i had some trouble to pair this device, and found out that the router must be also in wifi (b) mode. So it must be in b/g/n mode and not only g/n. otherwise the DW2 will not pair!!
Hello, do you know if this Door Sensor, which is Wi-Fi, can trigger Alexa routines? I am positive that same can be done with its Zigbee alternative. I have added mine (Wi-Fi) to Alexa and created my routine. When I manually push the button to trigger the routine, the routine works fine. But automatically same cannot be done.. Can you please help?!
Szia! DW2 szenzort lehet resetelni? Ugyanis kitöröltem az alkalmazásból az eszközt, de azóta nem tudom visszarakni. Sem wifin, sem bluetooth nem érhető el. Van valami ötleted?
Can I have the notification alert only during night time.. like I need to receive notifications only at a specific time period. How to do this configuration??
Szia. Azt szeretném kérsezni, hogy mennyire kell eltávolodni a két részének egymástól hogy érzékelje. Azért kérdezném mert a nagyobb részét beletenném egy kötődobozba, mert kint lenne használva és nem tudom hogy működni fog-e.
Fuuu, azt irja hogy a res a ket egyseg kozott max 5mm legyen. A kis dobozban csak egy magnes van, szerintem a tavolsagot novelheted egy erosebb magnessel es akkor mukodni fog.
Üdv! Az értesítéseket (push notification) akkor is megkapom ha nem vagyok otthon? Illetve be lehet-e olyat állítani hogy email-ben is kapjak értesítést a kinyílt vagy becsukódott ajtóról?
When I installed and started testing the unit, I also gone through the first set of batteries fast. And at one point I have done something stupid (I don't remeber) and I broke my unit. So I have no long term experience.
if the device is not connected for some reason as : wifi off , power line off , battery down or something like this can i get a status about throug push notification ? does exits also a log file internal the device with a cronology ?
Hello mate!I need your advice with something.Can I use this sensors in order to close the AC unit , whenever the doors/windows are opened?I'm using sensibo sky in order to control the AC unit ,that is part of Google home sistem.I really appreciate it if you advice me how to do it!! I'm new with tech.Cheers
I think you can with a bit of trick. eWelink and Sensibo should talk via IFTTT. Your eWelink account needs to be upgraded to a premium account and after that you can set up a rule in IFTTT that if the DW2 unit senses window opening, it turns off the AC via Sensibo. This premium account if new for me, I have not actually tested in before.

Hi and thanks for sharing! Do you think I could create an scene to enter home and let music plays in any Google home device, for example? I have created scenes in Google Home with music playing after saying a sentence, but donnow if this sonoff device (compatible with Google home) will be able to be mixed in any scene. Thanks!

Hello Varga, I have bought multiple sonoff dw2 devices and I haven’t been able to connect any of those. I get the error code 6304 - what ever that stands for. I have tried connecting them through my iPhone, my iPad and an android phone. All with the same disappointing result. I find the devices in the ewelink Bluetooth list, but after it tries to connect to the WiFi it bails our after just 20 sec with that error code (6304). Since I can’t set the device to compatible mode, which usually works around every problem with sonoff, I really don’t know what to do. So you have any tips or ideas on what the problem can be?
I bought two of the dw2 devices, from different suppliers, and neither one will pair with the network. The eWeLink app finds the devices through Bluetooth but cannot pair them to the network (even using 2.4 GHz b and channel 6 as suggested by others). I have many other Sonoff devices that work just fine.
I have spoken to Ewelink now about this and they have confirmed that their is something wrong with the firmware. And they are working on it. But I still don’t get how that new firmware will help me since I can’t connect the devices anyway.
hali! gondolkozom ezeken. egyelőre szerintem jobb a 433 vagy zigbee + gateway. esetleg találtál már fw csere megoldást hozzá? gondolkozok a cserén, de kéne nekem az mqtt. mondjuk az üzemidő is eléggé karcsú sajnos...

@@andraskarolyi6919 A feszültség nem számít, hanem az elem kapacitása. És a két AAs ceruzában még így is több energia van mint egy 12V-os sokkal kisebb elemben. Ennyi jön ki a wifiből. Ezért van 433, wifi meg zigbee verzió is, mindenki azt választja ami neki a legjobb. Ehhez nem kell hub, így ha 1-2 kell csak belőle akkor olcsóbb.
Good question. Test with your phone. If your phone just had minimal wifi (like a single dot), DW2 will probably not work. Anything more and most probably the DW2 will connect as well.
Thanks for this interesting video, please could you tell me if this will work as a stand alone device together with my wifi router without the need for anything else?
Nice video, but what is the advantage compared with the Aquara Zigbee Sensors? The battery-life in the Zigbee Sensors is 2 years and not 2 month and they are very smaller.
Which one is better? SONOFF DW2 or Sonoff Zigbee SNZB-04 ??? I have a SONOFF DW2 I know this and so far it has worked flawlessly (I bought it a month ago). And I also have a Sonoff Zigbee Bridge.
To be honest, I don't see a difference between the two. Functionality is the same. I do not have a full lifecycle test, but I would assume that the DW2 will go through the batteries much more quickly. Zigbee sensor may reach to places where your wifi is too weak. But that is pretty much all.
@@hvili79 I don't know, I don't have them long enough to see. I think Sonoff quoted 5-6 month in regular use. So that may go down to 3-4 month is it is a high traffic area. Probably no wonder the DW2 uses two AAA batteries, and the Zigbee module a tiny coin cell battery. It will not be that bad, but wifi technology is more power hungry.
@@marcmo I have consulted the customer service of sonoff, they said this is a bug, they will solve this problem in the next firmware version（hope they will...）

One problem is that the response time of the device is random. Can vary from a few seconds to over a minute.
Ah I did not notice that. For me it was slow, but more like in the few to 10 seconds.
The notification doesn't work anymore only if you pay... Is there any other app you can use it with and that gives you a notification?
