*How a simple solution turned into so much completion! If you're having to solder so much, rather use calling bell switch and solder the 2 wires into the push button pin. It's as simple as that rather making another extra expenses and efforts...*
@bob196110003 жыл бұрын
I see a few comments here about just tapping off the existing push button using a simple momentary switch connection. Yes that would work, however if someone holds it down too long it will go into flash-mode with no way to reset it back to factory settings. So its ok if you're the only one going to use it or in case of an emergency situation (that is a rare event) but its a bit risky in the open environment. There is some circuitry that you can add to interrupt the hold down but this approach is a little hardier and would blend into typical household décor.
@the_vccground3 жыл бұрын
Yes, you are absolutely right. E77 module prevents it from entering into the flash mode and yet provides the manual switch control quite nicely.

If your already soldering 3 pins to the board...... your might as well solder the 4th pin to it and flash tasmota (it's really not that complicated as one might think) to the device so that when you are done the tasmota is still in tact without any extra hardware attached. Tasmota has also the option to listen to state changes of a switch.... so you can use a regular switch and are still able to switch it remotely. You can even use a momentary switch to only switch the relay when you hold the button and switch off when you release (have not found a use for it myself, but it's possible!). Using this expensive option means when you want to change the behavior of the sonoff you will have to unsolder the board... the method above is over complicated. Besides.. there is a reason why there is a gap/slid in the sonoff board where you place the module... it keeps the live and neutral tracks separated, placing this board on top of it could potentially be a fire hazard... do not use. Besides, on many occasions the ewee link servers are offline or the sonoff's just cannot reach them.

Root of the problem is bloody Sonoff not providing a NC contact on its relay (to safe costs of course, low budget). If only they had done a little more thinking, it would have avoided so much trouble! Your solution is okay, but you still make yourself dependant on electronics and as you know a simple lightning strike will kill it and your way of switching on a simple light. Therefor I think it's better to either replace the relay of a Sonoff by a type that has NO and NC contacts, so combining it with an existing switch is no trouble and even a failing relay and or electronics will still leave you to switch on the light manually! OR just add a simple second relay that has NO and NC contacts, operated by the Sonoff, and therefor giving you back full manual control with any existing (3-pole) switch. I wonder if Sonoff is short for Son-of-a-bitch? :-) or rather; Son-off-a-switch!

too many downsides to this solution - doubling the cost of implementation, voiding warranty, unreliable extra connections on the pcb, etc. instead simply connect live in and out of sonoff in parallel with any existing switch the sonoff was replacing and achieve almost similar results.
@the_vccground6 жыл бұрын
in that case, if the manual switch is ON, you can not turn off the device connected to Sonoff switch.
@outoftheb0x6 жыл бұрын
vccground yes correct. another simple solution to achieve your exact objective is to solder a pair of wires across the push button switch on pcb and connect them to a standard door bell switch.
@the_vccground6 жыл бұрын
That is the easiest option to do but that would leave our existing wall switches useless. The idea is not to disturb our existing wall switch setup and use them as before.

I'm confused. The switch you have do not connect to live and natural. It look like you extended the push button into that rocker switch. Im not understanding something. If it was that easy...... I watch your videos sometime and I'm like something is not right. Then I'm like that's how shelly works. Then I'm glad for safety checks and control. Please just extend the already push button to a new rocker switch.

The switch shown in the video is not a rocker switch. It's a regular toggle switch used in our houses...

If we hack sonoff basic and upload Tasmota firmware then Cant use ewelink app? If yes.Why any hack videos on youtube not explian that topic and make attention to watcher/follower
@the_vccground6 жыл бұрын
Correct. If you go through all the comments, I have mentioned this a few times that by changing the Sonoff firmware, you would not be able to use ewelink app.

Sonoff Basic also has a push button but we are talking about using a regular wall switch and not a doorbell switch.

Don't buy this module.. Use doorbell button on wall.. It will look cool
@the_vccground6 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can do that but in that case you will have to change all the wall switches (where sonoff's are installed) in your house with doorbell switches which would not look good. Also if someone long presses the doorbell button, the sonoff will get resetted and you will have to configure it again. The sole purpose of this module is to use our existing wall switches and avoid the accidental sonoff reset. Thanks

I dont get why people making a fuss, just put switch between L-out of sonoff and lamp that way when switch is off there is no way light will turn on

or simply use bell button instead of regular one. which gives you plus feature to pair with other wifi access point in future. without popping out the case. but it also make you vulnerable outside, you can use it inside like as, BELL SWITCH EVERYWHERE. xD.
