Sonoff /eWeLink component for original firmware

Hi everyone, first post here! I’ve just found out by mistake this awesome Home Assistant framework and to my surprise I couldn’t find a component that would support Sonoff Basic switches (I don’t have others right now) out of the box. If you have the time (or need) feel free to give it a try, most of the details are already laid out in the description: https://github.com/peterbuga/HASS-sonoff-ewelink Looking forward for some possible feedback. Update with awesome support from @forums2012 t…

ps: i’m the author of it, a lot of questions have already been answered before complaining about it (happy reading :D)

Thanks.

so you can really do it?
setup all your IR devices from ewelink and pull it to HA?

I’m afraid I might’ve slightly misunderstood your current setup and the problem you are trying to fix.

The mentioned component above is able to control eWeLink capable switch devices (for now) using the original firmware, therefore you might not need broadlink as a bridge to control them.

Give us a few more details and maybe I or someone else will be able to help.

sorry . my bad.
i was thinking about "e control ". the app for broadlink.
but it’s so good to know that you can use sonoff devices without
flashing them to “Tasmota”. wow.

Thanks

Hi,
First of all thanks for the great work!

I’ve tried to follow the readme.md but my problem is that I don’t understand where I have to copy the .py files, I couldn’t find the “custom_components” folder.
I’m using Hass.IO on a rapsberry PI3.

Thanks for the help

If custom_components does not exist, you need to create it yourself under /config.

Hi Peter, great work with the Sonoff ewelink integration to Home Assistant. It was just what I was looking for as all my devices are already installed behind walls. I have followed all the instructions, I am just struggling to work out how to actually now find the devices. I am very new to all of this, so I understand it has something to do with debugging, but I don’t know how to do that. Do you have any videos that take someone through the process step by step? Or can you explain the last part of what I need to do, in layman’s terms if possible. Thanks in advance.

all the details are in the project’s readme, otherwise you might have some other errors, check the logs!
