    This is my first post on the forum so first of all, good morning, welcome.
    Recently I had a touch-sensitive light switch installed, it works via wifi (via the eWelink app) and radio via remote control (I don't really care about that). I have a single switch and a double switch. And it is with the single one that there is a problem of the type that sometimes the light turns on by itself - not non-stop, but nevertheless it is a nuisance. I suspect that someone nearby opening the car simultaneously sends a signal to my switch (maybe I'm wrong - I don't know). Do you have any idea if it is possible to disable the remote control, or to solve this somehow? With dual switches I have no problems.
    I am attaching a photo of the switch.
    Greetings D.

    Where do you have that light? What is it illuminating for you?

    This is a light switch in the room. It turns on the ceiling lamp.

    I have the same problem. "B-Line" switch paired with remote control only. This happens on one circuit (I have 3)

    A faulty switch, incorrect connection, problems with N, poor WiFi coverage.... There are many possibilities - you need to check them.
    It is worth starting by looking at the logs - there may be the answer.
    Helpful post? Buy me a coffee.

    I replaced with the same switch only from qtouch company (probably the same Chinese company makes it) but so far it works flawlessly. From this it comes out that it is not the fault of the installation but the switch itself.

    Sounds like you didn't install the capacitor/adapter at the receiver.

    I have the same problem. Immediately after installing wi-fi switches, controlled via the "eWeLink" app (two single, one double and one triple) the lights started turning on and off by themselves.... He installed an electrician, put capacitors.... I wrote to the manufacturer. They told to take pictures of the connections. I did, sent, received a reply to dismantle and send them for warranty switches because they are probably defective.... in front of me an absurd choice: send back all the switches from the apartment and deprive myself for the time of consideration/repair of light switches???? After that clearly the switches probably got scared because a few months there was peace. Since yesterday, it's been disco again. Lights turn on and off throughout the apartment, several times a minute. You can't bathe normally, read, write, because suddenly it gets dark, the lights turn off by themselves when and how they want.... DRAMAT!!!!! Can anyone solve the problem? PLEASE HELP!!!!! p.korupka(at)wp.pl

    Maybe try using without pairing with WiFi and adding to the Ewelink app? They should work on/off without the smart function. You will eliminate problems with the network and ewelink app. This will give you a basis for further steps to eliminate the problem.
    It could be that the switch loses the wifi connection and when restored goes into the default OFF state?

    I bought 5 sonoff touchEu that year, they all go crazy, the solution is to add a resistor and capacitor. Type in Google sonoff ghost switching

    "apas" can you give the parameters of the resistor and capacitor you write about?

    Hello, in my case the problem of the light turning on was a glass panel that was ill-fitting; after removing the glass, the problem disappeared. It is possible that something when screwing the switch to the wall went crooked.
    Check at your place.

    At my place is also similar, all day nothing and before 24 hours the light turns on by itself every now and then, and so until morning, until I had to unscrew the bulbs 😅 I read and the problem turned out to be a little too tightened switch fixture, and a little loosened the screws and it is ok, only the strangest thing is that why it always started to go crazy at night and during the day it was ok? 🤔

    I had the same problem and, as someone else wrote, I dismantled the panel, loosened a bit of the screws with which the switch was bolted to the wall and it helped.

    because when it's night at our place , elsewhere it's day . People there go to work and fiddling with buttons to see if you can already control the "modern" man even in the loo .

    Good day, at my place is that I have two light switches several years already worked correctly. I didn't even know that such miracles could occur with them. I recently reconfigured the router and a new wifi network and it has since started. They often turn on by themselves, and I should add that I didn't move the switches on the walls at all. They turn on even when not connected to wifi and configured with the app. I am looking for help on this topic.

    At my place identical situation. Did you manage to solve it somehow?

    Unfortunately, no. Sometimes there is a moment of peace and then they turn on themselves again :( . I am also waiting, maybe someone managed to remedy this.

    I recently bought 1-2-3 gang and stair WiFi switches from UBARO CHINA, and when the switches are connected to the router, they turn on/off by themselves. When I turned off the router, the problem was solved. Now I think the board doesn't have noise filtering because I have a 3 gang switch from another brand that works properly. Is there any solution?
    The stair switch is okay, but the problem is only with the 1-2-3 gang switch.
    I also changed the router, and it was better, but it still turns on/off sometimes.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around issues with touch-sensitive light switches that activate unintentionally, particularly those controlled via the eWelink app and radio remote. Users report similar problems where lights turn on and off by themselves, often linked to faulty switches, incorrect installations, or interference from nearby devices. Suggestions for troubleshooting include checking installation connections, using capacitors and resistors to mitigate ghost switching, and testing the switches without WiFi connectivity. Some users have successfully resolved the issue by adjusting the physical installation of the switches or replacing them with different brands. The problem appears to be prevalent among various models, particularly those from Sonoff and UBARO.
