🎉 v3.13

If you are updating from a version prior to v3.12 then please read the changelog as there may be some breaking changes between versions.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• TH10/16 Users

  • The "hide switch" configuration option has changed to allow the hiding of the switch per TH device. After updating, you will need to use the plugin settings to enter the device ID of your TH device in the new Hide TH10/16 Switches setting.

• RF Bridge Users

  • The "reset rf bridge" configuration option has changed to a "per device" basis. After updating, you will need to use the plugin settings to enter the device ID of your RF Bridge device in the Reset RF Bridges setting whenever you need to reset a specific RF Bridge.

Improvements

• Added S55 to outlet device list
• v3.13.1 → v3.13.2 Added S26R1 to outlet device list
• v3.13.2 → v3.13.3 Fixed issue where temperature sensors didn't support negative celcius

Backend

• Increase switch update range to 0~750ms
• Fixed a small issue when controlling a switch the plugin would attempt to update it twice
• v3.13.0 → v3.13.1 iFan callback error fix
• v3.13.2 → v3.13.3 Fixed an issue when adding newly detected multi-switch devices on-the-go (without HB restart)

🎉 3.12.0

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• If you currently use the 2 irrigation valves accessory simulation please follow these steps before updating:
  1. In the eWeLink section of your Homebridge configuration, find the line "type": "valve", and change this to "type": "valve_two",.
  2. Do not restart Homebridge (even if it suggests you do)
  3. Update this plugin
  4. Homebridge can be restarted now

New Features

• New accessory simulation - 1 irrigation valve using a single channel device
• New device support - B02-F filament bulbs (with colour temperature)

Improvements

• Fixed an issue with the TH10/TH16 where the switch would not appear as the primary service (accessory cache reset required)
• Fixed an issue where multi-switch devices were not updated in certain situations
• Added a random delay for switch updates (between 10-500 milliseconds) to split up simultaneous requests (ie HomeKit scenes)
• Added header logo and wiki links to the plugin settings screen
• Updated the readme with more wiki links

Backend

• Bump ws dep to 7.4.0

🎉 3.11.1 🎉

This update is more of useful tip 💡 about using different eWeLink accounts, but first...

If you have not updated this plugin recently, please read the release notes for:

• v3.10.0 release notes
• v3.11.0 release notes which contained some ⚠️ breaking changes to certain switch devices

💡 Different eWeLink Accounts

Some users (especially users who have been using homebridge-ewelink-max) may be using two eWeLink accounts: a main account for their eWeLink app and a second "shared" account for Homebridge/HOOBS.

Whilst this was necessary in the past, this is no longer the case. You can use your main eWeLink account in both the eWeLink app and Homebridge without interference.

I recommend to all users to use their main eWeLink account in Homebridge, as device updates are more responsive especially for devices that don't support LAN mode.

Changing your account details will not remove/re-add devices - device names, room designations and HomeKit scenes/automations will not be affected.

v3.11.0 → v3.11.1

• Enabled support for eWeLink diffuser devices #136
• Improves support for multi-channel device updating #130
• Updated the readme with a wiki link about multi-channel devices

🎉 3.11.0 🎉

This is a swift follow-up to version 3.10.0 which introduced issues for a small number of users.

⚠️ Breaking Feature

• This update will affect users who own a wall light switch device for example models T1-1C/T1-2C/T1-3C/TX-1C/TX-2C/TX-3C. This update will remove the current light accessory that appears in Homebridge/HomeKit, and replace it with a switch accessory. This means:

  • You may choose to display the accessory as a light (as it was before) via the Home app
  • Any automations that you have setup with these devices will need to be reconfigured
  • Home app device names and room allocations should remain the same
  • Whilst the devices in Homebridge should update quickly, please allow a few minutes for the devices in HomeKit (Home app) to update as there can sometimes be a small delay

• The idea of this is so that users who use these devices now have the opportunity to display their device as a switch or a fan, rather than it having to be a lightbulb.

⚠️ v3.10.0

• Please read the release notes for v3.10.0 if you haven't already updated to this version

Bug Fixes

• npm ERR! code ENOENT bug which users encountered if they did not have git installed. This has been fixed now.
• Cannot read property 'httpHost' of undefined bug which a small number of users encountered has been fixed.
• Zigbee switches no longer show a battery service

🎉 3.10.0 🎉

New Device Support

• Added support for the Sonoff LED bulb (colour mode only)
• Added support for the Zigbee single switch

Switches

• Historical graphing via the Eve app for on/off status [see final note]

Sensors (RF/Zigbee/DW2)

• Historical graphing via the Eve app for detection status [see final note]

TH10/16 Thermostats

• Historical graphing via the Eve app for on/off status [see final note]

Multi Channel Switches/Lights

• When adding to Homebridge, they will now use the channel names defined in the eWeLink app, rather than using SW1, SW2, etc

Outlets

• Added a configuration option to expose outlets as switches for users that would prefer this
• Improvements to power readings in the Eve app and Total Consumption calculations [see final note]

RF Bridge

• Added a resetRFBridge configuration option which can be used when adding/removing sub-devices to/from the RF Bridge (as the plugin cannot detect this on-the-go)

Backend

• Added a small delay between requests if multiple devices are controlled at the same time (e.g. through automations)
• Plugin version will now appear in logs
• Reduced required node version to hide warnings during installation
• Other small bug fixes and improvements

⚠️ Final Note

• In order to enable the Eve graphing for the devices mentioned above, the device will need to be removed from the cache so that it can be re-added to Homebridge - please see here for instructions
