I'm very interested in seeing your DIY set up!

[@HiveMindAutomation]

it's been a while since I worked on it. I'll need to dedicate some more time. Will make a video when it's a real thing

[@Twuggus]

I'm always amazed as to how many projects could use a Puck light.

[@HiveMindAutomation]

Me Too

[@BilginOzkan76]

I'm interested in a DIY kit. As a fellow Melbourner, home assistant aficionado, WLED enthusiast, and (recently upgraded to) a K1C owner, happy to help too!

Not sure if you discovered it yet but try pressing the clock icon on the end of the white/colour mode button for the scheduling options. Not very obvious but I've seen the same on some other arlec devices. Which version of localtuya are you using, it has looked up the device keys by itself for a while now if you give it your account details.

[@HiveMindAutomation]

My Local Tuya is up to date, but I've never managed to get it to work with the "Auto" features. been a while since I tried though. Honestly I think I'm done with anything Tuya at this point. I MIGHT revisit if/when they release something with Matter certification, but I'm not holding my breath for that.

Hey, do these Arlec puck lights come with the option of screw mounting or only tape? I can't find the manual online and Arlec wouldn't answer my question. Hoping to mount them in my bar in my shed and loath anything mounted with tape, never seems to last IMO.

[@HiveMindAutomation]

it's only tape. I've been trying to set aside time to work on my own project that includes screw mounts in a 3D Printed enclosure, but time is elusive.

[@AndrewDanne]

As time goes by I am hating, no more like loathing Tuya more and more, Cloud is slow, HA Tuya does not support all the functions, Local Tuya works but fails binding every couple of months and I think there is a better alternative even if it is Zigbee here in Australia. I'm very interested in seeing your WLED DIY project as I think that is the way forward!

Awesome Video I recently visited your KZbin channel and enjoyed your content. However, I noticed that your videos are not ranking well due to some issues. I believe that if these issues are addressed, your videos will rank better. Here are the issues I found with your channel: 1. Video SEO has not been properly done. 2. Videos are not being released on time. 3. The video titles are not optimized. 4. Keyword research has not been done effectively. 5. Video thumbnails are not appealing enough to attract viewers. Solving these issues will help your KZbin channel perform better.

I appreciate the feedback.
