đŸ‘šâ€đŸ’»â€ă€Release Note】eWeLink CUBE V2.4.3 Update

Are we going to see a version 13.3.4, or 13.4, or even 14 soon and if so when may it be?

I’m conscious that China has been enjoying the holidays but for the rest of the world that are stuck with useless iHosts, we are desperately awaiting a working platform.

Please don’t keep us waiting much longer!

Get yourself Home Assistant on a stick and you’ll be fine :grin:

What do you mean by “on a stick”?

Everything on a stick is better :grin:

Does sonoff (not tasmota) also work with home assistant?

Yes, Sonoff devices are supported in various ways, officially by eWeLink and by the community. This support is with minor restrictions. In many cases Sonoff devices are supported much better, especially Zigbee ones.
There is an excellent Home Assistant custom component for control Sonoff devices with original firmware over LAN and/or Cloud. Official support is also available, but as in case of iHost and CAST it is
 well, you know :slight_smile:

I installed cube v1.13.4 and Paral-sync (v1.1.1) updates.
In node-red I made updates (node-red-contrib-ewelink-cube
v1.2.0).
NODE-RED displays a message that the NSPANEL PRO IP is incorrect.

Update 1.13.4 has broken the iHost. None of my 38 devices are connected and the don’t work.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please submit your system log in here or via feedback.
We’ll pinpoint what’s wrong.

Hey,

We will release a new patch to the Node-Red extension to fix this issue ASAP

It is a never-ending story of stumbles and falls :building_construction:

Meanwhile, the situation with Sonoff on Home Assistant looks like this. Everything works as expected despite the latest series of updates. Yesterday I moved the system from the SD card to the NVME drive and it works too.
Sonoff integration looks like this: WiFi in LAN and/or cloud mode and Zigbee directly with ZHA. The exceptions are TRVZB’s and NSPanel Pro. Overall, Sonoff is covered in Home Assistant surprisingly well.

After the last update 1.13.4, WhatsApp functions no longer work for me in Nodered. I installed the latest update of nodered: NODE_VERSION=16.20.0
YARN_VERSION=1.22.19

And restart the node Red docker. I made the mistake of just updating the palette but for it to take hold you have to restart too. I thought it was broken till I restarted the docker.

Is it safe to install this update 1.13.4 ???

My backup electric heating system is running on my iHost and I don’t want any troubles with it.

I use auto and manual scenes + 2x TH Elite Smart Temperature and Humidity Monitoring Switch

after restarting node red in docker it still doesn’t work

My Node Red and the updated TRV controls works, but I don’t use WhatsApp. Maybe it is a problem between WhatsApp and the developer of the Whatsaop Nodes - I have given up on quite a few nodes. Usually time has passed since the guide you followed was published and there is a collection of Nodes that have been updated more recently. I’ve noticed quite a few NR updates in Home Assistant OS lately, but I don’t think there have been so many to this docker version. Maybe this node has just been broken by a Node Red update.
As well as confirming my NR works I can say my notification system works (Pushover) although I’m fairly sure I don’t use the nodes that appear on their website because they are ancient.

it worked until i updated 1.13.4. installed, then it stopped working. So the problem is the sonoff software, not node red or whatsapp nodes.

I’m waiting for my SD cards, then Home Assistant will start on a Rapberry Pi. I get the feeling that with the ihost updates you first go 4 steps back and then 2 steps forward.
