Sonoff may be a device that can be utilized in your home to add keen switching to your devices. You'll select between the essential and mini varieties, but both work in the same way. The only difference is that the Sonoff mini has the included ability to include an on/off switch to allow you a two-way switching control. This way, a regular switch can work with smart control.

With Sonoff, one of the ways you can add smart control in your home is by connecting it to lights in different rooms. This is done while still ensuring you can use your light switches regularly at times when you do not need to use the smart control. Regardless of the state of the switch, toggling it will still turn the lights on or off as expected. This is the same with smart control.

Sonoff smart control is controlled through the eWeLink app. It works seamlessly and easily connects to a Wi-Fi connection. You can add this device to your Amazon Echo too.

Features of Sonoff eWeLink app

The eWeLink app comes with various astonishing features. Among them is the ability of this app to set a normal timer, schedules, and indeed interactions with the IFTTT service. This way, you'll be able to perform different functions, such as triggering the switch with an overhead ISS.

Another exciting feature of the app is the LAN access. This means that smart control can work independently of cloud service. This solves a commonly reported problem when using an unstable Wi-Fi connection.

The app also comes with a DIY mode. This is aimed at developers as it provides REST API for the control of devices directly. This can be enabled by attaching a jumper inside the casing.
