and hence I decided to pick the winner at random using SELECT comment_author FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_post_ID = 3469 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1; as shown in the screenshot below.

Together with the Aeon Labs Aeotec Z-Wave Smart Switch 6 (Gen5), I also bought the Aeon Labs Aeotec Z-Wave MultiSensor 6 from Automate Asia for S$110.

The MultiSensor 6 can be powered by both USB (Micro USB) or by 2x CR123A batteries. The batteries are not included in the packaging. Based on the specifications, the batteries are able to last you about 2 years.
