Sonoff WiFi Light Switch in Home Assistant

[@monnierobinson9210]

Thank you so much! You saved me countless hours of troubleshooting my first Sonoff wall switch installation. For some reason, I missed the step to connect to my home wireless before looking for the new Sonoff device. I was worried my 2.4 wireless wasn't working, but after your walk through, the magic happened! I have a nice new Sonoff Mini R1 working in my Home Assistant. Happy days! Now to connected the other 25 wall switches and power outlets...

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Glad it helped!

Thank you so much for very good informative video for installing and connecting the Sonoff Light Switch. Until I found your video I was really struggling to locate my device or even connect to the WiFi. After watching your video after only a few minutes, I was able to successfully connect and install the Sonoff Light Switch, rather than the previous 2 hours that I had wasted. So again thank you👍🏻 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@SmartHomeMakers]

No worries Grant!!

It's a great tutorial for everyone! Congratulations! I have also a issue! One of my double switches Sonoff from home, doesn't enter anymore in pairing mode. I have changed my wifi source and now, the blue light of my switch is flashing only once at 12-13 seconds. I keep pushing 7 second for pairing mode but it's doesn't respond. I have a mention, the switch is working (i mean on/of the light) only if i push the button in that very moment when the blue light of wifi is on, once at 12 seconds. I can't fix this problem, and the switch was working perfectly until i changed the wireless source.

Hi George, this was over a year ago, but by memory I did have an issues in resetting and pairing with one of my switches

[@fishandreptileinfo]

In the UK the switch is down for on and up for off. The opposite of what you described. Interesting video though. Thanks

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Thanks for pointing that out!

[@andrewjoynson5953]

Brilliant... thanks so much for posting this. Saved me from going crazy as I had spent hours trying to suss it out! :)

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Hi Andrew, glad I was able to help whole point of the channel!

Good video Leonardo. I used it to install some sonoff switches basic and it worked out fine.Maybe good to mention that id you rename the switch you must use lower case only. Keep up the good work :-)

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Thanks for sharing

[@AKKJ420]

Can you add IR lights to home assistant? I'm really confused because for IR to work the remote must be in line of sight so unless you add a wifi module to the light how can you link it to your WiFi? I know this video is nothing to do with IR, I was just curious.

[@destinynmorka9719]

Great, you made it look easy for me and am grateful🙏

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Hi Destiny did it go well?

[@NSAj-ib5jq]

Thanks for this valuable video. Is there a way to turn switch button light off likewise network indicator as it make my room not sutable for sleep in night due to bright blue light.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Great idea, haven't found it myself did you dig into the options?

[@Ipawn3r]

Hello nice vids !! I need some advice. Is there any way to control with sonoff wall switch a light that is not wired with it ? Maybe with an extra module or something ? Thanks !

[@SmartHomeMakers]

I actually was thinking to test this! From smart home solver latest video I spotted that he did it!

[@hk9443]

Hi do you think its possible to overide the physical sonoff switch? Let's say when I press the physical button I do not want it to cut power, instead make HA overide and use the remote to turn it off (with broadlink remote). The reason I hope for this feature is so it can remember the last used settings if it does not cut off the power.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

It might be there, try to check with the owner of the integration on GitHub I forget their name :)

[@bibinmadhavan3371]

Hello! Your videos are so good )) I have a small doubt to ask if I add sonoff 3gang switch to homeassistant will I be able to operate them separately through HA?

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Indeed you can!

[@bibinmadhavan3371]

@@SmartHomeMakers Thank You !!

[@rehabwales]

In the UK most light switches do not have a neutral down to the switch.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Very true, I tried an aqara no neutral wall switch lately

[@LiveoneLee]

I’ve just bought this 3 gang sonoff switch, but it requires a neutral, is there anyway to bypass this so I haven’t wasted my money?

[@drreality1]

Why not flash then with tasmota?

[@SmartHomeMakers]

What benefit would it give me ? :) I have never tried before!

[@drreality1]

@@SmartHomeMakers takes off the internet, integrates with mqtt, so you won't need hacs

[@ChristianSkallerupBrgesen]

There are two types og people. Those who flash because they can and Those who do not because you dont have to. Neither is wrong.

[@digiblurDIY]

@@drreality1 indeed! Device groups and MQTT usage. No dependency on HA where code can change and or even worse if firmware on the switch itself changes rendering this useless.

Do you have ideas for Smart Home Technology for People with Hearing Loss 20 millions make notification lights blink just as the doorbell Camera Also that connects RJ-11 from the videophone rings an incoming call? Do you have ideas on how to do creative?

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Hi Dario! There is an opportunity to help a lot of people with smart tech solutions many ideas! Look at some of my light videos on the channel!

[@destinynmorka9719]

but i dont understand the line of codes😥 and how to integrate

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Sorry Destiny! did you add the code in the configuration.yaml?

[@robotikveotomasyon3578]

Could you please help me? How can I config my device's IP adress as Static.

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Hello! One way is that you can find the MAC address of the device in your routers user interface and set a static ip, what internet provider / router do you have?

[@hein_mcleod]

For some stupid reason, I don't have a configuration file in my sonoff_lan folder?!?

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Hi Hein! Is this for a switch or an automation ?

[@ragenFOX]

the blue led killed it

[@SmartHomeMakers]

It does help at night!

[@ragenFOX]

@@SmartHomeMakers ITS A BLUE LED! I dont want a blue led around my house. It can be any other color but please not blue

[@jackchambers1839]

What if ur switch doesn’t have a neutral

[@SmartHomeMakers]

There are some alternatives, Paul Hubert made quite a few videos on switches without n wire!

Loved your video, but you have spent so much time showing how to setup the sonoff switch, and I wasn't able to see the code for switch the hue lights after all

Hi Rhuan! Thanks for your feedback! I can copy & paste the code if that is useful for you !
