Sonoff pow elite home assistant pow r3

I love the sonoff HACS integration, the local lan settings are amazing…

recently i had to replace an old pow r2 with the newer version: pow r3 elite.
the unit works great, but apparently, does not support local lan mode.
furthermore, it does not appear on the list in the integration page on hacs.
i love @AlexxIT work, as that guy is awesome, and if anyone can share any knowledge about how to implement the newer models into “lan mode” (maybe with the apikey, or deviceid as mentioned on the hacs integration page - that will be amazing.
if it cant be done with this model (pow R3 elite) for some reason (as i know there are other products that do not work in lan mode), i’d love some suggestions for a 16amp (about 3000 watts coffee machine) replacement switch.

PS
the unit does appear in “lan” mode, and actually reports well status; current; etc, but does not operate the main “on/off” switch functions for me.

cheers

How is it going, any news?
Is it working as it should exept the lan mode?

Thanks
Ole

hey man
no news on this yet im afraid. mine still does not work in lan mode, only in “auto” or “cloud” mode.
other than that, works fine.
