Let's face it, we all have fondled with the idea of a servo pushing the button at some point

[@hopheadeddie]

Hi Bitluni Love your videos and have learned a great deal on the 8266 Wifi from watching. I got a couple of Etekcity remote outlets. I copied your Arduino code and bought the 433Mhz transmitter / receiver modules. I had a problem that I was able to determine that the Etekcity remote outlets have a different ON/OFF pattern. The data bits that control on/off are reversed and they don't use a bit for the channel. The outlets all have separate addresses. 0011=off 1100=on. (Preamble, Address, On/OFF data) I was almost to the point of using a relay to short out the switches..Thanks

[@anarki8884]

Thanks for the video, it was fun to watch :) I had also taken a look at these cheap RF power outlets and I was thinking about incorporating them into my existing home automation system using an ESP as a bridge. It seemed like a pretty reasonable solution until I started thinking about security. In principle, anyone can control your equipment with this setup, right? I realize that the risk is probably quite low in most cases, but I don't like the idea too much. I think I would still consider using a solution like this for non-critical sensors, but not for actuators.

[@billg2345]

Hi! It's very interesting and cool! Thank you very much! Now I want to build a smart home based on ESP, and looking for wall switches and wall plugs with the same feature. Actually I've found some but I'am not sure that I would be able to grab their codes and make them work with ESP because of it I want to ask your help to choice that stuff on Aliexpress

Hallo, I'm trying a similar-ish project with little knowledge on the matter. I'm using NodeMCU. Just on lil' question, does the phone you're using needs to be connected via WiFi to the same router your little shield is? Or can you do the same thing over celular data / other WiFi? Thaaaanks

[@verishare]

The Etekcity outlets I have do not have the program button. Have you encountered this? HAving trouble programming the ID with the esp and fs1000 module.

[@Breeegz]

So, in order to build a jammer, you would only need to txmit a preamble pulse every 16 cycles? I actually use one of these kits for controlling my Christmas Lights, but I'm still using the remotes.

[@alexk6585]

hey great job i made something similar (control an air conditioner outlet using esp via blynk app) the ac requirers about 20a 110v at first everything seems to work yet after a month or so the relay output (com / no) stop executing power while inputs on of works fine what could be the problem? I use a relay which is made for 10 a should i get a bigger one? and i power relay from esp should i power itbfrom a different separate power source? Thanks

Hi, can you please explain, why both RF and Wifi modules used? Is there any special purpose? I thought ESP alone was sufficient.

[@montenegro3167]

I have similar switches and done the same thing, however my plugs seems to forgot the remote controller's code. so I after a power outage, you have to re-pair all of the sockets, which sucks.

[@mudokin]

Genau das wa ich gesucht habe. Jetzt braucht ich nur noch das Geld und Motivation.

[@KavehAfshari]

Following this process, I was able to reprogram the outlet to the default code. However it would turn the outlet off when I press ON. Pressing OFF doesn't do any thing. I have tried changing the RF_OSC, channel and ID, but the results is always the same. if outlet is ON, pressing ON on the page would turn off. Pressing OFF doesn't do any thing. Any suggestions?

How to remove, clear memory of learned signals in the socket? Is it possible with this grey button? EDIT: the only way i found out: save many times the same code, to roll out the memory slots. Holding the button while entering the socket to the wall deosn't work for me. .

[@Xh3lar]

Hi, what's the range with that tiny antenna you wired? I see you are powering it with 3.3v, wouldn't the range be greater if you gave it 5v? I've read a lot of stuff about these 433mhz modules, and the range is sometimes low even with 12v arduino power. Thanks

[@AndersJackson]

Xh3lar the length of the antenna is more important. And the device are designed to work with the right voltage. Wrong voltage will ruin the device...

Hey, great video! Everything went well after i tried to replicate it. I took all the components you recommended but unfortunately onky the pairing seems to work. No Command is switching the device on or of. As I said, the paring seems to work LED starts blinking fast after paring. Any Suggestions? Thanks a lot =)

[@janghalib2078]

Did you end up figuring it out ?

