I've wanted to illuminate my kick plates for a long time, starting with my master bathroom, and rolling out to my secondary and kitchen

Finally started today, with a 100w 24v converter, and a gledopto ZigBee controller

Installation was easy, and the controller was quickly picked up. I previously installed a GFCI protected outlet under my sink, so I just plugged it into there.

I don't have a motion sensor yet, so it's just a timed automation:

Day: bright white, about 40% brightness Evening: warm white, about 20% brightness After 10: almoast amber, and about 1% brightness, just enough to pee by.

I bought several Sonoff mini4r to add some automation to my lights, and wanted to post a short review:

Pros:

• price is excellent. Got 5 for <$50 cad.
• Size is amazing, itsy Bitsy.
• Build quality feels good.
• Should be easy to flash, if my soldering skills were better, with exposed pads.
• Connected to my home wifi quick and easy.
• SonoffLAN easily picked them up, with full control.
• Detached relay mode works great, with switch fallback if wifi goes down.
• quick response time, under a second.

Cons:

• only rated for 10-12 amps, means I can't install this on switch controlled outlets.
• wish it had headers for flashing.
• wifi only, wish there was a ZigBee model.

In the end, I'm likely to buy more, and some Shelly units for where I need 16-20 amp relays.

People honestly beleive there was a massive empire until recently which covered most the globe, but was destroyed by a worldwide mud flood.

Somehow, spires on buildings made limitless power

Whose planning on upgrading from the Q2 to a Q3?

It seems like a lot of incremental upgrades, but it's a LOT of incremental upgrades.

Cost is definitely a lot higher than I like, close to 2x what I paid for my Q2
