SONOFF Wi-Fi BasicR3 Switch Actuator

Product Information

Note: SONOFF BASICR2 does NOT have 433Mhz RF receiver module. If you want RF function, please buy SONOFF RFR2 . Documents One or more strings; No exceeded 255 bytes for each string; No exceeded 1300 bytes for the entire TXT record;

The operation failed and the device does not exist. The device does not support the requested deviceid. Fortunately, there are alternatives that require flashing a different firmware onto Sonoff devices. The Tasmota firmware, for example, is a well-known alternative that provides easy integration with existing home-automation servers and let users control devices via multiple methods, such as webUI, HTTP requests, and MQTT, all of which can be accessed either locally or remotely or both. On top of that, it is free and open-source. Traditionally, flashing a Tasmota firmware onto a Sonoff device involves finding a serial connection, soldering a few cables/pins, and connecting the device to a serial-to-USB adapter. However, more often than not, this takes time, knowledge about electronics, and soldering very small components. Long press the button for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode, then press another 5 seconds to ender Compatible Pairing Mode (AP). The LED indicator should blink continuously.ITEAD’s Sonoff Basic R3 has expanded. Apart from the WiFi version that we all know and like, there is an RF (433 MHz) and Zigbee. Since the hardware had changed as well I thought I would take each Sonoff Basic R3 apart and poke inside the modular design. Sonoff Basic R3 series 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.

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). The operation failed and the request body size is too large. The size of the new OTA firmware exceeds the firmware size limit allowed by the device. 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). The operation failed and the request parameters are invalid. For example, the device does not support setting specific device information. The relay board comes with GI-1A-5DH relay capable of 10A. The board has a couple of components removed, which confirms that the same PCB is used for every Sonoff R3 board.

HASH must be defined with the sha256sum of the intended firmware file (the .bin file) before running the curl command. The WiFi connectivity is provided thanks to ESP8285. There are DIY Mode pins that you can short to enable the DIY mode and additional pins Vcc, GND, TX, RX for you to use. These are the standard GPIO pins. When the device information is longer than 249 bytes, the first 249 bytes must be stored in data1, and the remaining bytes are divided by length 249, which are stored in data2, data3, and data4. The complete device information format is a JSON object.

The DIY Mode allows you to use the REST API to connect SONOFF BASICR3 with your existing home automation system. NAME" : "Sonoff Mini" , "GPIO" :[ 17 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 9 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 21 , 56 , 0 , 0 , 255 ], "FLAG" : 0 , "BASE" : 1 } You need to access the serial interface. The four serial pins (3V3, Rx, Tx, GND) are available in the middle of the PCB, right next to the on-board button. Newer versions of the Sonoff Basic device provide five pins below the button, ignore the pin furthest away from the Button (GPIO14 or I02) if available. The square pin right next to the button is the 3.3V line. Unlike other Sonoffs, this one comes with a CC2530 module to connect with Zigbee hubs. There is no WiFi, but CC2530 will act as a Zigbee router relaying the messages from other devices. 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.

The main voltage (AC) is separated from the circuit and in the narrower point it comes close to 2.4mm (reinforced with physical separation. Connectivity module The new version of the Sonoff Basic smart switch uses an ESP8285 SoC with the 1MB flash integrated into the same SoC chip.

I flashed TASMOTA software onto these devices the old-fashioned way with an FTDI then upgraded to the latest Tasmota release using the Tasmota OTA (over-the-air updates) facility. What I’ve not yet managed is getting the indicator lights right (feel free to step in and advise if you are familiar with putting Tasmota on these particular devices (I have one BASICR3 and one BASICR3 RF – the unit shown in the photos is the RF version – not that I actually use the RF facility as I run these on WIFI). September 25th, 2021, Update #1: Updated the curl commands to escape double quotation marks ( ") in the -d (HTTP POST data) argument. I also made other minor changes to improve command execution (e.g., setting up environmental variables for IP_SONOFF and IP_HOST), fix typos, and improve readability. Since I have the Sonoff R3 DIY mode enabled, I will show you how to get the basics done in NodeRED if you want to use that instead of actually getting the flash done.The PCB has all components soldered to it, which means that was the matrix PCB for all Sonoff R3 series. The relay board comes with GI-1A-5DH relay capable of 10A. Here’s the BasicR3 with my )not quite long enough) replacement PCB button (the white glue is theirs, not mine). See https://randomnerdtutorials.com/how-to-flash-a-custom-firmware-to-sonoff/ for more details on the pinout and FTDI. 1.1. Put Sonoff into programming mode. ¶ 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.
