# eWeLink-Remote Sub-Devices

You can transform the CUBE OS into an eWeLink Remote Gateway, allowing integration of sub-devices like the [**S-MATE 2**](https://sonoff.tech/en-us/products/sonoff-s-mate-extreme-switch-mate/58) **or** [**R5**](https://sonoff.tech/en-us/products/sonoff-switchman-r5-scene-controller/58).

{% endstepper %}

## 3. Configure Smart Scenes for eWeLink-Remote Sub-Devices

After adding your eWeLink-Remote sub-device, you can link it to other smart devices through **Smart Scenes**.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to the **Scene** page.

<figure><img src="/files/gSFda5iDYRukW6G19mtt" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Under the **Smart Scene** tab, click **Add Scene**.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/W3239AN1rT3Rbf0ZEq91" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Set up the **If** condition:

**Add Smart Device → SONOFF R5 → Enable Wireless Button → Channel 1 → Click → Done.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Set up the **Then** action:

**Add Smart Device → SONOFF B05-BL → Enable Switch → On → Done.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Save your Smart Scene.

<figure><img src="/files/05UoyTI5sGZnwP8elbLa" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
