Can I cloud host my sonoff ?

I have a server which have cloud function too.

That plastic part similar like this. That plastic is freaking fragile and easily break. It is very hard plastic from PRC.



If you want to replace, you need to know the step down voltage. And it have many layer wind if step few voltage. But mostly this transformer is special make manufacturing.

Either solder back join the wire. That 2 broken wire together is a continue wind wire into the transformer. It wrap on 1 of the pin. So both solder together is alright.

what radio channel were you streaming previously? China stations?

I think you can, just need to have mosquitto mqtt running on that server.

None, seems like sea shipping (kerry express) excluded

just wondering are you guys somehow using tm?
i have streamyx and also faced the same problem connecting to mihome apps sometimes when on wifi thru phone, but if i switch to mobile, everything works smoothly.

anyone facing same case?

Probably tm problem?
I've switched to digi infinity and no issues so far

yup, that's why i think tm is blocking connection to china.
but not confirmed since i don't know how to test.

Now I'm worried it might affect the wifi camera since they need to connect to china server

i think i need a replacement.
the part already broke before they put it in
they try to cut cost and solder the wires to the board instead of soldeing the missing bobbin pins

I not sure you can find it. Without know the spec, quite hard.

My best advise is forget the pin. Solder back it by join the wire. And solder the wire into the board.

Unless I have the material, can rewind back. That yellow wire material is not normal wire also.

If you want to get it from elements14 or RS that transformer, better just throw away and get a new sonoff. Cheaper.

cannot find, iteads wrote and said "its customized" to their requirements
nevermind, just going to keep the board as a spare
its free anyway since i didnt have to pay for it

Alamak, don't have in my server apps this mqtt.

The cloud have is only this

boss no need so susah. your schedules still can run without any network or input from their server

You're gonna need to install it manually

ON/OFF from ewlink/phone ?

Just want to know another option. This sonoff is not a big company. Close shop anytime.

Oh. Thanks.

Now I know have another option incase...

MiHome app back to normal. Everything working fine. But the Ewelink still got problem, all the devices still offline

Yea, Mi Home app yesterday suffering connection problem.
Push notification late arrival or not arrive at all.
Configuration fetch also very slow.

Luckily now everything alright.

Hikvision Recorder Alarm Out Push Notification using Xiao Mi Smart Home System

Problem Statement:
Smartphone push notification from Hikvision China set CCTV recorder via cloud service can't be use outside of China.
This is especially when you do not have China working phone number, which will be required to register their cloud service.

Pre-requisites:
1. Xiao Mi Smart Home magnetic door/window sensor.
2. Two relatively tiny wires, any length within 100cm will do
3. Soldering kit

Solution:
Using magnetic door/window sensor from Xiao Mi smart home system, push notification to smartphone can be achieved by connecting Hikvision alarm out port to the magnetic door/window sensor using wire.

1. Unpacking the Xiao Mi magnetic door/window sensor and throw away put aside the magnet (smaller) piece, which yield you the electronic side of the magnetic sensor unit.


2. Dismantle the cover of the magnetic sensor unit and you will quickly notice the coin battery. By using a magnifier, Look for the printed text "GND" and "DI+" on the circuit board, highlighted in red box. You will be going to solder wires on the two holes.


3. Strip the wire on both sides. First remove the coin battery, and then solder one wire on the "GND" hole and the other wire on the "DI+" hole. After completed soldering, ensure no short between the newly soldered holes.


4. Put the coin battery back to the sensor unit. Try shorting the two wires. The blue LED light on the sensor will blink upon shorted connection, and blink again upon open connection. This proves that your soldering is working fine, and your sensor unit still alive. Putting back the sensor unit cover.


5. Now insert one wire to your Hikvision recorder Alarm out port indicated as '1' and the other wire to the Alarm out port indicated as "G". Push the orange button on the terminal with tiny screw driver before inserting the wire.


6. Pair the Xiao Mi magnetic door/window sensor unit to your Xiao Mi Smart Home gateway and configure the automation in Mi Home app. Please take note that for this case, the condition for automation you want to use is "Window/door closes", and then you can add instruction to send notification to your phone.


7. If you previously set up motion sensor and then output alert to alarm out port on your Hikvision CCTV recorder, then you will receive notification on your phone once there is a trigger.


Conclusion:
Alternative solution for smartphone push notification alert from Hikvision CCTV can be achieved through Xiao Mi Smart Home system by using Xiao Mi magnetic door/window sensor with proper soldering, connection and configuration.
Push notification can be received immediately when Hikvision alarm out triggered.
