Anyway, always be kind to the people that are serving you in order to resolve your issue. I always made sure to do this and it's always done everyone good, they're just doing their jobs and are there to help you after all.

I've went through this and had the same experience with
#Noctua who sent me additional mounting kits for free when I had bought the wrong cooler set for the wrong platform, #UGreen when one of my chargers weren't performing as advertised (they made me physically smash the charger they were replacing lmao), my overpriced #Razer mouse, and some #Seagate hard drives.

The only "bad" experience I've had with warranty was with a Chinese
#Shopee or #AliExpress seller I had bought a used (with "warranty") #AMD Ryzen 7 1700 CPU they'd sent me with bent pins, saying that issue "wasn't their fault", and also with the retailer that had sold me my #Nothing Phone 1 - tho in that case I believe it was an issue with Nothing's incompetence to keep their phones in stock, not the retailer themselves.

"We've proactively checked the recent tracking updates, as outlined above, and they indicate that your package, previously affected by a logistics issue, is now progressing smoothly in transit."

I guess Chinese export customs had to confirm I'm not in Trumpistan before allowing a capacitor to be shipped to me.

Stellt sich heraus. Selbst wenn mensch nur das billige china tuya smartzeugs nimmt, in der zigbee variante..

Und damit eine haustürklingel abbilden will.

Geht sogar _DAS_ out of the box mit fertigteilen von ali... ;)

Benötigt:

Zigbee Gateway (läuft eigenständig - ich hab 'n multimode gw - kost nur 8€ oder so mehr)
Tuya smart app mit china cloud (leider).
Tuya Zigbee Smart Scene button.
Tuya Zigbee Siren.

Und wegen der funkdämpfung und strecke im haus, noch einen zigbee repeater halt.

Das ganze läuft im 868mhz bereich und is daher deutlich durchdringender als wlan bei 2,4 oder 5+ ghz... yay ;)

Next step, home assistant server frickeln und mittels tuya convert die ganzen teile gen home assistant updaten.

Das kann noch was werden.

Aber immerhin, ein wichtiger teil der gewünschten funktionalität ist als POC schonmal implementiert. ;)

Tak už i prodejci na #aliexpress u kterých nakupuji léta letoucí, pro mne i pro kroužek - ročně klidně i za 10k a více - stojí za prd.
Nakoupil jsem 20ks LM317T (1,5A napěťový regulátor) a 10ks LM350T (3A napěťový regulátor) pro konstantní zdroje proudu.
Všechny ty LM317T dávali jen 200mA - prostě do matrice čipu osadili špatné rezistory - zatím jsem o tom jen četl.
Prodejce prudil při reklamaci
-nestačil popis závady a schéma
-pak ani fotky
-ani video
Zachránil mne platinový titul zákazníka.

Ok, so - bled a bit past lunch, but I got waist and torso done.

We worked out where this #aliexpress kit sits, quality-wise.

It's a 3d printed kit. There's definitely tolerance issues, but the design is also a bit shitty - stuff I guess higher quality materials and manufacture might ease.