[@olafnielsen7757]

Excellent. Whats your profession?

[@bhavinrathod406]

hello , I have got question but there is nothing I could find on web, if we use relay for switching home appliances ,there is a chance that some time relay get sticked and contacts are get messy due to sparking so is it wise thing to replace relay with triac ? or triac have also some demerits , I hope u know solution and give me guidance about it

[@PsiQ]

Bhavin Rathod Hello there! A Relay is much safer/easier to use than triac, if you keep to the designed relays specs. switching high capacitive loads like pc-power supplies will of course burn your contacts with high inrush currents, but just use higher rated relais, and/or switch both phase and null, not only 1 phase. (i think snubber cuircuit is the term to search for). even if one contact sticks the other one still cuts off. A triac will always have a small current flowing through it, which kind of annoys me and/or leads to slight lighting or blinking of lights/leds...(charging of cap until voltage triggers start then discharged...and again). triacs also need overvoltage protection/surge + heatsinks added, so only really good if you have to dim/pwm something. easy&reliable => Thats why relays are still massively used in car applications...

[@bhavinrathod406]

This is the perfect answer sir , thank you so much I really admire your work😊,thanks alot

[@JMTosses]

Great video, Luni! But ... but ... but ... do you get confirmation for a received signal? In a normal flat it's probably not a big deal and you should be well covered by - as you proposed - sending the same command a few times but in a house or for outdoor use you would really want an "ACK" of sorts, right? I've been using 433 MHz radio controlled outlets for some projects but those proved to be unreliable which is why I lately started to move everything over to mySensor and/or ESP-01 controlled relays that receive MQTT commands and return MQTT states for added reliability. Anyway ... sweet video! Hope you'll be sent a proper DSO by a viewer. In case you receive too many, please consider sending one my way ;) Cheers and thanks for sharing!

[@bitluni]

Sorry, those outlets are only unidirectional. You can't be sure if the code arrived. That's why I send a code multiple times. If you need a status answer, you have to use a relay module. You can take my homeAutomation sketch from my other video and use the setPins function to control the relay. Using the WeMos relay shield might be easier than the modules I used before.

[@JMTosses]

Thanks for the reply. Yep, that's what I thought. I run my own sketches for MQTT pubsub with ESP-01 and simple 5V mains relays. I also use mySensors sketches for the relays I use with Arduino Nanos or Pro Minis and nRF21L01 transceivers. Would be great to find something cheap and hackable that does send ACKs and already features a Schuko socket. Or even cheaper SonOffs. Well, we can always hope. Anyways - love following your channel - great stuff. Cheers and thanks!

[@ArielDeil]

Nice! But there is no security over the RF signal. Anyone can mess with my outlets. Am I right?

[@AlekseyGureiev]

How do you solve the problem of getting a different IP address from your local WiFi router on reconnects? I would suggest using an mDNS to assign local network names (like "lamp.local") to your Wemos-sockets. This way, you can always access them by name.

[@bitluni]

great idea.. but I had lot's of problems using mDNS, I really tried. But it's an option

[@AlekseyGureiev]

I'm having problems only with Android devices. They don't support mDNS to my best knowledge. Mac / PC and iOS support perfectly.

[@AndersJackson]

AlexTheKid85 yes, but they work differently, with different protocol depending on manufacturers. I uses Telstick USB device with OpenHAB.

[@SHo-84]

Hi, thanks for the great video! I've just tried it out but don't seem to get it working. The funny thing is: When I'm trying to reprogram the adapters it seems to work (the LED stops flashing as soon as i send a command) but afterward it doesn't recognize any command I'm sending. Do you have any suggestions or tips?

[@SHo-84]

Nevermind, I've found the error. My Adapters are working with a very different coding of the signal.

[@tomasmandorf1498]

hey, also did not get the thing to work. Mind sharing what coding you used?

[@AndersJackson]

Tomas Mandorf there are many different protocols, depending on manufacturers etc. I uses Telstick to manage that for me. They have information about controlling 443 MHz radio controlled devices on their web site. It is a USB dongel where you just tell it what command to send. Very neat, and works with OpenHAB.
