Sonoff RF Bridge Review

[@cashe18]

For your RF remotes, you should setup as 2 buttons each..an ON and an OFF. then make another for unit 2. That is a good work around

[@csongorvarga]

Sorry no. I used zigbee bridges and infra transmitters but not rf.

[@kathryn_grobler]

Thank you for this video, it helped us with our problem

[@stuffoflardohfortheloveof]

Hi, nice video. I have several other sonoff devices and just bought one of these bridges to experiment. Excuse this if it’s a daft question but…….I’m a little confused, I can see how the bridge ‘learns’ the RF code (ie takes it ‘IN’) and can then control something else BUT does it work in reverse? ie if you press one of the buttons on the app does the bridge also then send OUT the RF to turn on one of the plug sockets?

[@mkuerten]

Thanks for sharing this video. Well done and super insightful

[@kimkristensen417]

Hi, do you know how sync the time? I See that is not working. I need to chane the time zone to GMT-3

[@koenvanhulle2846]

How do I know which frequency my rf remote uses. If I searched google it says 868 MHz. Is there a wifi bridge for that? Remote = Situo 1 RTS Pure II

[@先生陳-b7r]

DW2-RF before can be learn,but now can't,when i press other rf433 button ,the rf receive led light on, means it receive the rf433 signal,but not learning,is that a software bug?

[@oldedwardian1778]

Several questions, I would want to use this device to control ceiling fans in my house, what sort of range does the RF signal have? a fan would be a single device BUT there are multiple functions associated with that device such as Fan speed and light control as well as on/off. Will this bridge accommodate those functions. What are the implications of using Several of these Bridges throughout the house.

[@csongorvarga]

These have rather good range. And these low frequency RF signals travel well across walls. But I don't think you would be able to do much with the fan speed. Light and On/Off would be easy, but I have no idea how the speed is wired and if that can be done with RF. I only had one RF Bridge, but I see no reason why multiple would not work in the same house. Probably the most straight forward way would be to use RF Bridge to pick up the signals from your RF remote/keyfob and that triggers different modes on the Sonoff fan controller such as iFan02. But with iFan02 you can set up a scene to turn it on/off, but there is no scene setting to change speed.

[@elisalant]

Love your videos!! Do you know if you can use an Alexa routine once say the PIR or door sensor has been triggered? Many thanks

[@csongorvarga]

No, voice integration can only be an input to ewelink, does not work the other way.

[@sur6279]

Good day. Thank you for this video! Is this Sonoff PIR Sensor able to detect a cat in the room? I just need to flush the toilet after my cat during the night (probably several times) and I wonder whether I can use this PIR sensor...

[@kattz753]

Thank you for this great tutorial. I'm just starting out with the smart home stuff. I picked up a set of Westinghouse RF controlled sockets a few weeks ago as an impulse buy. I really liked them. I now have an Echo Dot and I was planning on upgrading to wifi smart plugs. I ordered some from Amazon. The first set, 3 out of 4 were defective. They're on their way back. I ordered a different brand and I'm going to try to cancel. The RF sockets were $20 Canadian. The RF bridge is also $20. That's cheaper than the Chinese sockets. Now that I know that I can make them voice-enabled, I think that I'll stick with them. Cheap, unbranded Chinese electrical components, what was I thinking?

[@csongorvarga]

Thanks. It is a bit of a hit and miss. I use unbranded Chinese components (not plugs), and I usually have no issues. But of course quality suffers when they lower the price. But check if they will work with RF Bridge. I am getting comments from people that none of their devices worked with RF Bridge. As you can see I also had issues, but most of them worked.

[@kattz753]

I order from Amazon, so if it doesn't work, I'll be OK. It was too late to stop my second order so I have 4 Teckin outlets on the way. Sonoff also has some RF & WiFi light sockets that I would like to try for my basement anyhow. I live in an old house, most of the lights down there are on chains and since I have old wiring, my lighting choices are limited. I'm going to have to get Lutron Caseta for upstairs so anything that can cut the costs down a bit is good.

