Multi Channel Devices

Ben edited this page Apr 27, 2021 · 19 revisions

By default, each channel of a multi-channel device will appear in Homebridge as a single switch. You can use the Home app to change how this accessory appears:

  • a switch (by default, useful for devices like the Sonoff 4CH)
  • a light (useful for devices like the T1-2C/3C, TX-2C/3C)
  • a fan

An extra accessory will also be added to Homebridge which acts as an "All On/Off", similar to the functionality of the eWeLink app. Some users may know this accessory as the "SW0" accessory. This accessory will show as

  • ON if any of it's channels are on, and turning it off will turn all of it's channels off
  • OFF if all it's channels are off, and turning it on will turn all of it's channels on

Hiding Channels

It is possible to hide both the "All On/Off" accessory and any other channel accessory from Homebridge. You can do this through the plugin settings, please see the configuration.

⚠️ If you hide any channel using the above method then it will not be available to be used in any HomeKit automation.
