Will the virtual switch created in the eWelink app also be visible in iHost like other wifi devices that are displayed in iHost using the eWelink smart home addon? Can such a switch then also be used in automations made on iHost?

The virtual device created in Node Red will appear on the iHost and the Cast. I’ve never tried automating them with eWelink automations because they’re in Node Red anyway so I just automate there. Assume it works.

I didn’t mean the virtual switch created in Node Red. But the virtual switch offered by the advance plan in the ewelink app.

Sorry to keep you waiting. Virtual switches created in the eWeLink App can be synced to iHost via the eWeLink Smart Home add-on.
