ozak btw the Sonoff uses Cloud but it once you set it, if your Internet down, and you already set the schedule, it will continue to follow the set schedule cause all the timing is inside Sonoff.

You just cant use your smartphone to trigger it

Now I know why it at cloud. That sonoff device have only 8bit of memory. Very little.

Saw that weeks back, hopefully comes out soon since they did say it'll be out after cny.
Btw, if add device in alexa group, can skip 'tell ewelink to turn on/off device' and just say 'turn on/off device' right?
Or need to wait for future update like logitech harmony app?
*
if you group the ewelink device, then u just rename the group and tell it to turn on or off will do
thats how i think it works la biggrin.gif

There is cheaper voice control, alexa echo dot. Is the voice control as good as alexa echo & able to link to broadlink like its brother?

I'm using one now and yes you can link to broadlink rm using rm tasker app.
Another is pairing broadlink rm with home assistant(can be installed on pc/mac/rpi) which can be controlled using alexa

I don't have the taller amazon echo but from the reviews it's pretty much the same except that it's missing more powerful speaker and built in battery.

I've only used option 2, so far so good and easy to setup
Maybe I'll try the bridge app later

I read some post that mention tasker is less stable & may require to reset the slept off android tv box sometimes. Do u hv this problem?

Which android tv box u use? There is many android tv @ taobao from rm100-250. Dont know which one better, coz worry the android tv turn into sleep or standby mode affect the bridge

If use pc as bridge, home assistant, pc need to turn on 24hours right?

I'm gonna try using android box this weekend, see how stable it will be
Was doing test using my hp as bridge
It's all about os I guess as long as app stays running in the background, since you only need one as bridge, no need buy box that's too expensive
Yeah, so better if you install on something that consumes low power like raspberry pi
Which I intend to try also soon, not to mention you can install android os too on rpi.
