  1. I have done more digging and found Youtube video on making the WiFi to Gateway connection specifically to the Yieryi water monitor I'm using. It really should be as simple as pairing Bluetooth devices. It is clear to me now that the app is connected to my 2.4GHz wifi, same as phone, but cannot find the gateway device. Until that is completed I can't search for and connect to the zigbee pool monitor. I'm fresh out of ideas now. Any input is welcome.
  2. I recently bought a Yieryi 7-in-1 pool water monitor that has a Zigbee interface. Yieryi cautioned that I need a Zigbee Wireless Gateway/Hub to connect to the meter. I got a NESTHome Wifi/Zigbee gateway on Lazada but cannot connect to the Gateway. I have downloaded Yieryi's app but come to find out that it is like all other home device control apps, with many of the screens even being the same. The idea is seems, is to install the app on your phone, 2.4GHz WiFi only, same network as the gateway uses. Once the app connects the Gateway device to the phone, one adds the 'subdevice' water monitor or whatever after that by pushing the reset button on the water monitor. The Gateway device commonly has a blue and red light and in WiFi pairing mode the blue light is steady and the red is slow flash. This is normal and indicates to try to pair the app with the Gateway. When you initiate the pairing the app starts a device search for the Gateway device but never finds it. Neither of the apps I've tried seem to be able to connect to the router. Both are generic TUYA apps that have several types of Gateway/Hub devices to choose from, some Bluetooth, some Zigbee, some BLE whatever that is! I tried about 6 WiFi/Zigbee devices with no joy. I have to assume that all the smart home devices that use WiFi use the same method and must be very easy to use or nobody would want them. If anybody has any such gateways and home devices (this is my first try) maybe you can help me understand some obvious thing I'm doing wrong. I can't believe it is this hard to do. BTW, email and online chat with Yieryi have gone unanswered. I wish I could find a local office but that's just a wet dream. Any help is appreciated, even to just understand the basics of home control tech. This link is to Yieryi page advertising the monitor. Amazingly they sell this on Amazon USA for $200 but I paid about 2,300THB on Lazada. The Gateway devices are 300-500THB. https://shop.yieryimeters.com/products/7-in-1-ph-meter-pool-salt-tester-chlorine-tester-with-smart-hub-digital-chlorine-meter-waterproof-ec-<removed>-orp-temp-meter-for-swimming-pools Yieryi is a big Chinese company with many tech water products using mesh network technology, so I believe the product itself works, I just can't connect to it. Thanks in advance.
  3. No. None at all. Exactly what I expect from your ilk.
  4. Of course it sounds familiar. All of you sycophants do the same thing, which is repeating verbatim whatever you hear your fearless leader saying.
  5. I also respect rabid animals. I stay as far away from them as possible and if I can't then I just destroy them. It's actually in everybody's best interest after all.
  6. Right. Got it. Real candidates have balls. How insightful of you Mr Johnson.
  7. Wow! I never realized New Zealand have so many problems. I guess I'll not take a vacation there.
  8. You can but as the OP correctly pointed out, you can get COD privileges revoked. It happened to me because a vendor complained but lazada reinstall it when I called and complained. They looked at my hundreds of successful orders and knew which side of the bread I buttered for them.
  9. Good point. It's thoughtful replies like yours that sets AN apart.
  10. Thanks but I'll vote for Harris who is far superior to either Trump or a sock puppet. I appreciate your gracious allowance though.
  11. Thanks. I assume he will want to stay more than 90 days because he mentioned retirement.
  12. As far as I know you can't retire in Vietnam now many longer unless you're married to a national. I think the longest Visa is one month at this point. This happened about a year ago.
  13. Personally I would vote for a sock puppet over Donald trump. I have a blinding hate for Donald Trump but that's not the same as being blinded by hate. The entire world will have a very bad next four years of trump wins.
  14. Of course we will be caught off guard; that's the human condition. Humans are never prepared for disaster. It's called normalcy bias.
  15. It's an auction yes? Top of the list is the highest bid; nationality is irrelevant.
  16. Take it any way you want. Twist and contort as is the way with your type.
  17. Agreed. I feel even more disgusted with Trump than I did in 2020. He's a cesspool attached to a firehose and it never stops. Maybe third time will be a charm. Here's hoping.
  18. Meaning they are a kettle of rats? Oh my. That's disgusting!
  19. You don't need to be joking because you are, in fact, the joke itself.
  20. Extremely object or reject or it's something like that but I but anyway and then I think that what you said I don't know exactly but I think that maybe if I were to say that maybe
  21. One would have to be a fool to take anything trump says at face value
