Configuring WiFi Smart Light Switch in Domoticz: Missing Enable Action Info

Question

Hello. I have a problem with the configuration of domoticz.
I have purchased a light switch with wifi function which works via the company app. However, it does not in domoticz.
It seems to me that the correct information is missing at the option "enable action ". I am uploading some photos. The place I am interested in is marked in yellow. I know the Ip of the switch.
Please help. What should I do to add the switch to domoticz?

. Yes. However, what difference does it make whether you control via ewelink or via domoticz? In addition, when switching to an alternative soft. The switch is yours and yours alone and does not work in a Chinese cloud.

. Does a colleague have a Google ban? In addition to the IP the colleague needs to know the address that will trigger the action. You need to enter that address there (where you have highlighted in yellow) and there you go. However, before the and there happens, I suggest you read the first Google entry I found -> and I typed sonoff domoticz switch.

It is best to change the soft in it to Tasmota or ESPEasy.

I don't want to be spiteful because it's unnecessary, but the fact that you have to type something in is something I've figured out even without google. I even highlighted it in yellow.

By changing the software I will lose the ability to control the switch via a dedicated app????

. I don't want to be malicious because it's redundant but I searched for you this information on Google and even provided a link where everything (I point out: EVERYTHING) is described including software replacement. I don't want to be malicious but have you at least been there and read? . Yes.

In order for domoticz to function from the outside it must be redirected to an external ip. Such an ip is probably only payable. At least that is what I have heard. Without this the whole operation is only possible within the home network. All in all, it is probably such a difference that the Chinese already provide such an option. Is it possible in the first step to first save the current switch software to disk using the same method as the software swap? I would prefer to be able to possibly revert back to the state of purchase.

. There are two methods. 1) redirection 2) external server (DDNS) Chinese uses the latter method. The upshot of this is that in the event of no internet, you can neither turn the light off nor on (because the external server cannot communicate with the device). It is therefore important to operate everything locally and only use external access if necessary. Anyway, I think there is an even better method in this case. VPN on your router. . It depends on your internet provider. Most often (but not always) a fixed IP is payable but for redirection needs a public one is sufficient. . You have the differences described above. . No, there isn't. For that, I don't see any obstacles to get the same effect as the Chinese on alternative software.

Ok. I am waiting for the programmer to change the software. For the time being, I played around with an app like google home where I managed to configure the switch by adding a voice selection function (a cool tidbit). Only problem arose when I added a smart switch with temperature measurement function. The google home app does not see the temperature. Only the switch itself. Is there any function, option to make it see it?
