Hello,
It could be interesting to add as category also dryers and washing machine, even dishwasher could be an idea. With node-red could be used as virtual ones. And then interact with Alexa for example.
Does it need to be so complicated? 
Hi,
Unfortunately the template’s for dryers an washing machines are missing… My idea when I bought ihost was to use it as a home server and interact with all different products. Up to now the easy way is to use home assistant. But I prefer to use standard ihost software with node-red. I have published a couple of examples on ewelink forum.
Well, Ska79, you wanted to turn iHost into a home automation server rather than just a hub. Now comes the fun part: convincing eWeLink to share that vision.
