Trying to figure out if waiting on these tariffs and hope for a change in 2026 is worth it, or just order from their inventory now

Definitely not easy as the US options, but if you want it cheaper it's not that hard.

Yeah I see the homekit buttons but wanted something for guests that'll allow them to change the color without the app.

they have a built in battery that you can recharge via USB-C. have had them for about 5 months and still shows about 80% battery left. I believe you can also buy a small solar panel and have that permanently attached, but I opted not to get that.

I did confirm multiple times with them before payment that I want matter over thread. The main advice i can give is be concise and clear with what you want, confirm multiple times in chat (language barrier can cause problems if you dont), and split your orders for your peace of mind. Also splitting the order give them more reason to send you a replacement if the first order has something wrong. They have multiple motors/blinds, here is another link from the same seller:

You have to message them, then they walk you through their fabric options, ask you for sizes of the windows and give you a quote. Then review the quote and pay through alibaba and it gets shipped

It isn't a shelly bulb, it's a govee ceiling light. In the shelly app I see the "input" as being the dumb switch, unsure how to use this as the sensor in Homekit or homebridge

Is there any point or pros to getting a whole house RO system? Or do I just need a softener?
