Since December 17th eWelink started to support linking to Samsung’s SmartThings. At first the linking process was unclear but later on became more clear. Then people started wondering which exact products are supported. eWeLink has published a list with examples of devices that are supported for the SmartThings integration.
Supported categories of devices
In general the following categories of devices are supported to use within SmartThings:
- Outlets (smart plugs and sockets)
- Switches / dimmers (mostly on / off devices)
- Lighting
- Open / closed sensor
Outlets
The outlets category is a wide range of smart plugs and sockets. Examples given by eWeLink are the Sonoff S26, Sonoff S20 and Sonoff S55. But several C338 smart plugs of several brands are also known to work with SmartThings.
eWeLink also states that power measurement devices are also supported such as the Sonoff POW, Sonoff POWR2, and the Sonoff S31. From our own experience also the SA-001 of different brands is supported. It seems that only the on / off feature of these devices is supported.
Random products for categories Plugs, Outlets and Power Consumption Meters
Sonoff S20 (discontinued)
- This product is discontinued by Sonoff. Only the US/EU(E)/CN variants will remain available as long as stock lasts.
- Many different plug types (EU/US/UK/CN/AU)
- Basic look: a bit bulky.
- Bright led ring (not advisable to use in a bedroom).
Sonoff DUALR3
- Can be easily built into a switch box behind a normal switch.
- 2-gang
- 2 inputs: 2x 2-way possible
- Can be used in many ways. E.g. as motor controller for blinds, curtains,roller shutters, awnings, etc. But also for lights, switching a device on or off, etc.
- Can measure / monitor power consumption for both gangs
Timethinker SA-001
Switches / dimmers
This category mostly contains on / off devices. Examples given by eWeLink are 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-gang devices such as the Sonoff 4CHR2/PROR2, Sonoff MINI, Sonoff TX and the Sonoff BASICR2. Also switches with temperature and humidity measurement like the Sonoff TH10 and TH16 are mentioned although we have doubts whether it shows the measured values. We don’t own a TH10 or TH16 ourselves and can’t confirm or deny whether displaying the measurement values works.
