Hi, I think it would be very useful to be able to have a notification if a scene is not executed. You could introduce an option that allows you to decide whether or not you want to be notified if a scene could not be executed. Personally I use scenes that I cannot always verify if they are executed and for whatever reason if they were not executed I would risk causing damage (for example to the water pump).

How can I log in from multiple devices at the same time?
What is the reason for multiple logins at once?
1- I have 2 devices.
2- I want my family to have access too.
3- Other applications have this feature, e.g. tuya smartlife.
Let me now reverse your question.
What is the reason that the ewelink application does not achieve simultaneous access to multiple devices???
I clearly understand. I think itâs not possible directly, but I solve it by saying that each device has its own account and the necessary functions are shared on it.
I suspect it is a security thing. Only having one login makes it easy. For example, one of the ways Russians âhackedâ Ukrainian soldierâs Telegram accounts was by just talking them into letting them have an extra âweb accessâ. Tailscale allows multiple log ons but defaults to a 90 day access.
Incidentally, I have a flow for Failed device control events as a Node Red sub-flow. Itâd be quite easy to change it get errors in a flow instead. Where are you running these Scenes? eg. Cloud?

I control the exterior lights at home.
Hi, thanks for your reply. All my scenes are managed on the cloud and in some cases they are scenes created in NSPANEL PRO 120 between zigbee devices and therefore I think they are executed locally, I donât know if in this case they are present in the cloud. Where is Node Red executed?
Node Red executes wherever you run it. There is a docker image on the iHost and an âadd-onâ in Home Assistant OS. Then it is served devices by eWeLink Cube running on a local server such as an iHost or NS Panel Pro. If you have a computer that is always on that can run node Red then you can run scenes locally. That includes some routers that are powerful enough to have Node Red run on them but more typically it is a raspberry pi.
actually I was thinking of something simpler and within everyoneâs reach, an option to activate or not that, when active and whenever there is a scene that could not be executed, makes a notification that allows you to check the scene log and possibly solve the problem
You might already have had a Node Red setup. One of the advantages of sub-flows is that they look like a normal node and hide all the complexity inside them.
At the moment I have not installed node red and I do not know how to install it, among other things I would need a local server as you explained to me. Do you think there is a simpler solution that is suitable for everyone without the need to install local servers? It would be enough to know that one of the scenes was not executed, not which one, obviously with this warning I go to check the scene log and verify what happened
The Sonoff iHost has the ability to run docker images and there is a guideline how to add eWeLink Cube:
This is why I thought you might already have a device and it setup. If you had it you could quite easily replicate the scene in Node Red and then if it didnât work figure out why.
I donât have iHost yet because I havenât figured out how to combine it with Ewelink. I read that itâs not possible to access it from the outside and so Iâve always thought it wasnât suitable for my needs. In my case I always need to access devices from the outside too. Could you suggest something to read or watch? Because I donât rule out buying iHost but I need to figure out how to integrate it into my smart home system. Thanks
