I have 5 Sonoff switches and 19 efamilycloud plugs All Alexa control.
I have had the same nightmare problems connecting the switches
but the plug is connected no problem
I also have 7 x IP cameras (port forwarding setup) And have had a nightmare to set these up to the hub4 also.
It is as though the Router gets overloaded giving out internal ip’s DHCP
I also had to disable auto and manually set 2.4 GHz to channel 1
In the end I have had to buy an {Access Point} and plug that into the hub4 ethernet port
Using the access point I created a new Wi-Fi SSID name just for my Sonoff Switches
This worked. But it has been a nightmare to set up my Alexa controlled house.
Changing from hub 3 to the hub 4 allotted me a new ISP WAN IP address
I don’t know if this new IP address has anything to do with the problems.