[@d.vandijk9333]

Very good videos, very helpful for a newbee like me. Question: how should I link a door sensor with seperate open and closed code? When I choose for Alarm in de Ewelink app then only one code will be registered. Or should I make two alarms, 1 for the open code and 1 for the closed code? Thanks!

[@csongorvarga]

Yes, this is a very good question. So far I have only seen an door open alarm. It does not send any message when the door is closed. Hence there is only one code. So I don't have an answer to your question.

[@newvision3642]

Than you very much for the information. I have problems with smart welink right now, it says "smart we link is unavailable right now", but still makes the connection. I think the problem is in the new update of smart welink app (yesterday) . do you have the same problem?

[@28ambob]

Thanks for this clear explanation. A question, is it possible to log humidity and temperature during long periodes with a Sonoff TH 16 ?

[@csongorvarga]

No, unfortunately there is no history. You get the current reading and that is all.

[@collectorsinfo]

Hi,great video & info, but i am hoping you can help with a problem. I have 3x PIR2’s 1x bridge & 1 sonoff mini. What i am trying to do is is switch some communal hallway lights for a time of around 5-6 minutes using the above items. The problem i have is that i open the front door the PIR2 picks me up & the lights switch on & this is good & it switches off a few minutes later. Now only works if i dont move again after i have opened the front door, because if the PIR picks me up again within this timed period, the lights get switch off. Can you think of a way around this. Thanks

[@csongorvarga]

I did this video a long time ago, I hope I remember the details right. I would try the following: set up the 3 PIR sensors as alarms. Create 3 scenes that trigger in the 3 PIR sensor and turn the Sonoff mini On. And in the Sonoff mini settings turn on the inching functionality and set it to whatever off time you want. If you use this the PIR sensor should never turn off your light.

[@Nasty00B]

Hello, when you are not connected to your WiFi, do you keep receiving the alarm message in the eWeLink app ? Are they pushed (meaning the app is not started) ? How do you connect more than one RF Bridge to the app ? Thanks.

[@yoiburger69]

Hi, wouldn't the auto gate already have its own relay? Then I just pair my existing auto gate remote with the sonoff bridge, is that possible?

[@willysetyadi465]

very nice video.. Thanks can I ask a case? I have multiple T1 Sonoff athome, my setting on existing T1 is just on off, and some with schedulling on off and if it connect to wifi, it use IP for each device, I want to save number of IP, so my plan is to purchase this RF bridge, to connect and control the T1.for on off via bridge, and if possible to set shecdull on-off on the T1. is it possible?

[@ELFXIII]

Which is safer for me to use; maybe, I should say which is more secure to use Wi-Fi or RF when secure in my home with devices?

[@csongorvarga]

That is a very good question. I don't think these cheap wifi devices are particulary secure. But I think it is easier to sniff the unsecure rf code than mess with your devices over wifi.

[@AlexTheDadGamer]

Hello. Do you know if there are any/major differences between this and the sonoff zigbee bridge ? Thank you

[@csongorvarga]

Oh yes, everything. Completely different tech. Old RF works on 433MHz, Zigbee is 2.4 GHz. RF is lower frequency so it helps with range, usually cheaper, communication is not secure. I think it is OK for basic sensors. Zigbee is the new tech, it is secure communication, the sensor is bind to the receiver, so nobody else can listen in the data, Zigbee devices create mesh network so they can communicate through each other to extend the coverage. Sonoff RF bridge has a stupidly small limit of 4 RF devices per bridge.

[@AlexTheDadGamer]

@@csongorvarga Thank you for the fast response. My use case is 433 window shutters and pir/door sensors for smart alarm system. Which one is the best for that case ? Also range is really important. I have recently purchased a Broadlink RM4 pro and the range on RF is very small: from my tests it does not go past 7 meters so i cannot reach all blinders in my house: again 433 mhz remotes for those, and 2: broadlink cannot attach PIR/magnetic sensors(maybe it can i just did not figure out how)

[@csongorvarga]

@@AlexTheDadGamer That is interesting, I have 433Mhz door bells out at my gate which is about 20 meters away and my received picks it up without any problem. But if you have 433 window shutters, those probably cannot be replaced with Zigbee units, so try linking them with RF receivers and use Zigbee for anything else.

