Abroad, carpentry is super duper expensive. And hence the demand for Ikea which is easy and lightweight to assemble on own. But India, solid wood, great carpenters are just an urban clap away! Having used Ikea products, they are okok for the design. But definitely overpriced for the quality.

Yup searching good quality clamp meters for the testing purpose :) Sorry if OT: Are these good and reliable?

It does seem true. And I am wondering what would be the trickle charge on old inverters with old batteries 150Ah x 2! I am using 1500vA sine-wave inverter with 2 x 150aH tubular battery (more than 4yrs old). Shall use a power meter to measure it then. If 80w/hr is avg trickle watts, for such...

Would recommend Havells, or Polycab (checkout their reversible Bldc models) any day over atomberg. Even Non'bldc fans is really good option depending on model to model. Pointers to buy good fan 1. Service 2. Installation ease 3. Repairable (which bldc is not really) 4. Airflow 5. Noise 6. Purity...

Check with official racold customer service. Diagnosis of problem is important. Also check with urban company or some electrician. Shouldn't be more than 500-1000 rupees for right repair. Not recommended to spend 10000 on a new geyser :) 35L is quite alot.

Yes touch switches/smart switches are hard wired to your lighting and devices. Actually they are just like normal switches having a relay which switches the light on off with a wired connection Only when you use your phone to control the light, it uses your Wifi 2.4Ghz if your phone is also on...

Directly connecting the Smart light driver/light fixture or Smart fan controller/fan to a phone is not recommended at all. I've personally tried testing all BT lights directly to phone, it shall keep disconnecting. Two options: 1. Touch switch plates. 2. Some BT Hub 1. Touch switch plates. Are...

Layouts like this shall really help

Can draw a simple layman drawing from Mcb box to switches, mentioning the equipment and connections? It will really help :)

Seems really nice this is what i was looking for. But this seems only the backend. Where's the switch (front end) or will it work with Indian bell-push switches? How to operate lights on-off dimming if wifi drops? I shall contact them Ill drop them an email for reselling puposes. Companies...

Do let know in this thread, what's their response to your query. I do have all contact numbers of Osum squad (that's what they call their technicians), and Sales team, India regional-head, but I don't have the right questions to ask :)

As per this I can recommend OSUM for non-programming option. Osum gives you the possibility of using conventional switches, physical automation swtiches, scene controllers and many more things in the same normal electrical box. Hence it's alot like retro-fit of wired automation. Just 2 wires run...

Hello, bumping this thread as i dint know where else to post. Have been using Leccy Genisis, since few years as a Sonoff alternative as I have very low skill and time when it comes to flashing things. Few lights in 1 room on dimming. These are triac dimmable lighting. Works well. Smartlife also...

Hello :) I was in same dilemma when i wanted to automate my lighting and fans showroom: 250+ light points, 30+ fan points, aircon, security, and alot more. Ps: My knowledge of open-source automation, proxmox, and many apps which people use, is very very LOW :( plus since it's a showroom, i...

Got the stuff :) Wow i think the quality of products from Pg website directly seems much superior than what i used to buy from amazzon! {Razor blades made in poland, gel made in Australia. All original stuff} Thanks @lockhrt999 for the deal.
