Same dimensions as the T1s?

Waaaay snaller

Gonna be improving my home with this:

Would be awesome to have a wifi switch in every room. Perhaps even a switch for swimming pool and ponds....just need strong switches for them.

Went with the black version just to look better.

EDIT : And before we get responses from all the "geniuses", this wont work out the box as a third wire will be needed to have these units connected correctly. So will make a plan once received.
Will do an update once received from China and installed.

Been using a sonoff pow on my pool pump for about a year and a half now. No issues at all.

Anyone have experience with Swann CCTV? Is it better or worse than Hikvision?

This, prefer a more contemporary look.

But it turned out well. Enjoy


Quick question: why didn't you go for a built in microwave?

Look great. , Just one tip:- See that you run two separate fridges/freezers. If it is possible, on the left one, swap the orientation of the doors so to that they line up to the right one. Then you have two very easy to open doors from the center so to speak.

I did this with my Samsung fridges, was about 2 hours work one night. Only difference on mines is that there are no real handles so maybe easier to do for me .

Enjoy that kitchen.

Thanks, we considered going ultra modern but ended with this French country version which works well with th rest of the house.

Already had an existing microwave, may replace in the future with built in.

 

[Arzy]

Yeah, wil be doing that in due course, the doors can be switched around along with handles.

The floating shelves? Just display basically. Had a portable speaker on there before taking everything out for the photos.

I have a similar space where maybe I should do the floating shelves as well for all the glasses.

That seems a bit overkill?

Xiaomi has a security camera that can rotate 360 degrees for under R1k. It also has a speaker built in.

Just meant as an addition to a cctv setup.
