iHost - Node Red - eWelink Cube - register device support

[vaetusromeo]

Hi Minnie,

I should update this by saying I did not read the instructions before hand and it was wrongly used by me (should have used put-device to transmit data, not only register-device).

Main issue is now that the documentation is addressed to more experienced people (who probably understand JS, unlink me ) and that either some of the functions expect a different name or I was using it wrong.

Either way, a simpler chart to show what register-device expects as data via json would be better for “enthusiasts” and beginners such as myself. I’ll compile an example once I have access to my iHost and share it.

Please see my other topic for more details and I will submit the logs once I get home.

Thanks!
