A Rs1,990 device whose entire value is measured against the cost of the thing it prevents.

Syska Smart Wi-Fi RGB LED Strip Light 5 Metre with App and Voice Control
₹1,299
Single-zone rather than addressable, which is the honest difference between this and strips costing twice as much: the whole 5 metres shows one colour at a time, so the flowing multi-colour effects in the marketing images are not something this can produce.
Full details →Who the Aqara Water Leak Sensor T1 is for
Buy it if: Anyone with a geyser, water tank, or washing machine on a floor that would be expensive to water-damage.
Avoid it if: Anyone without a Zigbee hub -- there is no standalone siren on the sensor itself.
Who the Syska Smart Wi-Fi RGB LED Strip Light 5 Metre with App and Voice Control is for
Buy it if: Anyone adding accent or cove lighting on a budget who wants one colour at a time.
Avoid it if: Anyone expecting the multi-colour chasing effects shown in strip-light advertising -- that needs an addressable RGBIC strip.
