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.
Android Pay is now available in Singapore and it is the first country outside of US and UK to have Android Pay! It is the first Asian country to have Android Pay as well.
Android Pay works with VISA and MasterCard issued by the following banks in Singapore: DBS, OCBC, POSB, Standard Chartered and UOB.
Bought the Aeon Labs Aeotec Z-Wave Smart Switch 6 (Gen5) from Automate Asia for S$110. The product is pretty new and it is not listed on their website yet.
After getting my hands on the Fibaro Starter Kit which includes a wall plug, I got kinda addicted to monitor my energy usage of my always-on switches like the television switch, Internet switch and computer switch.
OnePlus 3 will be available in Singapore from 4th July 2016. It will be available exclusively online on Lazada Singapore from 4th July till 30th July 2016. The exclusive price is to be confirmed (TBC).
For retail stores and telcos, it will be available from 30th July 2016 at a recommended retail price (RRP) of S$699.
I think I came across Automate Asia in the local news. So when I needed to make my house “smarter”, I decided to engage their services.
Note that this is not a sponsored post, I paid for their services. Just wanted to do a shout out to Mike and the team at Automate Asia for the awesome service with the answers to my noob questions.
Thanks to Sudio, I will be giving out one Sudio Vasa Bla worth S$165 to one lucky winner. He/she will be getting his/her preferred color of the Sudio Vasa Bla.
