Thank you. You actually explained how they worked together really clearly, which is a lot better than their actual website. They should link this video.

[@TalkingstuffNet]

Thank You 🙏, I'm glad the video helped. 😄

[@TeaTimePhilosopher]

@@TalkingstuffNet and i got the system up and running. I can now be at the top shed and turn on the bore pump for water on my phone. I couldn't have completed that without your video. Thanks again.

[@TalkingstuffNet]

Glad the video helped 😁

[@apoorvpradhan5933]

Great video 👍🏻👍🏻 Each and everything is demonstrated nicely 😄 These devices are really great, can make any old device work like a IoT ! and now the size is also reduced. At first, I didn't understood what is S-mate for, but after a demo, I got it and it's pretty cool, but I can't find any use case scenario for it 😅😅

[@alfredofenoglio]

How long does the battery last?

[@iot_enthusiast]

Looks cool. Have you tried flashing tasmota on these devices?

[@lewiscassidy1793]

Can we use smate to trigger basic r2 via scene on ewelink? The point is to trigger it remotely with basic r2 instead of using minir3.

[@akhileshvishwakarma8693]

Nice video 👍

[@MetronusPrime]

Build quality is WAYYYYYY better than the R2

[@jeand1977]

Hello, Great videos. I installed the S-mate and mini R3 the distance between them is nearly 5 meters but the S-mate is not giving the order to turn on,once I remove the S-mate from the electric box it works good and when I put it back it stops working.please need your advice is there a way to improve the S-mate connection. thanks

[@TalkingstuffNet]

Is the electric box metal, maybe it's blocking the signals?

[@edgardo1166]

Hi if my internet goes down, can I still turn off the lights using my wall switch?

[@AidanSkoyles]

NOT IN THE US -- in US black is hot, neutral is white.

[@digyourrig3800]

I cannot connect an S-Mate to a sonoff R3 Lite? I wanted to controll both channels with the S-mate.. Can you explain what Im doing wrong?

[@jmd28522]

What about miniR4... does it works with s- mate too???

[@davidp_cz1261]

Nice video, thank you. Is possible to control the Mini R3 module using mobile data? I am not sure if I have to be connected with cell phone to the house wifi network. Thank you so much!

[@TalkingstuffNet]

It works via mobile data, the R3 needs to be connected to Wi-Fi, but the phone doesn't. You will need active internet for both devices though.

[@davidp_cz1261]

@@TalkingstuffNet Thank you very much!

[@ansh5671]

Can you please make a video how to install Sonoff Dual r3 2 gang please ?

[@TalkingstuffNet]

You want to install two Mini R3's ?

[@poovaiahp1533]

hi.. Can i connect it to a 10hp 3 phase irrigation pump..?

[@poovaiahp1533]

if not.. is there any way round it

[@TalkingstuffNet]

I think these switches have a 10 amp limit. It cannot be connected to high power equipment.

[@matteoromero]

Can power be added so the battery is not required?

[@TalkingstuffNet]

As far as I can see it doesn't have any power inputs, but will check with sonoff to make sure.

[@easyon54]

Do you think this supports hearing impaired notification that a doorbell camera rings? We have in the USA 20 million hearing impaired and deaf Do you have ideas that help blinking light doorbells this Sonoff that can scene or group lights lamp or wall switch smart switch?

[@TalkingstuffNet]

You can't try setting up scenes where compatible devices can trigger turning a light on or off. This could be via Amazon Routines or using the e-welink app.

[@nohaabdelhafez9609]

If we connect s mate with mini r3 by wires do we have to remove the battery

[@TalkingstuffNet]

I've never removed the battery with or without the smate.

[@nohaabdelhafez9609]

Can you make a vedio how we can wire it

[@TalkingstuffNet]

I've show it in the video.

[@SanilSahadevan]

does the s-mate work with a momentary push switch? does it have a toggle option for the same??? or is it compatible only to rocker switches??

[@TalkingstuffNet]

If you turn off the smart device using any other method (voice,app) the s-mate toggles in reverse (on becomes off and off becomes on). It may work with momentary switches, but I've not tried it.

[@cinderellabai9360]

Toggle the "DIP switch" to the another side,then it will work with a momentray push switch

[@pranabeshd]

how many mini R3 can be controlled by one S mate?

[@TalkingstuffNet]

You can only link one s-mate to one mini-r3.

[@pranabeshd]

@@TalkingstuffNet got that. By how many mini-R3 to one s-mate? Is it 1:1?

[@dreadlysmellybum]

Are these hue compatible ?

[@TalkingstuffNet]

Just to turn them on or off, but not control them. These are controlled by the ewelink app.
