Bridge Β· ESP32

Your Sonoff / eWeLink devices in Apple Home.

Sonoff switches work with the eWeLink app – but not with Apple Home. The HomeHome.App Bridge fixes that: our free firmware on a small ESP32 board talks to your eWeLink account and shows your devices in the Home app.

What you get

  • Control your eWeLink devices with the Home app and Siri.
  • Put each device in any room.
  • Use them in scenes and automations.
  • eWeLink keeps working too – for example to see electricity use.
  • Pair with Apple Home once. Add or remove devices later without pairing again.

No hardware is shipped. You buy the board in your own country, install our free firmware from Chrome or Edge, and switch it on with Maker Credits. New to this? Read the getting started guide β†’

Maker Credits

How many credits?

The Bridge itself uses no credits. Each device you connect to it does – add them up.

The minimum is 10 credits (USD 5.00 a month). Example: two 2x switches (4) + one thermostat (4) + one NSPanel (6) = 14 credits = USD 7.00 a month.

Setup

Set it up in 5 steps

  2. Connect it to Wi-Fi. From your phone, join the Wi-Fi network HomeHome.App (password homehome). Pick your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, type its password and your email address.
  3. Create your account. Go to bridge.homehome.app and sign up with the same email address. You can try everything free in demo mode for 24 hours.
  4. Link eWeLink. Connect your eWeLink account and choose which devices you want in Apple Home.
  5. Add it to Apple Home. Restart the board, wait 1–2 minutes, then in the Home app tap + and enter 111-88-111.

Activate before the demo ends. Buy Maker Credits and write your Gmail address in the order note (or email info@homehome.app). We add the credits and your devices keep working. You can see your devices at smart.homehome.app.
