homebridge-ewelink

🎉 3.8.0 🎉

If you are upgrading from a version prior to v3.6.0 then please review the configuration changes that came with v3.6.0

New Features/Improvements

• Contact Sensor & Motion Sensor Users

  • Eve History for contact sensors and motion sensors. This means you can see a historical record of contact/motion events from the Eve app. This applies to:
    • Any sensor set up as a contact or motion sensor via the Sonoff RF Bridge
    • The Zigbee door/window sensor (as contact sensor) and Zigbee motion sensor
    • Sonoff DW2 sensor (as contact sensor)

• iFan02/03 Users

  • Ability to hide the light accessory via the plugin settings
  • Ability to change the Home app fan icon - there's now a huge choice of three icons rather than just one

• B1 Bulb Users

  • Ability to change the brightness % of the B1 is now disabled, since this device never really supported it anyway. The brightness slider will only let you choose 0% or 100% mimicking the on/off status of the bulb. This should make colour selection more responsive.

• DW2+GarageDoor Users

  • The plugin will now initialise garage devices before sensors as a potential fix to avoid any errors showing on Homebridge re/start.

What's Next?

• I am aware that there is still work to be done with specific garage simulations (Eachen device, 4 garage doors) and it is my priority to get these working
• New devices to implement - please see my GitHub Issue

Support This Plugin

• If you're finding this package useful then please consider a ⭐️ on GitHub
• If you're finding this package really useful and would like to donate a coffee or a beer then please see the "❤️ Donate" section
• A big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to do either or both of the above - it is hugely appreciated 😀

🎉 3.7.0 🎉

Changes

• Fixes a bug for some HOOBS users
• Initial support for a 4-garage door accessory simulation with a 4CH sonoff accessory

⚠️ REMINDER Configuration Changes (From 3.5.*)

Please read this if you use any of the following configuration options:

• hideMasters - to hide SW0 channels of lights/switches
• hideFromHB - to hide SW1, SW2 (etc) channels of lights/switches
• ipOverride - to override a device’s IP address
• nameOverride - to override a device’s name when added to Homebridge

There are breaking changes to these configuration options in this update.

• hideMasters and hideFromHB have been merged into a single configuration option hideChanFromHB. You will need to add SW0 to the end of master device channels that were hidden, as the SW0 was not needed in hideMasters but now is required in hideChanFromHB.
• ipOverride and nameOverride have a new format, needed so they no longer disappear if you use the plugin settings window to update the plugin configuration

If you use any of the above options, I would recommend (1) taking a (copy+paste) backup of your current configuration and (2) reviewing the new formats for these options in the homebridge-ewelink wiki.

🎉 3.6.2 🎉

• 3.6.0 → 3.6.1 fixes a bug where SW0 weren't hidden when configured to
• 3.6.1 → 3.6.2 improvements to LAN listener which will ignore duplicate updates (and reduce log size!)

Other Changes (From 3.5.*)

• Updated readme with Homebridge installation link for new users

🎉 3.5.0 🎉

• Web socket: more stability improvements
• …and a couple of other random bug fixes!
