    So is a Google Home device needed? I can't get anywhere with just the Home app on the phone.

    Think that seems to be it @SBS. Same scenario for me on both my phone's. No option in the GH menu to add Home Control or Home Control devices. Here's a screenshot from my phone, assume you're us the same?

    I've the same problem as I don't have a Home device and the only way I could add anything was to say "OK Google" the say "Open Home Control Settings" and you get an option to select Settings. Open that and you can add devices, have used it for adding Hue and other Sonoff Plugs I have.

    Random Google search, maybe this helps?

    You need to open the Google app not the Google home app on your phone.

    How did you do that? Does it not have a manual switch?

    Tried this approach. When I get to settings I see devices, only device showing is my phone, don't see any way to add other devices ...

    *Update* above was on a work phone. Tried on different phone (same Google account, same WiFi, same eWeLink, same Sonoff plugs) and could see Home Control.

    Now all installed but not on work phone. Msybe there is a work account restriction or something.

    Thanks all for your help

    Yep it does but I just leave the kettle switched on and the sonoff off, added the sonoff to google home control and changed its nickname to Kettle, then just say OK google turn on the kettle :)

    Its there on one of my phones not on the other. Have it working now on my personal phonr but still not visible on work phone for whatever reason. Both Android, same wifi network, same Google account, same Sonoff devices. EWeLink works exactly the same on both. Weird.

    Seeing the list of devices now, thanks for the pointers.

    I wasn't seeing the icon in the video either so Del2005's suggestion worked for me:
    " "OK Google" then say "Open Home Control Settings" "

    The device you're looking for is "smart we" - I was looking for sonoff and finding nothing.

    Android 6 (marshmallow) or higher required.



    The missus reckons I'm entirely too easily amused, wandering around the house shouting at my bedside lamp to turn on and off.

    Anyone concerned about the permissions required by the app?

    I think I might look into different firmware.

    Will use them for Christmas lights this year plus for tea/coffee maker in the mornings, not sure what else yet.

    Good for lamps I suppose or TV maybe?

    Just wondering would an electric kettle or a toaster be too big of a strain on these plugs.

    Check the wattage of those, the switch has maximum rating of 2200 watts.

    I asked about this and apparently you can do it from anywhere once you have internet on your phone.

    Anyone else still waiting on theirs?

    Ordered the 16th (like most on here) Sing post trackingv says landed here august 30th.

    The tracking system is a bit crap if the truth be known.

    Got three yesterday. Still waiting for two more. SingPost still says waiting to dispatch. Ordered on the 16th.
    The three I got, I ordered on the 17th. They were shipped by BEEXPHQ (which seems to be China Post) rather than SingPost.
    EDIT: BEEXPHQ seems to be a China wing of Belgian Post.

    Be careful, i re-ordered with a new account and paypal

    I used the coupon code twice a few weeks back on the first account


    I setup a new account and put two 2 in the basket and applied the coupon code to bring it down to £12

    After you proceed to checkout with paypal on the phone ,for some reason you get kicked back to the website for the final payment and applying the D coins

    I applied the D coins to bring it down to £10.xx ,i had the discount and the coins and the final payment on the screen ,i clicked on pay now the total was 10.xx and straightaway popped up revolut payment notification for £21.xx

    I setup 2 tickets straightaway to get cancelled but the order has now been shipped out in less than 4 hours,the 2 tickets are still being processed

    Same thing happened to me, only with a PayPal payment. Got onto their online customer service straight away and was told to create a ticket. Items are showing as shipped now.


    Edit: Just had a reply on my support ticket. Item has been shipped and there is nothing that they can do to cancel/edit the order.

    If you paid by PayPal, get on to them about it, should be able to initiate a refund for the overcharge or failing that a return/refund at no expense to you.