[@AlexTheDadGamer]

@@csongorvarga So what i understand is that with the Zigbee router i need zigbee enabled devices while i can use ther egular 433 from Sonoff for regular 433 devices/like my blinders/sensors. Is that correct ?

[@csongorvarga]

@@AlexTheDadGamer Yes, these are completely separate. You need a bridge/gateway for both 433 and Zigbee. And you would like them together with Scenes in eWelink

Awesome stuff! There is also a Sonoff BasicR3 device that has RF functionality but I can't tell whether you can send RF commands and decypher RF codes like you can with this hub, do you know? I've only seen it paired with their Sonoff RF remote so maybe it only receives commands?

[@csongorvarga]

Thanks. I think what you heard is true. With a Sonoff you can provide power to the AC, but it will not tell the AC to also turn on (not to mention other details like temperature, speed, etc.). BroadLink RM Pro is a wifi IR remote hub which I have been recommended in the past. That will let you control your AC from your smartphone, but as far as I can tell it is not integrated with Google Home / Alexa. Sensibo Sky is another product which is advertised a lot, but that is a different price range.

No, most of RF devices work on 433 Mhz, but there are other frequencies out that which are not supported. I know that for example most roller blind RF remotes do not work.

I know that you can set a timer on a sonoff basic , so if you press ON after X min it will go off automatically. Think it could be possible to add a door sensor that when the garage door is open reports to the bridge, and activate a sonoff basic with the previous configuration i wrote.

They could've put an IR receiver and blaster into the same box. That would also work with infrared devices, like an A/C. Still, very handy device :)

walls touch switches is demmable?

[@csongorvarga]

No, those are only on/off switches.

[@DimitriosPrimpas]

Are these protected in any way? What if a friend of mine (who would have access to my WiFi) pair the sonoff devices to his phone and control them ?

[@csongorvarga]

These are protected to at least for this scenario. Once your device is paired, it cannot be paired to another account. It needs to be deleted from your account first. Therefore if you paired the device to your account, it cannot be taken away from you.

[@edemtotorro2]

Szia. Tudnál nekem segíteni hogy miért nem akarja megtanulni a távirányítókat. Mind 433mhz-s de egyikre se reagél.

[@csongorvarga]

Sajnos nincs garancia hogy melyikkel működik és melyikkel nem. Például tudom hogy redőny távirányítókkal nem működik, az más kódolással működik. Sajnos ha nem megy akkor semmit sem lehet tenni.

Is it posible to jog a reley with the app? if I would push a button on a app for 10sec or something like thaht.. woul it be trigerd just for 10 sec? Or is that not posible? I would need it to work like that

[@csongorvarga]

I don't think so. RF Bridge is programmed to only send out 1 signal and that's it. You can't change that.

[@gregorbedak]

@@csongorvarga But is it posible to maby make a joging/inching mode? I would need a signel when i would say: hey google turn on the light (and would get a output for 1 sec) and when I would say google turn off the light (1sec signa) is that posible?

[@dariusEMPEROR]

so an RF bridge can be connected only to 4 devices? did i got that right?

[@csongorvarga]

Yes, that is unfortunately correct.

[@chrisjheath1768]

Maximum 4 devices but each device can have up to 4 buttons, so technically 16 buttons in total.

[@arjunakumarsingh]

Hi I have successfully connected the RF bridge to my ewelink app but its offline not coming to online even I have waited and tried two three time kindly help me out what would be the reason and why it is offline

[@csongorvarga]

That is interesting. So it definitely works if the pairing completed. Maybe it is too far away from the router? Your router is on 2.4GHz right? Don't really have other suggestions to be honest.

