Matthew McMillan: Review for Itead Studio wifi controlled smart home electrical switches

Matthew McMillan: Product Review: Itead Studio wifi controlled smart home electrical switches: The guys at Itead Studios are running an Indiegogo campaign for a couple new smart home products they developed called the Sonoff and the Slampher.

I recommend Matt's review. Matt is an engineer, and his video and blog seem very interesting.

Scott has used SONOFF and SLAMPHER with Arduino Uno, Nextion Display, 433Mhz RF transmitter, 433Mhz RF receiver, Grove Base Shield and Grove Sound Sensor to demonstrate. You can find SONOFF and SLAMPHER smart home device here.

How to Use eWeLink?

EWeLink is an App used to control ITEAD smart home products. This post I am going to show you how to make Sonoff WiFi switch and Slampher WiFi light holder work with the App. Sonoff and Slampher are ITEAD's latest home automation products, which are being crowdfunded in Indiegogo recently. There are Android and iOS versions for eWeLink. So I will introduce them separately. 

How to use iOS eWeLink with Sonoff and Slampher?

First of all, you need to get Sonoff and Slampher installed with an appliance and E27 light bulb. As you can see, there are SET button on Sonoff/ Slampher. By long pressing it, the green indicator LED will turn fast blinking, which means the device has entered into pairing status.

Download and Registration

Download iOS eWeLink from Apple App store and install. If you haven’t have an account, register with your phone number, the password must be at least 8 characters. Enter the verify code you received to submit. If everything is fine you can login with this new account.

Now you need to add device to your list. Below are iOS eWeLink Instructions

1.Long press the button on Sonoff/Slampher until the green indicator LED fast blink to enter pairing status.

2.Go to phone Settings >WLAN/Wi-Fi >connect with the network begins with ITEAD-1000***, 

enter default password 12345678.

3.Go back to the App to click “CONFIRMED”.

4.Enter your Router SSID and password.(SSID can be number, letter, hyphen and underline; Password only number. If no password, fill in 8 random numbers )

5.Go back to phone setting> WLAN/Wi-Fi

6.Select your own wifi or cellular network to connect.

7.Return to eWeLink to name your device to complete pairing.

It shows “This device has been added successfully!” , this means it can be used now.

It fails when it shows“This device has been registered by other user”.

When adding new devices, it takes a while to connect to server. Please wait a moment until the icon shows online.

Note: If you see the new added device is offline, please wait for a moment. If it keeps offline, please power off the device, then power it up, hopefully, it will become online.

How to use Android eWeLink with Sonoff and Slampher?

It is the same as iOS, you need to get your devices well installed. Then search eWeLink from Google Play market to download and install.

Android eWeLink Instructions

1.Open WiFi on your phone, long press SET button on Sonoff/Slampher until the indicator LED fast blink to enter pairing status.

2.Register and login your account, click “+” to add devices.

3.Click “Start searching” to search devices.

4.Select the device you want to add, and select your WiFi account and enter password (No special characters allowed ).

5.Name the device.

”Registered success”means you added it successfully. If this note doesn’t appear, you may face a timeout, please add again.

Note: If you see the new added device is offline, please wait for a moment. If it keeps offline, please power off the device, then power it up, hopefully, it will become online.

Delete devices

For iOS version, enter a device, you will see an icon right after the remote button. 

For Android version, to delete a device, you need to go to the devices list, then slide the device name from right to left. You will see the delete icon, just press it to delete your device.

Manage Group

This function currently only Android eWeLink has, later ITEAD will upgrade the iOS eWeLink and enable this function.

Click the top right corner button on device list interface. You’ll see”Manage Group””Exit Account””Exit e-Welink”. Click “Manage Group” to add or delete group. After adding group, you can long press to select the device and move it under your group. If you delete a group, the devices belong to this group will still exist.

Add Timing Schedules

You can set maximum 8 timing schedules for each device. Both single timing and repeat timing are supported. We can set turn on timing schedule so that our device will auto-turn on at a preset time, or you can set turn off timing schedule.

Enter into our device, click setting icon to set the date and time.

Share Devices

Enter the device you want to share, click “share”icon then enter the Phone number (this phone No. should register and login first, stay online) you want to share with. Then he/she will receive an invitation message, by accepting the invitation, he/she will have the authority to control the device you share. Only the owner of the devices has right to share devices.

So this is all about how to use eWeLink to work with Sonoff and Slampher. One thing must be sure, the App will be upgraded in the near future. Thus, eWeLink will have more functions and can control more devices. If you are interested to learn more about Sonoff and Slampher, search them on Indiegogo and you will get more information there. You can learn more about the installation, pairing with 433Mhz RF remote or others from another blog.

Latest Smart Home Solution- Sonoff and Slampher

As I have introduced you Sonoff and Slampher before. This post I am going to introduce you the RF remote controller. RF remote controller's frequency is 433Mhz, so you are allow to control your devices indoor.

Many friends ask me how this RF remote controller pair with Sonoff or Slampher recently. So I want to give more details here.

Sonoff WiFi wireless switch and Slampher can be controlled by the App eWeLink, except this or by the RF remote controller. The RF remote controller can pair and control Sonoff/Slamper devices without WiFi. To do the pairing, you need to Fast press "SET"button on Sonoff and Slampher twice, the red LED on Sonoff/Slampher will flash one time, now press one of the ABCD buttons on the controller to pair with. If you pair it with A, then you can press A to turn on/off your device.
To cancel the pairing, you need to fast press the"SET" button on Sonoff/Slampher 3 times.If you short press the “SET” button on Slampher, it will become a switch button, with it you can turn the bulb on or off your light bulb.

No need to worry when you can not find your phone or your phone is power off any more, you can use the RF remote controller to turn on/off your devices. 1 such RF remote controller can control 4 devices. With this RF remote controller in hand, you can reduce your workload a great deal.
