Hi all,
I’ve got a ZBMINIR2 in detached relay mode behind a momentary switch, to control a philips hue smart light (can change color and intensity). I’m wondering if it would be possible to expand the ZBMINIR2 function to not just on and off, but to cycle between light presets with a double click of the switch (e.g. high intensity, warm light, low intensity warm light, high intensity white light). I haven’t seen nothing like this in the market yet, and would allow to keep my house switches aesthetics. As I understand, a separate battery-powered scene switch is now necessary to do this. Could a software update unlock this capability?
eWeLink is, as you know, an easy and simple platform in its concept. Another platform I know that I am not allowed to mention here has, for example, integration with Node-RED, where you can even program an action for 3 short presses and one long one after another - the possibilities are endless. I would not have expected this to be implemented in eWeLink.
Tell me what made you use a smart bulb and ZBMINIR2 in detached mode at the same time? I have a similar overcomplicated idea myself, but I am curious why not just use the bulb and the smart remote/button?
I also use this connection. A smart bulb so that I can control its intensity and color. And a disconnection so that I can use the control with the existing switch.
