So I notice eWeLink only support like 20% of my Philips Hue bulbs due to them being different models. But Google Home and Alexa does support all my bulbs…
Is there a way of «tricking» eWeLink to support them by linking Hue->Alexa->eWeLink, or Hue->Google->eWeLink?
I dont know if its possible to run it through several apps? At least I cant get it working.
Ultimately I want to control them through my NSpanel Pro, so I guess Im stuck with eWeLink
Using Matter feature should link some of them to eWeLink except single color light/hue plug;
All Hue Bridges and most of their products support Matter
I never got it working, because the Matter pairing code I get from the Philips Hue -app is not accepted in the eWeLink -app, see screenshot.
Please use the format like
12341231234
instead of
1234-123-1234
iOS app v5.8, coming later this month, will support Matter setup codes in formats like the latter.
I think maybe Im misunderstanding how it works. I thought the Philips Hue hub was considered a Matter hub, but I guess Im missing some hardware. Do I have to purchase a Matter hub?
My goal is to control my hue bulbs with my NSpanel pro.
It is called Philips Hue Bridge, and it acts as a Matter Bridge/Zigbee Gateway.
NSPanel Pro is a Matter Hub
I have iHost, ZBBridge Ultra, NSpanel Pro
and
Philips Hue Bridge with many bulbs and switches.
Can I sync all bulbs and switches to eWeLink system ???
Not all, on/off light and dimmable light are not supported yet. Color light, temperature light from hue should work with NSPanel Pro via Hue Bridge.
Or you can just use Philips account link with eWeLink App which utilizes Hue local API
I tried link accounts but got message that my Philips devices are not supported.
Can you provide the models? Thx
