All of a sudden, Aliexpress threw the same big sale as 11.11. A lot of coupons and promotional codes have been handed out and distributed. I made a whole twelve purchases.
$ 3 coupon and promotional codes give on this page. Additional promo code GALKINLOVESYOU gives a discount of 1000 rubles for purchases from 7000 rubles. If you have accumulated coins, at the beginning of each hour they can be exchanged for coupons in the mobile application in the "Games and bonuses" section. You need red (not white) coupons. The sale ends on Saturday, August 29th at 10am ET, so hurry up.
So, I bought the following:
1. Step drill set for $ 8.68 with free shipping from Russia (including coupons I paid $ 7.48). Yesterday I mentioned it, by the way they already sent it and the track code is really Russian.
2. 4G camera for $ 59 (including coupons paid $ 48.94).
I have long wanted to see such a miracle of Chinese thought. This is a video surveillance camera, into which a SIM card and a memory card are inserted and its power supply is connected to the network. It doesn't need Wi-Fi or wired internet. I took the most popular model on purpose. And he also specially took it with the possibility of returning. If something goes wrong, I'll just write a review and return it.
3. 16-channel DVR card for IP cameras supporting 5MP, H.265 and face and person detection for $ 17.22 (including coupons I paid $ 14.04).
I decided to update the dacha video surveillance system - I really liked how human detection works.
4. 8-port POE switch for $ 12.17 (including coupons paid $ 10.88).
Not everything is clear with him. There is no power supply in the kit, but it is not clear whether it can be powered by POE itself. Will come and figure it out. :)
5. My most expensive purchase is a Gophert CPS-1660 16V 60A laboratory power supply for $ 178.44 (I paid $ 143.27 with the promo code).
I already have a completely wonderful and inexpensive Gophert CPS-3205 II, and I need this one for testing wires, extension cords and electrical equipment, because it gives up to 60 amperes. I was choked by a toad for a long time to spend almost two hundred bucks on it, for $ 143 we managed to agree with Toad. :)
6. Ordinary LAN Cable Tester for $ 3.42 (including coupons, paid $ 3.02).
"Shoemaker without shoes". My similar tester broke down about three years ago, and I still couldn't get my hands on a new one.
7. Adjustable bicycle stem for $ 10.97 (including coupons paid $ 9.44).
I have long wanted to raise the handlebars of the bike to make it easier to ride around the city.
8. Xiaomi Bluetooth Thermometer / Hygrometer for $ 3.77 (including coupons, paid $ 3.24).
Three Zigbee temperature / humidity sensors are already working in my dacha, and I thought it would be convenient if the sensor was equipped with a screen. Let's see if it works with the third version gateway.
9. A dozen self-adhesive radiators 14x14x6 mm for $ 2.72 (including coupons paid $ 2.29).
I decided to extend the life of the cameras by gluing such radiators to the processor. I chose the size to fit exactly.
10. LM2596HV "High Voltage" StepDown Probes at $ 0.98 each (including coupons, paid $ 1.71 per pair).
Unlike conventional LM2596s, this can supply up to 53 volts. Just what you need to power 12-volt cameras from a 48-volt POE.
11. Zigbee temperature / humidity / pressure sensors Xiaomi Aqara - $ 18.84 per pair (including coupons I paid $ 15.68 per pair).
Three round Mijia temperature / humidity sensors are currently working in my dacha. I'll add two more of these and the bluetooth one I wrote about above.
12. Zigbee motion / light sensors - $ 22.82 per pair (including coupons, paid $ 19.36 per pair).
At the dacha there are two such sensors and work perfectly, I will add two more.
I hope I didn't forget to buy anything. What interesting things did you buy at the sale?
