Yeelight LED Bulb (16 Million Colours)

Most lamps in Singapore are using E27 which is the same as this bulb. If your lamp or socket happens to be an E26, do not worry. The E27 is 27mm while E26 is 26 mm. However, an E27 bulb can fit in the E26 base, and an E26 bulb can fit in the E27 base without a problem. For other conversions, you can get an adapter from a nearby hardware shop.
You simply must turn on and off the bulb every 2 seconds for five consecutive times. Once you see the Yeelight bulb flashing various colours and finally goes to fully lit, you will now be able to pair the yeelight with your Yeelight App or Mi Home App. Take note you do not have to do this if you are installing the bulb right out of the box. This step is only necessary if you are troubleshooting.

Aqara Wall Switch

No, we don’t, we currently have the single and double gang versions only. In fact, Aqara does not manufacture triple gang switch at the moment.
Yes, it is if you would like to control it from your smartphone and it can double up as a normal switch too without a gateway.
For the no neutral wire required version, the load range is no more 800W.
The short answer is Yes. But here is the long answer. The way two-way switches work is that there are switches on two sides of the hallway (e.g. Switch 1 and Switch 2). When you switch on the lights on Switch 1, the bulb turns on, and you go to the other end of the hallway to switch off the same bulb using Switch 2 the circuit is open, and lights go off. The issue here is that when you turn off the switch, you are breaking the circuit which means the current is no longer flowing through both the switches. As a result, the Aqara switch will not work, and thus all automation that depends on it will stop working as well.
The solution is simple. You have to patch your wires at either Switch 1 or Switch two so that it is no longer a two-way switch set up. In the end state, there will be no more switch 2, and you can only control the lights using Switch 1. You can then replace Switch 1 with the Aqara Wall Switch. Now to still enjoy the two-way switch experience you will place a wireless switch to replace Switch 2. Now the wireless switch will automatically turn on/off your light bulb by turning on/off the Aqara Wall Switch. There is two wireless switch for your consideration 1. Xiaomi Wireless Switch which is small, round and cheap. You can do single press, double press and long press.

Xiaomi Motion Sensor

The Aqara Motion sensor is more advanced as it also has an inbuilt light sensor. This way you can program your lights to turn on when there is motion detected AND there is also Darkness. With the Xiaomi motion sensor, you can only choose automation based on motion detection but not based on the absence of light. As a workaround, if you are using the Xiaomi Motion sensor to avoid turning the lights on in the daytime, you can set a condition to only to run the task after 7 pm. Whereas with the Aqara Motion and Light Sensor you will still automatically turn on the lights even though it is in the afternoon time if it happens to be dark and cloudy on that day.

Yes, you can set up the settings to receive such notifications on your Mi Home app.

Yes, you can that is a good idea. This way you are only turning on the lights after sunset. However, with the Aqara Motion Sensor, you do not have to set a time condition. It will automatically determine if it is dark and turn on the lights if there is motion detected. Which means on rainy days where it can get dark even during daytime, you will have full automation. If it rains during the daytime, with the Xiaomi motion sensor, you will still have to turn on the lights manually. With the Aqara motion sensor since it is not time specific, instead it is brightness specific, so you will continue to enjoy full automation.

You can use the Aqara motion sensor to turn on your Yeelight Bulb, Yeelight LED Strip, Yeelight Ceiling Light or if you are replacing your normal wall switch with the Aqara Wall Switch you can also control your normal ceiling lights, downlights and track lights.

Don’t worry there is no paranormal activity if this happens. If the motion sensor placed near a heat source like oven or any other heat-emitting appliances, such a situation may occur. Though unlikely, strong sunlight could cause this effect too. So, do install it in a place where these conditions are ruled out. 99.9% of the time you will not face any such issues.

Place the motion sensor on higher grounds suitable for human motion detection only.

Press and hold the reset hole of the device for 3 seconds; the indicator flashes three times to restore the default settings.

Yes, you can, but you would need to reset the device first before re-pairing to another gateway.

Aqara Motion Sensor

Firstly, ensure you have activated the night mode for the motion sensor on your Mi Home App, and secondly, after the Aqara motion sensor detects motion and you walk away it will wait a minute before it can be triggered again which explains the delay in the gateway lights turning on. If you continue to be in the vicinity of the motion sensor it will continue to know that you are still around. The one minute wait time to be re-triggered only happens after you are no longer in the vicinity.