[@sarasagar76]

Hello.. I purchase rf bridge kit... But how I configure pir and door sensor for home leaving ( lock). And Home arrived ( unlock)..

[@csongorvarga]

You cannot. The door sensor senses when the door is opened. It can't tell if you are leaving or arriving. And there is no sense of state either. You can only do simple triggers like your pir or door sensor turns a light on.

[@CezarWagenheimer]

@@csongorvarga Is it possible to Pir Sensor to Turn On a light on only at the certain time of the day? (At night)

[@csongorvarga]

@@CezarWagenheimer No, unfortunately not.

[@dariusEMPEROR]

@@CezarWagenheimer for that you will need a motion &light sensor (which will activate only when there is not enough light eg. at night or at dawn)

[@CezarWagenheimer]

@@dariusEMPEROR This is now available within the most recent versions. I was able to configure it to only turn on the lights at night.

[@aihysp]

Hi Csongor will this work with any 433 or do i need the sonoff stuff? for emaple can i buy any brand PIR,Smoke?

[@csongorvarga]

Not all the devices featured in this video are Sonoff. I think it will work with generic devices as well, but you will only find out when you try to pair them. One of my remote did not work.

[@aihysp]

thanks, I am planing to flash it... do you think it's limited to the amount of inputs? (PIRs for exmple)or only outputs are limited

[@csongorvarga]

I was also quite annoyed by the limit. I am pretty sure it is not the limitation of the hardware. This has plenty of memory to store a few dozen codes at least. So you most probably would not have a limit with a different firmware. But I don't know what alternative firmwares are available to RF Bridge. Never tested any.

[@aihysp]

Hi I have seen @dr zzz use thasmota with it I think it can listen to unlimited amonut but I will test and tell

[@arpadtoth4973]

Szia Csongor, korábban vettem az első generációs RF Bridge-et, de gyakorlatilag egy távirányítót sem tudtam vele használni (433 MHz-esek), a szoftver frissítés után sem. Az új változat jobb a régi változatnál, van rá esély hogy ez jobban működik?

[@csongorvarga]

Én a régit nem láttam. Nekem is volt amit nem tudott megtanulni, szóval nincs rá semmi garancia. A Wikibe írja hogy mit támogat, de sokkal nehezebb egy távirányítóról kideríteni hogy az mit használ. Szóval marad a próbálkozás.

[@csongorvarga]

The receiving supports fixed code encoding, like PT2260, PT2262, PT2264, EV1527, etc. Not support to learn rolling code and dynamic code

[@batkamano11]

[@express375]

Great vid. Shame it didnt work 100%, but really helpful all the same, cheers.

[@SirHenryKrinkle]

I need to have 1 button for on and 1 button for off, like on the actual remote. Pressing the same button to switch on and off like you showed doesn't work for me. That means that for a single 4 buttons remote I need to have 8 buttons and two sets of virtual remotes...

[@csongorvarga]

It has been a while since I did this video, but that should not be a problem. You add the buttons as alarms and create a scene for each. And you configure scene 1 to trigger on button 1 to turn on your device. Scene 2, button 2, turn off the device and so on.

[@istvanszabo906]

Szia. Két kérdésem lenne. Először is elérhetők a videóid magyarul. Második, a videodban ewelinkel több eszközt is vezéreltél, az én ewelinkem azt írja hogy max 4rf csatornát taníthatsz rá. valamit rosszul csináltam vagy van másik verziója, ámbár ma lefrissítettem a legújabbra .

[@csongorvarga]

Szia, magyarul nincsenek. És nekem is 4 eszköz a korlát. Amin egy kicsit csodálkoztam is. Nem tudom elképzelni hogy ez valami programozási korlát lehet inkább csak így kényszerítik az embert hogy nem tudjon egy komplett RF hálózatot egy Bridge-gyel lekezelni. Szóval szívás. Alap dolgokra jó, de egy komolyabb hálózatot nem építesz belőle (legalábbis nem egyből).

