[@TechnoShare]

Thank you! Newer version of the 4 channel switch may be available. Do check it out! Thanks for watching 😊👍🙏

[@wizz747]

@@TechnoShare Well noted, thank you. Do you have a separate video for the new version? And are there any new functionalities with the new version?

[@TechnoShare]

I dont have the sonoff 4 ch pro R3 version. I have the R2 pro version, that's shown in the video. The newer R3 pro supports self locking and interlocking mode on the app itself. So you don't have to flip any hardware switch inside the sonoff device. Please check the new features and differences on this sonoff page. sonoff.tech/product/diy-smart-switch/4chr3-4chpror3/

[@Evan67600]

Also I have a follow up question. Does the app allow for a scenario where when switching " ON" e.g. Bulb 1 , it can automatically switch OFF bulb 4 , Finally can the device be integrated into the google smart home app. Also does the device require a hub (e.g. ZigBee) or does it work with a remote server (e.g. Tuya). Does the time remain active in case the WiFi is down? Thanks 🙏👍

[@yassokarim2228]

Great instructions. Thank you. I have an iPhone and i want to name the switches on my screen instead of saying CH1 to CH4. I want to customize it. Please advise

[@TechnoShare]

Thank you! Yes. You can rename the channel name to any name by going to the settings - > basic info - > Name I tried it and it works! Thanks for watching 🙂👍

[@yassokarim2228]

TechnoShare: The only option on an IOS device is to change the Sonoff name. Not each one of the 4 channels. Or at least i do not know how to do it. I would like to enter 4 different names. One for each channel

[@TechnoShare]

@Yasso Karim I was able to change it on my ipad air, for all the individual channels. I don't have an iPhone. But I am hoping the software may be same. On android as well, I was able to change.

[@Evan67600]

Great video ! In case the e.g. 4th bulb is connected on the always "on" while the others are connected as always "off" and using the inter-locking mode , would switching on bulb e.g 1, 2 or 3 would also switch on bulb 4 ? Thank

[@VALAR_Morgulis.]

Can we assign high loads like TV fridge and ac And product looking very good and great but modes are use less

[@TechnoShare]

Hi there! It supports total load of 10 Amps max and 2200W . TV can be connected. But you need to check your fridge and AC power consumption and then decide accordingly. I personally have not connected high power consuming devices. Thanks for watching!

[@HariharaprasadVellala]

Very nice video. My requirement is to automate the entire house and I need 4 to 6 of these boxes. Then how do I connect them and control them.

[@nikolaskyr1987]

Hello there, i want to automate my roller shutters with sonoff. My main issue is that i want also the normal switch on my wall as my wife or kids they dont have access to the smart app/switch. What is the best way to install a sonoff but also the wall switch stay functional. Please advice...

[@TechnoShare]

Hey there! Yea. I have heard the same question from other viewers also. However, this switch does not offer that feature. Unless you want to use the small buttons on the sonoff device as manual switch. Please check, if sonoff has any other type of switch, that can give the desired behaviour that you mentioned. I think I had come across few videos on KZbin where they had demonstrated this behaviour. But I think those may require some hacks. I dont recall. Please check it out.

[@rich22111]

Will the remote control still works if there is no network connection at all. So no signal at all. I just wanted to use the remote control key to turn my light on/off

[@NivaldoPinto1]

Very nice presentation ....well done.

[@TechnoShare]

Thank you 👍🙂

[@stephengibb1020]

Argh!! spent hours trying to get the RF433 to work with a 4Ch3 (which replaced a faulty 4chpro2) only to realise the non-pro edition units dont support RF signals! Guess I'll stick with the app or buy a pro version again to get the RF remote control functionality back.

[@TechnoShare]

Hehe. Yea, got to pay a little attention on the product page while ordering, as one can easily miss to select the pro, as they look almost same as the nonpro one. Good luck with your next purchase 🙂

[@abdulelahalahmad5249]

Thank you! Can i use interlocking mode with inching mode together?

[@abdulelahalahmad5249]

I mean i can only turn one channel, but if it is turned, it turns off after 1s ?

[@TechnoShare]

Thats a nice question! I think, it will not work. Reason: There is a mode switch S6, that we need to set, and it can be either in Interlock mode or Self-lock/Inching mode. So, when we set it to interlock mode, the inching mode is disabled. When set to Inching mode, the interlocking mode gets disabled. Its also mentioned in the documentation of the swich as follows:. "Please note that if S6 is toggled to the right(0), your 4CH Pro is in interlock mode, it’s invalid to set K5". Here K5 is the config to associate individual switches to either Inching or Self-locking. Hope this helps!!

Can it work with the sonoff th16 sensors?

[@TechnoShare]

Hi there! Nope. It will not work. There is no sensor port on this device.

