Espurna and Sonoff

After using many packages to control Itead Sonoffs and even enjoying success with Tasmota which has Alexa compatibility, I’ve recently had a very favourable, exciting, even) experience with Xose Perez’s multi-purpose Espurna IOT firmware on some of my Sonoff power controllers.  On the subject of Amazon Alexa, SOME of my…

Sonoff BasicR3 10A

August 20, 2019August 30, 2019 Peter Scargillsonoff, Sonoff BASIC R312 Comments on Sonoff BasicR3 10A

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…

Sonoff T1

August 24, 2017August 24, 2017 Peter Scargillsonoff, Sonoff T154 Comments on Sonoff T1

The Sonoff T1 is described as a Luxury Glass Panel Touch Wall Switch” – and indeed looking at mine – it looks very nice indeed. The wall switch comes in three varieties with 1 touch area (and one output) up to 3 touch areas (and 3 outputs). There’s a full…

The Sonoff B1

August 18, 2017 Peter Scargillsonoff, Sonoff B1, Sonoff lamp, Sonoff LED21 Comments on The Sonoff B1

The Sonoff B1 is a “white and color” ambient bulb – and one turned up for me in the most this morning! Not a lot new here you might say – and certainly, such bulbs exist yesterday. I was in Toledo in Spain at a major shopping centre and just…

Sonoff 4CH 4 Channel Mains Control

January 31, 2017 Peter Scargillitead, sonoff, sonoff 4CH68 Comments on Sonoff 4CH 4 Channel Mains Control

  A parcel turned up for me today – the Sonoff 4CH. You may recall I wrote some time ago about a smaller version they put out and I was quite scathing about the wiring. I turned out as you recall that this was a third party product and they…

More from Sonoff

December 19, 2016January 12, 2017 Peter Scargillsonoff, sonoff sc53 Comments on More from Sonoff

Today I got a couple of new(ish) gadgets from Sonoff – one being a UK version of their WIFI mains adaptor. So the point of this if you don’t know Sonoff is that their stuff is solid and inexpensive – not two words you normally find in the same sentence.…

POW, TH16 AND DUAL

November 5, 2016November 13, 2016 Peter ScargillESP8266, itead, sonoff46 Comments on POW, TH16 AND DUAL

Ok, this entry will be in 2 parts – I’ll do some digging soon – but as I’ve had several requests for this… So what you’re looking at above are the Sonoff Pow, TH16 and DUAL mains controllers. These are ESP8266-based low cost controllers to turn things on and off.…

A Quickie on Itead and CE

October 22, 2016 Peter Scargillalexa, Amazon, Dot, sonoff9 Comments on A Quickie on Itead and CE

I recall a couple of questions in earlier blogs about Itead (Sonoff) and CE. Well, they’ve just written to me to confirm that “CE marking on Sonoff products does mean Conformity European, not China Export.” which should set some minds at ease – they also sent me the test reports.…

Sonoff TH10 and TH16

You will have seen me write about the excellent Sonoff ESP8266-controlled mains relay switching devices in the past and I went into great detail as to how to program them using the HC2016 software, the only caveat being they don’t have enough FLASH memory for OTA (well, not with my…

WIFI Smart Socket

July 18, 2016 Peter Scargillitead, sonoff, wall socket, wifi wall socket36 Comments on WIFI Smart Socket

It looks like Itead have done it again – another winner – well that’s all down to the price and I’ll leave you to look that one up…the site says £9.76 for the unit which is reasonable – but I didn’t check postage. The first modern WIFI wall socket I…

32Mb ESP01 and Sonoff

July 6, 2016July 11, 2016 Peter ScargillESP-01, sonoff68 Comments on 32Mb ESP01 and Sonoff

Some time ago I passed comment in here about converting an ESP-01 to 32Mb  (or 4MB).  And here it is in the flesh – a 32Mb ESP-01 – and also – at last – Sonoff Upgrades. Now, why would you want to do all of that? I would suggest only…

Cheapest IOT on the Planet

June 16, 2016June 16, 2016 Peter Scargillsonoff57 Comments on Cheapest IOT on the Planet

You’ve seen me writing about SONOFF before, several times – and you’ll see it again – but today I’m writing about one thing (for now) – “MUCH CHEAPNESS” to quote a last-century holiday advert. I would be very much surprised if the Sonoff WIFI is NOT the cheapest WIFI mains…
