4. Setup

4.1 Network Requirements

  • The module supports 2.4GHz WiFi networks only. It does not support 5GHz WiFi.
  • If your router has a dual-band network with the same SSID, disable the 5GHz band or create a separate SSID for the 2.4GHz band during the pairing process.
  • Ensure your smartphone and the relay module are connected to the same 2.4GHz WiFi network during pairing.
  • Avoid using special characters in your WiFi SSID or password, as this may prevent the eWeLink app from finding your network. Use standard alphanumeric characters.

4.2 Wiring the Module

The relay module acts as a switch. The power input (DC 5V or AC/DC 7-32V) is solely for powering the module's internal PCBA. The relay contacts (NC, COM, NO) are voltage-free and are used to switch the external device's power circuit.

  1. Power Input: Connect your chosen power source (DC 5V via USB or AC/DC 7-32V to the designated terminals) to power the module. Refer to Figure 1 for terminal locations.
  2. Device Connection: Connect the device you wish to control to the relay terminals (NC, COM, NO) according to your application's requirements.

4.3 eWeLink App Installation

  1. Download the eWeLink app from the Google Play Store (for Android) or Apple App Store (for iOS).
  2. Register an account and log in.

4.4 Device Pairing

  1. Ensure the module is powered on and within range of your 2.4GHz WiFi network.
  2. Open the eWeLink app and tap the '+' icon to add a new device.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions in the app. You may need to press and hold the 'APP Pairing button' on the module (refer to Figure 1) until the APP matched indicator light blinks in a specific pattern, indicating it's in pairing mode.
  4. Once paired, the device will appear in your eWeLink app.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Operating Modes

The module supports two main operating modes, configurable within the eWeLink app:

  • Self-locking Mode: In this mode, the relay acts as a standard toggle switch. One command turns the device ON, and another command turns it OFF. This is suitable for applications like controlling lights or power supplies.
  • Inching Mode (Momentary): In this mode, the relay activates for a brief, configurable duration (e.g., 1 second) and then automatically deactivates. This is ideal for applications requiring a momentary pulse, such as garage door openers, PC power buttons, or access control systems.

5.2 Remote Control via eWeLink App

After successful pairing, you can control your device using the eWeLink app:

  • ON/OFF Control: Tap the device icon in the app to toggle its state.
  • Timing Schedules: Set up one-time, repeating, or countdown timers to automate device operation.
  • Device Sharing: Share control of the device with other eWeLink users.
  • Group Management: Organize multiple devices into groups for simultaneous control.
  • Scene Automation: Create smart scenes where the module's state changes based on triggers like temperature, humidity, or other smart devices.

5.3 Voice Control (Alexa/Google Home)

To enable voice control:

  1. Ensure your eWeLink account is linked to your Amazon Alexa or Google Home account through their respective apps.
  2. Discover new devices in your Alexa or Google Home app.
  3. Once discovered, you can use voice commands such as "Alexa, turn on [device name]" or "Hey Google, turn off [device name]".

5.4 Application Examples
