I think i will receive my echo dot on monday. My first purchase item from US. Noob question. Can we use the power adaptor that comes with echo? Will our power supply fry the adaptor?

What i read b4 is US power supply 110volt & our power supply is 220volt

Have you considered to flash custom firmware?
That way you don't to have to depend on the cloud and just pair with home automation apps like home assistant

Can you test out your Sonoff with Alexa using Alexa app & Reverb (another alternative for Echo without the device) & add ewelink skill.
It's supposed to only work in US (or as long as you're using us address in amazon account) for now but I see other people commenting that it still works in other region.

Try liau. Cannot use. There is nothing setting in the reverb. How the Reverb can find my device?

Reverb said that it cannot work outside US and have to change store?

I ask the time, and it give me different time zone. Look like US timezone.

Do you use msia address or us address in your amazon account?

When does Reverb mention it doesn't work outside us?
Because I don't receive that error yet

Can you switch to your us apple account? Reverb might be looking for the alexa companion app.

Yup. I can download the reverb but not the alexa.

Maybe you can try again create a new us itunes account on your pc.

https://support.unblock-us.com/customer/por...-a-credit-card-

And probably install reverb from the us itunes account (uninstall reverb from msia store) just in case.

Also, once you've set up ewelink skill on alexa app
Some user suggest to remove all caps and just small letters on ewelink control to get it properly working with alexa.

There is no "None" in the pc register itunes.

And I run out of Email address to create. As the itunes don't allowed to register with gmail.

What's wrong register with gmail email ?
*
Any email is fine, I just noticed previous tutorial missing the part when you have to download/select free app before creating new account. That's probably why 'none' option didn't show up
Anyway I just pm'd you new login for us account info so you can test that out.

Do you install the rm plugin on your phone or tablet/android box?
Which is more stable more? I do notice sometimes you need to restart the rm plugin app on my phone when alexa can't detect new devices/not responding to command

No, I don't have. anyway, you can use broadlink TC1/TC2 RF switch to control lights, it doesn't need neutral line, it is best for direct replacement of current switch
*
Your TC2 switch still working so far?
I'm worried it might break down too soon, like my friend who bought one
Then I also read that the capacity is only 200W
Do you think using ceiling lights/fan utiize more than that?

Also, about using echo (alexa) with the following devices
For broadlink rm pro do you just set it up to connect directly to smartthings or need android device as hub?
Same question for the sonoff, do you install the skill on alexa app or connect directly to smartthings?

Yes, you need to get same frequency controller, which is smartthings from U.S. I'm currently using U.S frequency as it has more selection for z-wave devices
I only use it to control lights which is less than 200W, it has been running for 4 months and so far so good.

For broadlink integration, you need RM bridge Android app to bridge broadlink to smartthings, I run the RM bridge app in the andorid VM in my ubuntu NAS server.
As for sonoff, there is a guy who write the smartthings device type handler so that smartthings can directly control sonoff, but the sonoff need to flash with customized firmware.
*
So still need android for bridge? I thought it can be skipped when using with smartthings

For your TC2 switch, it does have 2 differrent commands right?
If the lights are already turned off & if you were to send off command again on the broadlink app/alexa.
Would it simply turn on the lights or it still remains off?

What you said is partially correct, it is one way signal transmit, so the hub doesn't know the status, and if someone physically switched it off, the smarthome software still detect as on, but we were talking sending the command using software, not physically switched it off. actually I don't care what status the software report, if i wanna switch it off, I just send the off command to turn off the light, even  the light is already turn off, it won't turn on.

the TC2 on/off command use different RF codes, I can confirm that because I hacked into the broadlink e-control app, and find out the RF code hex keys use by each RF commands.
*
Thanks again for the confirmation
Obviously for the on/off status needs zwave/ wifi switch (which I couldn't find for 3/4 gang)

There's a few wifi switch that I found on taobao, but alexa pairing remains unknown.

And for that I'll have to settle with broadlink tc2 until something better comes along.
