Hey you dont need to disasemble the switch. there ist a really easy method to add ewelink devices to openhab. just use IFTTT. Therefor you need to setup myopenhab and connect both openhab and ewelink to your IFTTT account. strong text

No, you are bound to the IFTTT triggers and I agree, it is not a good Idea to use IFTTT for that task but for most users with such a device it is currently the only way to go.

Help. how to add wifi switch?
