Hi eWeLink Community,
We want to extend our apologies for the issues some of you experienced with version V2.3.0. We’ve been listening closely to your feedback and logs, and our team has been working tirelessly over the past few days to address these concerns as fast as we can.
Here’s the progress till V2.3.2:
What’s Fixed
-
Reversed Color Temperature: We’ve resolved the issue with Zigbee lights, including certain IKEA models, where color temperature was inaccurately represented due to a different metric used by these light makers, resulting in reversed outcomes.
-
Malfunctioning TRVZB: The device was whitelisted and handled by the legacy Zigbee component due to the extra features it provides. Immigration causes some unexpected behaviors. The new patch fixed Auto mode and smart scheduling, along with a bug that could cause a blank schedule after upgrading to V2.3.0.
-
Backup Failures: We’ve addressed conflicts in rare conditions that were causing backup failures for some users, which originated from add-on data links.
-
Zigbee Component Failure: A fix is in place for the Zigbee component failure that resulted in loss of control over Zigbee accessories and a running red indicator on the iHost.
-
Tile2CUBE-WeatherAPI: The add-on should now be able to obtain access tokens from the CUBE system and function correctly after the update.
-
Historical Energy Consumption: The patch fixed unmatched records and false data returns. Certain devices now correctly show their energy consumption graph.
-
Matter Bridge: After backups, devices exposed to Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa via Matter should work now without a reboot.
What’s in Work:
-
Investigating visibility issues in the Zigbee topology where some devices are not displaying.
-
Addressing incorrect display and connection in the topology between devices and the gateway.
-
Some 2-ch Tuya switches report 3 channels without complete information to eWeLink CUBE causing related features to malfunction. Our team is working on a workaround to improve compatibility including Matter Bridge for such modified devices.
-
Working on an issue where devices exposed to Matter platforms go offline when restored to a unit that doesn’t have the Matter Bridge feature enabled.
What’s to Clarify:
-
Voltage readings of TRVZB were for internal diagnosis and did not contribute any features to users and were unsupported by the Zigbee2CUBE, future versions will hide the entity to avoid confusion.
-
The difference in percentage for Matter curtains in iHost and Apple Home isn’t a bug—it’s just a definition issue. Apple shows “40% Open,” while eWeLink CUBE shows “60% Closed.”
What’s Pending:
We need more information and effort on these issues to proceed with fixes:
-
Control failures with devices synced via the eWeLink add-on post-upgrade: Some users may use tools to modify files or there are potential issues with the SD cards. They could cause data corruption and malfunction. Our team will collect more information to navigate the cause.
-
Add-ons stopping after upgrades, needing a reboot of iHost; Initial investigation assumes there were issues with SD cards. We will try to collect the specifications of these cards for further work.
-
Wrong color mapping for RGB lights: We’ve received several cases on this issue, but have yet to restore the behavior or find any useful information from collected logs. Our dev team is on it and will keep you posted with any updates.
With the release of V2.3.2, we’re still hard at work on your feedback. Thanks for your patience as we tackle these issues. We appreciate your support and input as we continue to improve eWeLink CUBE.
