What is buffalo shipping?

Cheap shipping from China, NOT SAPO!!!!

Takes a bit longer than DHL or Aramex, but very cheap. The tax free option is less than R60 per order. If, for any reason. you get charged duty, you will get a refund from Banggood (or SunSky and others that now have Buffalo as a delivery option). Mine was handed over to Paxi here in SA for delivery to my nearest PEP store.

Ah okay that's great. Only question is, on BangGoods website I don't see Buffalo shipping as an option? Or is that the South Africa Direct Mail?

But these are not ewelink compatible.. so I'm guessing you need a different bridge of sorts?

aaah yes sorry i use tasmota and home assistant.
But i think ewelink can do any 443 mhz signal

edit: it will work with the rf bridge
 
For those using these door/window sensors or PIRs with the RF Bridge - how many sensors can one bridge handle? I believe that the bridge can accommodate 4 x 4-button remotes, for a total of 16 switched devices, but I can't find any any info on how many PIR sensors or DW1 sensors it can manage.

I'm setting mine up this weekend. 2 x PIR and 3 x DW. I'll let you know if all 5 can go on the same bridge.

So confusing!

  • Support to add max. sixteen 433MHz RF Remote/Curtain Switch/Alarm
  • Support to control up to sixty-four 433MHz RF devices
  • Support totally 8 schedule/countdown/loop timers to turn on/off 433MHz RF controlled devices

Thanks Dairyfarmer - I only have 3 PIRs here so I don't know what the limit is. I want to get a couple of dual-code door sensors but can't figure out if I need to order another bridge or two at the same time.
 
I have a Bridge setup already and one DW connected. Those bridges are so cheap I have ordered another one. I want the DWs and PIRs on seperate bridges.
 
@abudabi
770188 770190
2 x PIR
3 X DW
4 x Remote buttons

770192

If you have an RF device you can then add the remote as a 4 button. If you are wanting to control a non RF device then you have to add the button as an alarm.

So it would actually be better if you rather have a seperate RF Bridge for remotes and sensors. Else if you press a button and have alarms activated, you will get a notification.

So it looks like one bridge will accommodate 16 PIRs or door/window sensors (of the single contact variety)?
 
Think so. The only problem is if you want specific alarms. Any device that is triggered on a Bridge will give an alarm. It will tell you which alarm though.

I just put a DW inside one of my safes. It will popup if the door is opened. But so too will the PIR in my lounge and my front door, .....

So I learned 2 things;
A PIR would work better inside a rifle safe. There are too many corners to try line up the magnet and the reed.
You need a Bridge for each type of alarm you want.

Couldn't find anything on IFTTT yet.
 
I see IFTTT can use the DW1 as a trigger, that should be useful.

Or put a PIR in the safe and create a scene that switches a Basic when the PIR senses movement. You could have the Basic output to a siren/light/whatever and/or leave the outputs open and use the switch on IFTTT as a trigger/notifier.
