SONOFF Wi-Fi BasicR3 Switch Actuator

Product Information

I love these devices, what I’m not 100% convinced about is the firmware. For now, the new Sonoff Basic R3 has DIY firmware for those who don’t wish to use the Sonoff Cloud.

One of the BasicR3 units is on duty controlling my hot tub pump (we don’t need the heater on in Spain in the summer, just the pump during overnight cheap rate), the other is on my bench on test after suffering a mishap (my fault). I ended up replacing the on-off PCB control button as may be obvious in the photo. If your switch is powering up but is showing a solid-blink-reset pattern see this FAQ entry for advice. Along with support for smart scenes, just set a device to turn on/off to make another or a boatload of devices turn on/off. The LAN control is designed for situations which no available Wi-Fi connection, or an unsteady Wi-Fi network environment. A convenient option that is share control is capable of allowing you to manage the same device with your family or friends together, simply share it on the eWeLink app to try.

Sonoff Basic R3 series is divided into 2 parts: the relay board and connectivity interface. The design principle isn’t 100% consistent so I decided to poke around more. 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).

Sonoff devices are very popular home-automation devices developed by a Chinese company called ITEAD. By default, they are controlled by a closed-source application developed by ITEAD–called EWeLink–that can be installed onto iOS and Android cellphones, for example, making use of cloud services. However, this makes it hard to integrate with existing home-automation servers, such as Home Assistant and OpenHAB, or to simply control the devices locally–that is, without access to the Internet. data1={“switch”: “on”,”mode”: 0,”brightness”: 50,”brightMin”:0,”brightMax”:255,”startup”: “on”,”rssi”:-67,”fwVersion”:”3.5.0”} txtvers=1”, “ id=[device ID]”, “ type=[device type]”, “ apivers=[device API interface version]”, “ seq=[TXT Record serial number]”, “ data1=[device information]”; and once the webserver stops receiving GET requests, you know that it will then start flashing the firmware onto the device’s memory.The operation failed and the request was formatted incorrectly. The request body is not a valid JSON format. The connectivity module is identical with Sonoff Basic R3. It uses ESP8582 to communicate with the Internet and the same pins are exposed for you to use: Vcc, GND, TX, RX – These are the standard GPIO pins. Get the Hostname and Port of device service via parsing out the device DNS SRV record. (The default port is 8081) This section describes how to flash the Tasmota firmware onto a Sonoff device OTA. In brief, the procedure consists of (a) putting the Sonoff device in DIY mode, (b) configuring it to access your existing wireless network, (c) using a set of GNU/Linux utilities to interact with the device’s RESTful API, (d) creating a simple webserver to serve the Tasmota firmware locally, and finally, (e) flashing the Tasmota firmware OTA. Each of those steps is explained in more detail next. Preparing the Sonoff device
