Xiamoi home automation bargains on sale - Gearbest

One More Toy

I'm liking these gearbest deals right now

First up I ordered this home automation gateway for €22.61 (seems to be price on the app only for now)

https://www.gearbest.com/living-appliances/pp_344667.html

Then ordered 3 of these Xiamoi led smart bulbs at €9.96 (doesn't have to be controlled by the Xiamoi official gateway - works with alexa too)

http://www.gearbest.com/smart-light-bulb/pp_278478.html

Worked out a tad under sixty due to using a few gb points from previous orders,if you sign up with a new email and subscribe to the newsletter you get 50 gb points or so

Didn't have to choose the gateway but it's a set up for an elderly couple so keep it as straight forward as possible

How much have they paid you to push these?

You can't post referral links here.

What do you mean?

So If I buy off these links, this Toy fella gets some kick back?

Or not?

Or What?

Referral links wont work for users, boards auto converts links to there own referral, your basically working for free for them posting it

I’d say Rossieman works down the Burlington Road for Amazon.

Don't give up , this board is a good resource, all posts appreciated, I see another tread about FB taking over, that would be a shame in my opinion.
I'm about to implement an RPi and UniPi setup as a BMS.... https://www.unipi.technology so interested in all things home automation at the minute.
To the self appointed stasi I have no connection with UniPi other than I bought a device from them.

Those links posted brought me to a referral link for sharing the item, assumed it was some sort of referral system gearbest started using to track their shills.

Apologies to the OP for any offence caused if they were genuine links.

Edit: those links have been changed since I posted about the referral links btw.

😀 I have version 1 of UniPi, I see they have a new device out now. Very powerful system with good interfaces.
