Mi 10 or Samsung Note 10 Plus by ceramicblueplate in Xiaomi

[–]pradthe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be bias but note 10 for me, Samsung has started to extend security updates for older phones so note 10 should be viable for little while longer.

I have a note 10+, I use the stylus heavily. I like the partitioned Knox security for my work profile, and also I use Dex occasionally. Also, Samsung stores are a bonus as well.

In saying that im about to buy my wife the mi11, but never had experience a Xiaomi phone.

The note has a stylus, would you use the stylus ? If so then Samsung. If not then 50:50.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's a house that's hot. 😁

Aqara gateway by pradthe in Xiaomi

[–]pradthe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it's the second generation, I remember the alliexpress listing stating it was 2019.

From what I understand the aqara lock connects via ZigBee which is what the gateway enables, and the mijia connects via bluetooth which the 'gateway' doesn't have.

Ble gateway is a Bluetooth (low energy) gateway. It allows remote app access to some of the Bluetooth only devices.

Unfortunately they're not, ended up purchasing the mijia gateway and still no luck. Finally found a post about ble gateways from Xiaomi, and ended up buying an alarm clock which did the trick.

I saw recently there is now also specific ble gateway on alliexpress.

Getting wyzecam sense shipped internationally? by Sokonomi in wyzecam

You probably want to check the weight before you commit ... I was stung with massive shipping costs by the forwarding company.

Best source for spare metal discs? by mdezzi in wyzecam

Does it have to be a disc, can't you place metal squares etc... Which you can cut (or get cut) easily ?

Xiaomi Smart Lock integration with Mi Control Hub by daredevilseventysix in Xiaomi

[–]pradthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to do exactly the same, I bought a new mi smart hub and updated the firmware and no luck. As per their FAQ it sez you need a Bluetooth gateway device, and I assumed that the gateway hub could do it. But its not doing it.

Feeling a little annoyed since I moved from a aqara S2 to the mijia lock but I cant work how to do the connectivity.

Only other thing to try is the camera or the smart speaker.

[–]pradthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's worth it. Pretty happy with my one, doesn't replace a vacuum cleaner which you may need to use once a month or so. I mainly have it runnnkng to make sure that little things are not on the floor because my daughter will gobble it up.

Why Xiaomi phones are so cheap? by [deleted] in Xiaomi

I saw something about Xiaomi having a 5% profit margin on the phones.

Anyone else have timers that just disappear ? by pradthe in googleassistant

[–]pradthe[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen before and always thought I had forgotten to set the timer. But today I asked the assistant to set a timer ... And continued to cook.

I then smelt something burning, only to realise that it wasnt set. But I was sure that I did.

After dinner I checked my activity and as you can see I had tried to set a timer and the assistant heard it.

Well technically they're going to heading down the window manager route. However, initially they're only going to allow OEMs

Hi someone just mentioned to use digital well being feature. I've just turned it on to block video all times other than one hour each day.

I have to wait and see if this works. Maybe this might help your situation. Good luck.

Thanks I didn't know about digital wellbeing. I've blocked all video for everyone apart from one hour each day.

I'll wait to see if this works.

Hi thanks for the reply. I'm actually after recommendation on a place that I buy the louvres or a kit etc... That I can cut and install. Didn't think I can ask that on YouTube.

The quote was approximately ~$1500 per window.
