Controlling eWeLink devices with actions
For devices that support actions, you can create eWeLink Actions in your logicblocks:
- Switches and plugs: Turn on/off (each channel individually for multi-channel devices)
- Lights: Turn on/off, set brightness (0-100%), set color temperature (0-100%)
- Fans: Turn fan on/off, set fan speed (low/medium/high), turn light on/off
- Diffusers: Turn on/off, set fan speed (low/high), turn light on/off
To create an eWeLink action:
- Open a logicblock and go to the Actions section
- Click the eWeLink button to add a new eWeLink action
- Select the device you want to control
- Choose the action type (e.g., Turn On/Off, Set Brightness)
- Set the value for the action
Tip: You can use Apilio variables in the action value field. This allows you to create dynamic automations - for example, setting the brightness based on a variable.
How to disconnect