[@leehedger5056]

Can this be connected to a mobile phone hotspot instead of a router? Thanks

[@TechnoShare]

You can. But you need a 2nd phone (as far as i know), in order to configure the router first time. I remember trying this once, and found that I had connection issues. Many a times, the switch was not responding to the commands on and off. (I had tried this on the sonoff single switch model)

[@muhammadimrantarar6996]

Our farm is 2 km from our house. Where we want to operate some electrical appliances from home via a remote controlled device. We also have Wi-Fi networks there to monitor some cameras and some security devices. This Wi-Fi network has also been attached to the Internet. The question is can we use the SONOFF 4Ch Pro R2 device to operate the device at home or anywhere on the internet? Or this device can only be used while on site Can this device be operated by more than one user?

[@TechnoShare]

Hi there! Good question and i appreciate your thoughts on your idea to use it. So, this device needs wifi with Internet to work. Once it is connected, it can be controlled from anywhere using the mobile app. Can control it from smartphone connected to mobile network as well. Regarding the users, i have tried to login to the app, using same account credentials on a second phone. It will login to the second phone and show the connected device. But it will immediately logout of the account and session on the first smartphone. So, one session can be active at any point of time across multiple phones. If login again on first mobile, it will logout from second phone and login on first. Hope this helps. Please do give this video a like 👍. Also consider subscribing to my channel 😊. (if not yet).

Very good video. Can I use these device to control my light from lond distance, like another country or from another state

[@TechnoShare]

Thank you! Yes, you can. Just need to ensure you have the sonoff switch connected to the Internet all the time at home. And your phone has an Internet connection to control from another country. Checkout my other videos on sonoff switch. You can find more details there! Thanks for watching 🙏👍🙂

[@ideacreteinfra4186]

Great video keep me update with entire range of sonoff

[@TechnoShare]

Thank you 🙂

[@thathaitch]

Great video thanks for explaining this device. Can I connect this device to ceiling lights that use 4 gang wall switches (aka dumb switch). Can I use this device to make those 4 switch smart? I have used a Sonoff Mini for a single switch but I wish to make a 4 gang switch smart in the same way. How can I connect a physical wall switch to this device?

[@TechnoShare]

Hi there!! Thank you!! Yes, you can make the Fan and lights smart, but I dont think we can use physical switches along with this sonoff switch. As you can visualize, it would not work. Say, you switch on the light using physical switch. And switch it off from your mobile app. But the physical switch will remain still ON. So, now, ideally, if you switch off the physical switch, then the light should come ON. But, this will not happen, as it is a single way switch. (not a 2-way or 3-way). Infact, the moment you switch it off, the sonoff switch may lose power. So, tracking the states of the switch is the concern here. I have come across few pages on the internet, where people have tried 3-way switches etc. But not sure if it worked.

[@youcanhelpothers5514]

What is the rang ,we should to keep of the distance between sonoff divice to phone

[@TechnoShare]

It works on wifi sir. Sonoff device needs to be in the wifi range in your house, so that its connected to the Internet. Your phone can be anywhere in the world. As long ad you are connected to the Internet (could be on different wifi network or on mobile network) , you can control the device. Hope this helps! Please like👍 the video and subscribe sir. 😊, if you found it useful. Thanks

[@kw1984]

Would this still switch if the internet connection was lost? Basically, does it need a constant internet connection to work or could time schedules be updated in an area with internet and then the switch be moved away from internet access and still switch as programmed?

[@TechnoShare]

It needs internet access to work as programmed. In case of Internet unavailability, the light can be manually controlled by pressing the physical button on the sonoff switch.

[@raymondgolfere3313]

Good day sir, i wanna ask? Is it okay i use my mobile data instead of wifi? Thank you and god bless.

[@TechnoShare]

Hello Sir. If your question is for connecting the switch, to mobile Wi-Fi connection, using mobile data, then, from my personal experience, the connection was not consistent. And I had issues turning on/off the switch using the mobile app. It could be due to the network and cellphone signal strength. However, if you have connected the switch to a broadband Wi-Fi router connection, then it works perfectly fine. In this case, your smartphone dont need to be connected to the WiFi router. You can operate the switch using mobile data connection, from anywhere on this planet 🙂 👍, as long as you get a mobile signal! Please do like and subscribe to my channel, if this helped!!

[@Creative.B]

Can this be used with wall sockets instead of light bulbs? The reason why i’m asking is because my sockets draw 16A (220-240V), but this device is only rated for 10A. I definitely don’t want to fry up the Sonoff or even worse, my home appliances.

[@TechnoShare]

Hi there! I don't think this is a replacement for wall socket. We will not have any control over the appliance that we connect to the socket. As a result you might end up connecting more power hungry appliances without knowing, and it's a big risk. And yea, for sure it cannot exceed the rated capacity of the switch ie 10A. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching 🙂

Hi how many SONOFF 4 Channel switch links to the app. For example if I wanted to connect to eight light so I have to use two sonoff 4 channel switch. can I control both the switch at the same time by using the app ????????????

Hi there!! I have 2 modules in use. 1-channel and 4-channel. and both modules are working on the same application, simultaneously. Every device in the 4 channel can be controlled independently from the App. I have not tried with two 4-channel devices, as I have only one :( . Hope this helps!! Thanks for watching 🙂.
