Hi I am removing all the wifi devices and changing to zigbee but I find that I will not be able to use the R5 and neither the S-Mate 2 because when the zigbee Mini-RBS version of the shutter is released and I remove the SONOFF DUAL R3 or the SONOFF MINIR4M where I have connected the two remotes. I won’t be able to use them anymore. Would it be possible to connect them to the SONOFF ZB Bridge-U in the future or to a ZBMINIR2 with an upgrade? I don’t know which uses the S-Mate2 or the R5 I think it uses BT connection. What is the solution if they are all zigbee with the S-Mate2 and R5 remote? Thank you. Edit: would it be possible to implement ewelink remote in the ZBBridge-U? This would solve my problem, I could link to the Hub and thus eliminate all wifi devices and only have zigbee. ---

Hi, the latest version of ZBBridge-U (V1.3.0) now supports adding eWeLink-Remote sub-devices. Here’s how it works: first, add your R5 by the ZBBridge-U in the eWeLink app. Then you can set up smart scenes, using the R5 as a trigger to control your Zigbee devices. It’s convenient! ---

How do I add it? There is no option to add ewelink remote devices or is the add zigbee option used? When I add an a-mate2, the option appears under compatible devices as add sub-devices. There is no such option here. Thank you. DualR3 photo ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/ewelinkforum/original/2X/f/f8577af7f2f624ec83c2cfa277ce4aaf1da1dad7.jpeg) ---

Hi there! 🙂 Have you updated both your ZBBridge-U and the app to the latest version? That option only appears after both are updated. ---

The ZBBRIDGE is up to date but on iOS the latest version is 5.18 and there is no new version available today. Is there a problem? Is it sent to apple? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/ewelinkforum/original/2X/5/5974199ae7a88f7a8ba2c8c52159341c89ac8d0e.jpeg) ---

Hello! The Android version is already available, and the iOS version is expected by the end of this month. Thanks for your patience.
