OpenBeken DS-101JL 3-Gang Switch: Alexa Integration, Wemo Limitations & Hue Emulation

I have successfully openbekened a DS-101JL 3-Gang Switch.
https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/topic3978184.html

I wanted to integrate with Alexa.

Added following startup commands :


Tried to integrate with Alexa. Alexa detects a single device.

And only Switch one can be controlled via Alexa.

Is this a limitation of Wemo that only one friendly name for one IP address?

If so, is it possible to implement Hue Emulation like in Tasmota where there can be multiple friendly names, therefore multiple devices within a single IP address?

Tasmota does support multiple swithes:

You are correct. The multiple wemo integration is on the TODO list. I was going to do it some time ago, but my tester with Alexa was not available. Do you have some free time and are you willing to test if it works (most likely several times) and potentially help debug issues with that? The Wemo protocol is known, but I don't have Alexa myself so I don't really know how to test it myself.

Certainly I would like to help with testing. I have access to an Echo Dot.

As a workaround to make the 3-gang switch fully controllable from Alexa, I did the following:

1. Switch 1 could be directly integrated with Alexa using Wemo driver (StartDriver Wemo)

2. Used a smart plug running Tasmota with Hue Bridge Multiple Device Emulation

a. Defined two Dummy Relays using spare GPIOs.
b. They appear in Hue emulation page and gave some names



Now the additional two devices can be discovered in Alexa.

On Tasmota device, using scripting language, detected the POWER status of these Dummy Relays and triggered MQTT publish commands towards OpenBK 3-Gang switch for switch2 and switch3.

So until Wemo Multi Device Driver is implemented I have a working setup for the 3-gang switch.

Hi, has there been any progress with adding the option for hue emulation like Tasmota? If any testing is needed, I can help.

any progress on this please?

No news about wemo multiple device?
