I bought a led light strip and a light…
I bought a led light strip and a light bulb from Sonoff. and I had the worst time trying to connect the bulb to the eWeLink app.
The process is very convoluted, and the steps are not communicated properly in the instruction.
You have to connect the device twice. First, you need to connect eWeLink to WiFi and then you need to connect the device using Bluetooth, which I figured after some tinkering and a great deal of frustration.
eWeLink App is also the thing that drags these products down. First of all, for some reason the app was not available in on PlayMarket in my region and I had to download an APK from the website. Not very convenient, but okay.
I tried eWeLink both on my Android and the IOS devices, and there is a major bug on IOS telling you that you have to allow the app the connect to WiFi. Such a permission DOES NOT EXIST in IOS.
You literally ask me to provide a non-existing permission, without which the app can not connect to WiFi, which renders it utterly useless.
Sonoff team, you'd be better off without this app. Create your own app or sell analogue remote controllers for your devices, because this app completely ruins user experience with your products.
Now about devices themselves, I like both the strip and the lamp, but I have a major complaint about the strip. I wanted to be able to set up static gradient with the strip, and it's impossible. You can only have moving gradient and you can't even set up your own colours for the gradient, you're stuck with the rainbow. And that was such a disappointment, you gave me all those LEDs and then you limited my creative ability to use them.
