I have an eWelink Web account, as well as a local iHost. Both of these allow me to create Scenes, but is one better than the other? I would have thought the Scenes you created on your eWeLink account would have been shared with the iHost, but this doesn’t appear to be the case. Also, which Scenes are shaired with my Google Home account? ---

Scenes from the ewelink cloud will not work. Ihost is a completely local device with no cloud integration. ---

> [@giles.baxter](#): > > which Scenes are shaired with my Google Home account None are shared. As @ociepa.ekotox mentioned, iHost runs locally with the whole shebang. ---

Run the NodeRED docker on the iHost. Aswell as being more powerful, you have lots of pre-designed palettes to add and they have a backup function. I don’t really know why people with an iHost still use the inbuilt scene function. ---

I don’t really know why people with an iHost still use the inbuilt scene function. I’m still working out the best way of using the iHost I just found that using Scenes was a really easy way to build basic Automations. I have also played around with NodeRED, but I have had some issues triggering the actions to happen. When I use my eWeLink account, I can use voice commands from my Google Home to trigger my Scenes, but I’m not sure how to get this working from my iHost, and especially with NodeRED. If you have any pointers for this, that would be appreciated. ---

There are a choice of Google Home palettes in Node Red. I can’t remember what the name of the one I use is called. It’s just a web based middleman that sits between the iHost and Google Home. I think the iHost is officially all local so can’t connect to the google cloud.
