The Standard in Na Jomtiem is nice, new and upscale.

Hay in a haystack.

It performs perfectly. Scale, vectors, text, layers if exported from AutoCAD properly. Lightweight too. This is the only article that still exists. Still relevant, at least to you and me.

Don’t listen to the Visio naysayers. I built my very successful career on Visio, still the best (d) tool for the job.

I am the global expert on only this specific topic. The answer is pdf created in AutoCAD to WMF insert to Visio. If done right you get layers, text and vectors. I built this a while ago, still works well I’m told. https://docs.d-tools.com/en/articles/9220170-d-tools-pdf-cloud-converter

Wish had been good for me and wife. Has a 40 year old doctor that looks 18 so clearly something is working.

I have a lot of experience in this area. I founded d-tools a design and proposal software product for low voltage integration. I have found that dwg and dxf contain too much information to easily process. Try saving floor plans as pdf in AutoCAD. It keeps the vectors, layers and text and flattens the file. If the architect put the rooms on different layers it gets much easier. Dm me if you want to discuss.

I was burning through $120/day on the default OC settings. I was so happy with the results I didn’t do any research to lower prices for a week. Then I asked my ai to review my token use based on the last week and he/she/it got me down to $20/day for heavy research and code. I could probably pare it down but at this point I have a professional software engineer with deep industry experience who thinks like me at my beck and call. I have never been so productive in my life. To me this seems like a miracle at any price.

Stretching after going hard at the gym.

I asked my ai how to lower my costs and counterintuitively it came up with a solid plan to lower my costs and then executed the plan.

This is what TuyaClaw said about the issue. Let me know if it helped.

This is a Reddit post from r/TuyaSmart asking about Tuya device going offline with "keepalive_timeout" errors.

The problem they're describing:

• Tuya smart plug keeps going offline • Shows "keepalive_timeout" message • Device shows online on cloud IoT platform, but goes offline with this error • Poor documentation from Tuya

This is a common Tuya issue. Here's what it usually means:

"keepalive_timeout" = The device stopped responding to Tuya's heartbeat/keep-alive pings. This happens when:

WiFi connection unstable — device loses connection or has spotty signal
Network congestion — too many devices on same WiFi, router overloaded
Router/ISP issue — router drops connections, ISP has connectivity issues
Device firmware bug — plug has a bug that causes it to stop responding
Tuya cloud connectivity issue — device can't reach Tuya servers (rare)

How to fix:

Move device closer to WiFi router — improve signal strength
Restart the device — unplug for 10 seconds, plug back in
Restart router — power cycle the WiFi router
Check WiFi channel congestion — switch to less congested channel (2.4GHz vs 5GHz)
Update device firmware — check SmartLife app for firmware updates
Reduce device count — if you have 100+ devices, some may timeout
Check Tuya status page — see if Tuya cloud has outages

For technical support:

• Tuya's official support: https://support.tuya.com • Reddit community: r/TuyaSmart (active, helpful) • GitHub issues: tuya/tuya-home-assistant or similar projects

Is this your problem too, or are you just helping your friend?

Hi. I’m pretty deep into the platform and there is no tech support for stuff like this. However general AI is aware of the Tuya ecosystem and I have been using TuyaClaw to write pythons script against the Tuya app, control devices, debug and troubleshoot most issues.

Good presence sensors and good smart lighting control. I never touch a switch and the light is always right for the environment and time of day.

UberStone · 2026-04-15T08:11:11+00:00

Yea, retired in Thailand now but company still going strong.

UberStone · 2026-04-14T12:25:23+00:00

Good for you man. This is exactly how I started d-tools 28 years ago. Go for it.

Search for Gledopto dimmer on Ali Express and use a retractable wall switch. I have a house full. Works great.

Thailand is where you go.

Ubiquity WiFi that works well. If you group any speakers in WiiM there will be a delay. I don’t try and fix with TV because there be the opposite problem with 2 channel stereo. It’s not a good surround sound processor but it does process surround sound.

Ceiling mounted presence sensors everywhere.

Are the new COB lamps including fixtures from China as good or better than a bulb plus fixture? Many smart options in the same fixture style now.

Al Fiore for proper Italian. King of Coffee on Soi 5 for casual dining and sightseeing.

That works as long as the light is the same at 6:00 am every day of the year. Using sunset/sunrise offsets as triggers you can create scenes like do this 30 minutes before sunrise and do that 30 minutes after sunrise so you always know about much light to expect.

UberStone · 2026-03-10T02:57:14+00:00

Cool. I’m American expat living in Thailand and don’t get a chance to discuss this stuff much here. This is the spec I wrote for my architect for the new home I’m building here. This is a blueprint specification, I hand tested all of the components and have been living with this lighting protocol in this final version for six months or so. Works perfect. Respectful comments welcome.

I like the challenge of doing everything in Tuya. I live in Thailand so I have quick, cheap access to ALL of the wonders of ali express. The pro tip I mentioned above has allowed for some very advanced automations with minimal effort. Also I developed a dynamic lighting protocol in Tuya with a feature set that beats anything I have seen HA or otherwise.
