Hi eWeLink Team,

I am currently using the Sonoff BASIC-ZB1GSP primarily for energy monitoring and power metering.

I would like to request a feature in the eWeLink app (and firmware) to **disable or lock the ON/OFF switch functionality** (both physical button and in-app toggle) for this specific device.

**Use Case / Motivation:** When using the BASIC-ZB1GSP solely as a power meter on critical circuits (such as home servers, refrigerators, or main automation hubs), accidental toggling via the app UI or a physical press causes unwanted power outages.

A simple toggle option in the device settings—such as _“Disable Relay Toggle”_ or _“Lock Switch Status”_—would allow us to safely use the unit as a dedicated inline energy monitor without the risk of accidentally cutting power to critical equipment.

Thank you for your continuous support and great work on the eWeLink ecosystem!

Best regards,

Fabrizio

I have suggested this feature many times and so have other users and so far no response. In addition, some commenters argued that one must be careful. I hope that Ewelink will finally hear the call and introduce a lock on all action members
