Added note indicating a change in the hardware making the use of ESPhome impossible. Link to further information added.

Brief description of the changes

Added link to description of newer hardware -incompatible with ESPhome- on this device.

Type of changes

  • New device (a single device only — one device per pull request)
  • Update existing device
  • Removing a device
  • General cleanup
  • Other

Checklist:

The rules below are enforced in CI by npm run validate-devices and npm run validate-yaml. The full reference is at Configuration YAML files.

  • Adding a new device adds a single device only — one device per pull request.
  • Each example yaml lives in its own .yaml file alongside index.md and is pulled into the page with a fenced block of the form ```yaml file=<name>.yaml — no inline yaml on added or modified pages.
  • The first file= fence on the page references config.yaml.
  • config.yaml is hardware-only: no top-level api:, ota:, mqtt:, web_server:, web_server_idf:, improv_serial:, captive_portal:, bluetooth_proxy:, or dashboard_import:, and no platform: homeassistant, platform: mqtt, or platform: template anywhere in the tree.
  • If config.yaml has a wifi: block, it contains only radio tunables (country, power_save_mode, output_power, …) — no ssid, password, networks, manual_ip, eap, or use_address. An empty ap: block is allowed.
  • No passwords (literal or !secret) on password:, *_password:, or psk: keys, and no !secret references anywhere in any example yaml.
  • For pages with made-for-esphome: true in frontmatter: at least one ```yaml url=… fence points at a .yaml file in the manufacturer's GitHub repo (github.com/<owner>/<repo>/(blob|raw)/<ref>/<path>.yaml or the raw.githubusercontent.com equivalent) so the rendered page shows the upstream config live.

Pull request overview

Updates the device documentation for the eWelink 5V/12V Inching Relay to warn readers that newer hardware revisions are no longer ESP-based and therefore cannot run ESPHome.

Changes:

  • Adds an “IMPORTANT” note describing the newer Bouffalo-based variant (e.g., BL602 / EWL-B04) and ESPHome incompatibility.
  • Links to an external thread with more details on the hardware change and alternatives.
