    That's not showing for me either. Is it region locked?

    Same :/

    Any other app work for the Sonoff or is there an apk?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    Found an apk, sorted. Just need the plugs now :D

    The app disappeared earlier today and then came back but intermittently. On one machine one browser can see it and another can't. Not clear what happened.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,056 ✭✭✭wait4me


    The app is, or was, in the Play store a couple of minutes ago - 8:30 am this morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    The app updated yesterday - maybe that fixed the listing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,466 ✭✭✭FastFullBack


    ya it's showing in app store now for me. It wasnt earlier

    Do you have the charger coming on for an hour a day or something?

    yes, just add batteries to get door sensors working.

    with the RF 433mhz bridge which translates the signals from radio frequencys from the sonoffs over on to your wifi. tiny little box you sit beside your router.
    Pair the bridge with your wifi like any of the sonoffs.
    Add the door sensors which will talk to the bridge and youll see them in the ewelink app under the bridge
    create scenes so that when door sensor is triggered things will happen like "lights" or set up an alarm with ifttt and stringify for alerting so no matter where you are, once youre online youll get notified.

    Ive 8 downstairs windows and doors to do, can get 10 pieces delivered for 40 euro from china where Ive had all my devices sent from

    going on holiday? reroute your alarming to a neighbours phone or email.

    Thanks, excellent info.....just wondering. The bridge, I have a large bugalow so I use multiple Powerline adapters. Do you know if I will need multiple bridges or how does that work?



    Thanks again

    Not sure if this is a qlitch at the moment but if you add them to the basket from this link you will get them for £3.31 per plug. (even if the link says £12+)

    Weird... if you click the link it says out of stock
    But if you search for sonoff on the site and click the S26 it is in stock
    or ensure it is just the link in the url bar, no ?SSAID stuff

    I have broadband with sky and apparently I can’t connect with these plugs (have 3 of them) because it only supports 2.4 WiFi. Anyone have anything similar?

    Are you sure the sky WiFi router only supports 5Ghz, I would've thought most modern routers do both? Ive found that I need to use a device that uses 2.4 to set the plugs up initially, like an old android tablet I have


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,346 ✭✭✭cullenswood


    There is a setting on Sky routers that allows you to have the two connections, both 2.4 and 5, meaning you can hook the Sonoff up to it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9 dsurf


    You need to go into your router settings and temporarily disable the 5Ghz signal allowing only the 2Ghz signal to be transmitted and picked up while setting up your Sonoff, when it's connected you can then re-enable the 5Ghz and life should resume as normal with your Sonoff plugs working as they were intended on 2.4Ghz. Hope this helps!

Hope this helps!

    I confirm dsurf is correct:
    1. Temporarily turn off 5GHz, make sure your phone is connected to 2.4GHz (it should be as the 5Ghz is off)
    2. Use the eWeLink app to set up your Sonoff.
    3. Once set up, re-enable 5Ghz and you phone etc should go onto the 5GHz Wifi and the Sonoffs will work on the 2.4GHz ---

    FYI - I had the same issue with the "New" Virgin Media white Compel router which broadcasts the same SSID for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.

    Anyone ever had the issue where the plug has a WiFi connection but not power seems to be coming out of it?

    No such issues here. You mean you are turning it on in the app but the connected device isn't powering on? Is the light on the plug turning red when powered on?

    I had a kettle plugged in, when I turn on the plug with the app it turns on but the kettle doesn’t boil. I pulled out the kettle plug to make sure it was ok and tried it in another socket and worked like normal. The normal green/blue light is on


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,631 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    Make sure the kettle isint too powerful for the plug.

    I'm using 4 or 5 plugs daily with no issues.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,466 ✭✭✭FastFullBack


    Bought 3 of these earlier this year, but only using them now for Xmas lights.
    Any automation apps that could connect these up with hue lights in a IFTTT type of way? E.g Hue light comes on then these trigger on.
    I've tried yomomi but it doesn't seem to have connection to ewelink.

    EDIT: ewelink itself seems to have ability to connect other devices and accounts but I don't see Hue as an option.

    For anyone using the eWeLink app can you have it installed in 2 different devices and both logged into the same account. I have it setup on my android and wife's iPhone. It wont keep both of us logged in. Wife has just logged in now and my app has forced me log out. If I log in on my phone it will then log my wife out.
    Annoying.

    I had that same problem. What u need to do is set up a 2nd account on ewelink. And then share the devices to that account.

    No. Logging in on another device logs you out on the first device.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,895 ✭✭✭matchthis


    I have it set up with google home and anyone of us can turn them on. Only find the app handy if we're coming back late and want to switch a few lights on, which is rare


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 442 ✭✭odddavey

    No it's straight forward enough.
    Select one of your devices, on the bottom left, select share. Enter the email address of recipient, then you can share all devices.
