Hey,
Does anyone here own any BG Electrical UK smart sockets?
I owned a couple of these a few years back, but shifted them on as Ewelink products worked really poorly with Google Home at the time and paying for multiple IFFFT applets just became pointless for the minimal use cases I had at the time.
Does anyone own any and have you tried to get them working with Homey, since the Ewelink app was added to Homey?
Very curious to know!
Yes, I’ve tried. Neither of the apps that various places claim can make these work within Homey actually work. I’m trying to get an answer from BG as to whether or not they might produce an app but I’m not holding my breath,
Are the devices not getting discovered by the eWeLink app for Homey?
Have you tried adding them as Generic device?
Hi Sven,
No, there’s no sign of them using the Ewelink app and when I tried to add one as a generic device all it did was mess up the connection to the BG app and stop it working with Alexa.
Also, they don’t appear as an option in the list of devices on the app.
Slainte,
Jim
