I've just bought a twin smart light switch that doesn't need a hub but is controlled over the internet using the eWeLink app.
I'm getting a lot of ghost switching whereby the lights go on or off for no reason. It happened last night when I was out and at 3am this morning. The triggering is shown in the app log and it's happening randomly.
I am not a techie but have looked online and two theories are that it is a hardware interference issue that requires the addition of a capacitor and a resistor to create a low pass filter and the other is that it is an MQQT retain setting issue (and yes this is well beyond my pay grade!).
Now I know that I may well get a lecture that I should have bought an expensive Apple product or similar and not cheap unbranded (Woolley copy) Chinese tat but I'm sure that someone in the Flyer parish has played with these switches and may be able to tell me whether it is easily fixable or should be put in the bin (electrical recycling of course).
thanks
