The post Blink! Blink! SONOFF Product is “Talking” to You appeared first on SONOFF Official.

let’s call the first version of the DIY mode as Edition 1.0, as some of home-automation community members known, when the device was switched into DIY mode, it connected with a specfic WiFi network which is defined by SONOFF, the device WiFi configuration setting can be changed via the tool from Github. Now! SONOFF develops DIY mode 2.0 which is much easier and faster to switch into DIY mode and set up the device.

Let’s check it out and see how easy and speedy to set up a DIY mode device in minutes!

The way to switch into DIY mode of the new version (2.0) is totally different with the 1.0 one. No enclosure disassembly and jumper plug-in is needed, in DIY mode 2.0, long pressing the pairing button for seconds leads device switch into Compatiable Pairing Mode (AP) which set the device as Access Point. A hotspot of the Access Point can be found in the name of ITEAD-XXXXXXX (password: 12345678), connect it!

A web page for the configuration of WIFi network that the device will connected with is stored in DIY mode device which can be accessed by the URL of http://10.10.7.1/ as below shown, after configuring the SSID and Password, the device will reboot and connect with the WiFi network that just entered.

With a successful WiFi network connection, the device will be blinking in this way as below shown. Device IP address appears in the router management dashboard.

Wow, The device is under your control now!

As you can check the REST API protocol from SONOFF website developer page, the capability includes ON&OFF Switch, Power-On State, Inching, network SSID and password reset, signal strength，retrieve device info etc.

Let’s try to control the SONOFF device ^[1] with ON&OFF, Inching and retrieve device info via Postman application. As we known from the developer page of DIY mode protocol, ON&OFF control is defined by sending a HTTP request to the URL of http://[ip]:[port]/zeroconf/switch,

{ 
    "deviceid": "", 
    "data": {
        "switch": "on" 
    } 
 }

Here is the demo of ON&OFF in Postman:

The inching function is available to be controlled via the request as below

URL: http://[ip]:[port]/zeroconf/pulse

{ 
    "deviceid": "", 
    "data": {
        "pulse": "on", 
        "pulseWidth": 2000
    } 
 }

Now the inching setting is on with pulsewidth 2000ms, thus, when device is turned on, it will automatically turn off after 2000ms.

To get the device info, send a request via a URL request of

http://[ip]:[port]/zeroconf/info.

{ 
    "deviceid": "", 
    "data": { } 
 }

Empty object, no attribute is required.

A response feedback of the device info is coming.

How easy the whole process is, isn’t it?

PS: DIY mode 2.0 is availble for the device (BASICR3, RFR3 MINI and D1) with firmware 3.5.0, if the device firmware is below 3.5.0, update the firmware via eWeLink APP is needed.

Today I want to introduce you two great smart gadgets: Slampher and SONOFF RF,The Slampher WiFi wireless light holder is such a powerful automatic light switch that supports all E27 screw base light bulbs. The Sonoff RF WiFi wireless switch can control all kinds of home appliances and electric devices, which is also a great home automation light switch. Both the Slampher and Sonoff RF supports 3 control ways: local switch, mobile APP and 433MHz remote control.

Let’s have a look at the Slampher. I have screwed it with an E27 LED light bulb.

Then screw it to the original light holder. You may notice there is a small black button on the light holder, that is the local toggle button and also WiFi pairing button.

APP Control
To enable APP remote control, firstly, we should download the APP called eWeLink Android from GooglePlay or iOS from APP Store. Install it to your smart phone or tablet, register a new account with email(users located outside Asian area) or phone number.

To add Slampher to the APP, you should press and hold the pairing button until the LED fast blinks.

Then tap”+” on APP. Search and add it, enter your WiFi name and password, then name the device. Learn more details about eWeLink user guide.Then you will see the device on your device list, enter the interface you can turn it on/off freely.

Timing Schedules
To automate control the light bulbs, you can custom different timing schedules on APP to turn on/off at specified time. Both Slampher and Sonoff RF supports timing schedule function. You can set single/repeat/countdown/loop timing schedules.

Countdown timing allows you to turn on/off device after a preset time. The maximum countdown time is 24hr.

Loop timer can be auto-executed every preset time(say 1hr), and continue for a shorter preset time(say 10min). For example, use loop timer to control watering system switch for your garden. You can use loop timer to automatically turn on the watering system every hour, and keep working for 10min and then automatically turn off.

SONOFF RF need to do some simple wiring. The input connects to the power supply (90-250v AC), and the output can connect to any electric devices or home appliances (max power 2200 W).

To add it to the APP, you should press and hold the black set button until the led beside fast blink. Then you could add it to your smart phone or tablet.

Sonoff RF works the same as Slampher, you can tap on the APP to turn it on or off immediately. Also, you can preset various types of timing for your devices. Note: each device supports max. 8 timers. The remote control switch can then automatically turn on/off at the preset time regularly.

433MHz Remote Control

After pairing with the remote controller, you can press the button indoor to turn on/off your device. How to pair it with the 433MHz Remote Controller? Quickly press the black “set” button on Sonoff/Slampher twice, the red LED on Sonoff RF/Slampher will flash one time, then press one of the ABCD buttons on the remote controller once for a few seconds to pair with. If you pair it with A, then you can press A to turn on/off your device.

To cancel the pairing, you need to fast press the”set” button on Sonoff/Slampher 3 times.

Now you can use SONOFF to remote control any home appliances or electric devices and use Slampher to remote control any light bulbs, and customize different automate timing schedules to DIY a automate smart home or office. Sonoff and Slampher, control from anywhere at any time!
