I’ll say that I was a bit surprised by this product… I didn’t know that potential customers of Sonoff products needed something like this.
A lot of other solutions would probably be on the list to create, but something like this…
There must be a big demand for something like this.
The idea of using this device for something more than meat, even as some kind of temperature measurement module and introducing it into scene automation will probably not be possible because communication is only via BLE and locally per app, if I understand correctly.
Although with a little effort it would probably be possible to create something using Macrodroid… although it depends on how alarms/notifications are implemented.
Because there is no point in counting on the ewelink app finally starting to have intent broadcast.
I was also shocked by such a product. I left several angry comments on the Sonoff page on Facebook. You constantly sit and wait for some interesting new product. With impatience, and you get this crap!!! What is this forum for and the presence of Sonoff representatives on it??? Many people wrote about the desired products, and they move in the opposite direction from the wishes. I sincerely want this product to be unprofitable, so that they understand that they need to listen to their customers!!! The competition in the market is simply huge, almost every week or a couple of times a month I come across reviews of new products from other manufacturers, and ours is engaged in nonsense!!! And if it releases, then everything is somehow not done and you have to wait several months for an update, troubleshooting.
I’ve been having big problems with my ZB device lately. And I can’t exactly determine if it’s a network problem or some problem on the Ewelink side. Instead of a roast meat watchdog, I would appreciate and not be the only device to diagnose the ZB network. As far as I know, the user of the application has no way of ensuring which devices are connected where, whether everything is fine, and whether they are sufficiently baptized.
I think this is a product aimed at the American market and there will probably be people willing to buy it.
I recently found something like this on the Internet.
