Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please note that it is required to unlock your iPhone to control eWeLink devices via Siri from
the new version out of the concerns of privacy and security. For some users who haven't
taught Siri their voices, their Siri can be awakened by anyone, which will pose a security
threat.
Dear Jewel Deng
Thanks for your reply
Maybe can let user change the setting ? The unlock step really bother me.
Thanks !

I will forward your suggestion for our tech team's consideration.
Please note that unlocking the iphone's screen is no longer required to control devices with Siri.
Tap 'add' in scene tap CANNOT find shared device by others.
How can I let shared accounts add scenes to their Siri
When I try siri say: it looks like you dont have settings of any Homekit devices, what the solution for that
