Hey All,  
Sonoff/ewelink changed their API a few months back and since then the ewelink node no longer works. As far as I know the project has been abandon by the developer.

Is this dead in the water? Are my sonoff devices now bricks? Yes, I know I can flash them with tasmota but I would prefer not to.

What to do?  
Thanks  
Rich

Virtually bricks, you can connect them to Alexa, then use [Alexa remote2 nodes](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel) to turn them on and off. Some newer ewelink devices like the mini can be flashed over the air, or use DIY mode.
