Nice would be a integration of eWeLink Camera. Like to have a widget of a camera to see if someone is at the door. :v:

This may require a certain level of user expertise, will discuss with our R&D, maybe in the future.
In the short term we will add the feature of modifying the background. :grinning:

I recently bought plug + meter (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlAFfOF) ( Ewelink-enchufe inteligente con Bluetooth y WIFI, dispositivo con temporizador de 16A, con Monitor de potencia, funciona con Alexa y Google Home) And it works perfectly with eWelink android app, also creating scenes.
But from Web.ewelink can’t see these devices neither create scene or even include this device in any Webhook scene.

Are you planning to support it?

Hi, this device is expected to be supported by eWeLink web scene&webhook next month, around the 9th Nov.

Ciao, avrei due domande da fare:

  1. come mai non riesco ad aggiungere il grafico dei consumi energia?
  2. il sonoff dual r3 in modalità motore anche se spento l’icona risulta accesa, sarebbe più opportuno che l’icona fosse spenta.
    grazie
#10

Ciao, per la tua domanda:

  1. per ora il grafico del consumo energetico supporta solo alcuni dispositivi, più dispositivi saranno supportati nella prossima versione entro questo mese.
  2. grazie per il tuo feedback, valuteremo la possibilità di ottimizzarlo.
#11

Please add support for dualr3 lite

Thank you

Hi, is it possible to add the following things?

  • possibility to sort the auto scènes
  • possibility to sort triggers and actions commandos for auto scènes , if you want to ad for example a commando between al ready programmed commando’s, it’s not possible
  • possibility to ad delays for hours in auto scènes (the max now is 59 minutes)
#13

It’s on our to-do list, will be supported soon.

#14

Unfortunately, Auto scenes will not be supported in CAST, the CAST is designed as a dashboard for quick control but the auto scenes are run without any touch, sort them in the APP or Web is recommended.

#15

Hi,
If you’re asking about Cast, the auto scenes won’t be added to the Cast.
If you’re asking about the App scene feature:

  1. the auto scenes sorting feature will be supported in mid December
  2. for the triggers, if you set ‘any conditions is met’ then the sorting feature does not make sense.
    if you set ‘all conditions are met’ ,then the sorting feature does not make sense either.
    for the actions, the action will be executed one by one, wen have no plan for the sorting, we suggest to add actions in order according to your needs.
  3. Currently no plans, it may be inaccurate if it takes too long.

Hi,
When will the Elite range of devices be available, my older devices now show temp and Hum thank you.

#17

#18

in next version, expected to release in early December

#19

hi, we’re considering this, it may take some time, perhaps after one or two release.

#20
