We’re excited to announce a brand-new add-on for iHost: the eWeLink-Remote Gateway.
This add-on brings native support for eWeLink-Remote sub-devices—such as the R5, R5W, S-Mate, and S-Mate2—directly into your Home Assistant setup running on iHost.
Once installed, your iHost can act as a gateway, allowing you to pair and manage sub-devices that use the eWeLink-Remote protocol. These devices can report trigger events like single-click, double-click, and long-press, which can be used to control automations across your smart home.
Key Features:
Pair eWeLink-Remote sub-devices directly to iHost
Trigger Home Assistant automations via R5/S-Mate button events
Seamless integration with the Home Assistant interface
Fully optimized and tested for 32-bit iHost systems
Whether you’re using wireless smart buttons for lighting scenes or triggering complex automations, the eWeLink-Remote Gateway add-on helps bridge the gap between physical interaction and virtual control.
The add-on is now available in the official iHost add-on repository. Try it out and let us know what you build with it!
As always, we welcome feedback and suggestions—let’s keep expanding the iHost ecosystem together.