[@torocsikzoltan79]

Szia, Gratulálok a videóhoz, jó lett. Egészen hasznos dolognak tűnik, az nem egyértelmű számomra, hogy a brige-nek és a telónak ugyanazon a hálózaton kell lenni vagy neten keresztül is működik?

[@csongorvarga]

Koszonom. Barhol, ugyan azon a neten, mobilnet vagy akar mas wifi.

how.to stop rf bridge or pir,, when i am home?

[@csongorvarga]

So far there is no such feature.

[@skiccpausz007]

Szia! Nagyon jó a videó! Van egy hatalmas hiányom/problémám ezzel az RF bridge-el. A hozzá csatlakoztatott távirányítók miért nem lehetnek trigger eszközök? Mikor megnyomok egy távirányító gombot, akkor felvillan a piros statuszled a bridge-en, szóval nem egyirányú a kapcsolat...

[@csongorvarga]

Hát igen, jó kérdés. De ha a távirányítót mint Motion Sensor regisztrálod akkor lehet belőle trigger. Én is így csináltam meg hogy a RF ketfobbal kapcsolgattam a Sonoff Basic-et.

[@skiccpausz007]

És valóban, már megy is! :D Erre nem gondoltam, hogy tudom sensorként regisztrálni. Így azért más lesz az élet:) köszi nagyon! Lenne még egy kérdésem, szerinted a legegyszerűbben hogyan tudok nyomógomb-vezérlést csinálni sonoffal? Pl. van egy redőnyvezérlésem és a fali nyomógomb mellett szeretném messziről vezérelni (azaz megnyomni) a kütyüt. A vezérelő sonoffnak kéne valahogyan bekapcsolás után AUTOMATIKUSAN és rövid időn belül kikapcsolnia. Erre tudsz valami egyszerű módszert? Előre is köszi, üdv

[@csongorvarga]

Én még egyetlen olyan Sonoff eszközt nem láttam ami tudott volna ilyen impulzus üzemmódot. Be lehet állítani hogy kapcsoljon ki, de az legalább 1 perc. Egyetlen dolog ami eszembe jut az pont ebben a videóban látható. Van az a kis RF relé. Egy kis apró nyomtatott áramköri lap kék relével. Az úgy van beállítva, hogy ha jelet kap akkor meghúz a relé és utána elenged. Szóval csak ez más nem.

[@skiccpausz007]

Köszi! Már megrendeltem az RF NYÁKokat, csak egy hónap míg megjönnek, ugyebár:). Közben találtam két lehetőséget is, csak elég kiszámíthatatlanok a futásidők. Az egyik az IFTT-vel egy függvény, ami csak annyi, hogy, ha az "A" eszköz bekapcsol, akkor az "A" eszköz kapcsoljon ki. Tapasztalataim szerint pár másodperc míg elvégzi a műveletet. A másik pedig egy loop timer aminek mindkét ciklusa OFF . Ez lassabb és sztochasztikusabb, de valami miatt, ha Alexával aktiválom a bekapcsolást, akkor az IFTT-s kikapcsolás nem megy, csak ez a loop timer-es.

[@andreamitchell4758]

FYI those cheap RF relays are great and they have more than just the momentary mode, there is also a latched mode so you can have either one button to switch it on and another button to switch it off or you can have it so one button switches it on and off and there is another mode too but i forget what it is since i never use it and thye also come in 10 amp 120/220 v so they can be used for main just like a sonoff basic and it also has the different modes, so you can make it on with one FQ and off with another FQ i use the 12v models for the garage with a broadlink RM pro well i use one right now but then you only have one FQ for both open and close i got a second one for the garage and now i am waiting for my momentary SPDT button switch to arrive from China so that i can wire the 2 relays and the switch up to get separate FQ's , one for open and one for close here is a schematic for you if you are interested 9000 hours in MS paint postimg.cc/image/9t529w893/ i plan on mounting or gluing the button to a magnet and then sticking the magnet on the end of the rail near the opener so that when the door opens the trolley will press in the button
