SONOFF Wi-Fi BasicR3 Switch Actuator

Product Information

Gosund have recently confirmed that their current units will NOT support MQTT – and that they’d have to do some redesigning (I don’t understand why an OTA upgrade could not do that, personally)… No matter what, the Sonoff entry-level WIFI power control units are just cheaper than every one elses – it’s that simple. If only they’d all take MQTT as seriously a people like Arendst (Tasmota) and myself who have made replacement firmware for such boards. There are other good examples out there. However, the R3 is an improvement over previous similar controllers.

Supply USB power to Sonoff via FTDI (e.g. plug in USB to the FTDI, or use a power switch as explained in link above).Ensure the connections on the PCB starts at the closed to the toggle pin, it uses 4 pins, but 5 pins are soldered on.

Tuy nhiên, nếu bạn có nhu cầu thì có thể xem xét sử dụng Sonoff RFR3 - một phiên bản tương ứng với Basic R3 nhưng có thêm tính năng điều khiển qua sóng vô tuyến RF 433. Usable GPIO: - GPIO14 is broken out on the PCB adjacent to the GND pin. - GPIO13 - You must remove the bi-colour LED - GPIO04 - You must solder wire to pin on ESP chip Official Sources ~

HASH must be defined with the sha256sum of the intended firmware file (the .bin file) before running the curl command. Sonoff R3 DIY mode is disappointing. The clunky implementation, unreliable ways of updating the firmware and inability to use the eWeLink app alongside the REST API makes this mode hard to recommend over flashing Tasmota or AFE Firmware. Besides CE, FCC and RoHS certified, BASICR2 is also compliant with safety standards, having been tested and ETL certified by the authority, no need to worry about its quality and safety, If you want to learn about more detailed info for the safety and performance improvement of BASICR2 , please view the user inform letter here. Here’s the BasicR3 with my )not quite long enough) replacement PCB button (the white glue is theirs, not mine). GPIO02 as a user configurable input is implemented in the Sonoff Basic module (introduced in 6.3.0.15). If you use GPIO03, you must use a device template (rather than selecting the Sonoff Basic module), and also disable serial logging ( SerialLog 0).

Success!

I’m currently blogging about the more expensive 16A Shelly One power controller and already this summer I’ve written about the Gosund units, but regular readers will be aware that I’m a long-term fan of Sonoff and their various low cost controllers. My most recent acquisition is a pair of Sonoff BasicR3 Power Controllers and I now have a pair of Sonoff Minis on the way. To get the information, submit the payload to the URL: http://192.168.1.12:8081/zeroconfig/info {"deviceid": "yourdeviceid", "data":{}}; The device publishes its own service (i.e. device capability) according to the mDNS/DNS-SD standard discovery protocol when the device is connected to LAN (Local Area Network). Meanwhile, Itead continue to claim 10 amps capability, I continue to state that this means 10 amps non-inductive load and that you should not try to control a 10 amp inductive heater. Consult an electrician if in doubt. The claims for current capacity are not exlusive to Sonoff, Shelly claim 16 amps for their unit and again that should be considered 16 amps DC, if using an inductive load, the maximum should be lower by several percent.
