I have an eachen gate controller - with a reed switch… the device shows as on / off… it would be handy to be able to set the device type to “door / gate” - and have it rather show as open / closed

It would also be handy if I could pin protect something thats key to accessing my home 🙂

I would like to see the same for the DUALR3 instead of open/close I would like to change to fast/slow left/right up/down etc

Would be nice. I have the Eachen as well. Same a garage door motors.

Only show on or off. Off is closed…

I think because it’s Eachen and not Sonoff. So features are very basic on 3rd party products within eWeLink
