Sound interesting.

I m thinking of this too. Wonder my Arduino can do or not.

Now in the mid of expanding my solar system. Some light point will be run on led with DC voltage. All charger and dry cabinet on solar power. I might need some remote monitoring, triggering and controlling.

Don't understand why such a simple devise can't operate ownself. Got to use cloud.

Next in line, "Alexa, appoint me as the president of my country."

my things now all ship to SG, lesser tax involved
then only we bring it back to MY

ship to MY sure kena 20 + 10 la, barang sure exceed rm 500

This cost more than buying a ready build August or Sony smart lock 

My Sonoff finally arrived! Weird thing is SF-Express sent it to me from Sweden via normal Swedish Post so Pos Malaysia delivers it. Its like they gave up and use the airmail ....lol

Anyway, the Sonoff is quite small, seen here side by side a portable HDD

Installing it is also very simple - just two inputs L & N and two outputs. One thing I feel is the terminal block is rather weak. Its soldered into the board but when you tightened the screws, the block will move a bit to one side. I worry that the solder connection may break and may cause some arcing. This can be solved by taking off the cover and hold the terminal block down while you tightened the screws.

I installed two Sonoff for 1 table lamp and the other I installed it in an extension cord. On this extension cord, I have three other small table lamps. So one Sonoff will control all three lamps and whatever else I plug into this extension.

For the extension, I did not cut the Earth wire but route it inside the Sonoff box - Only adjustment is that you have to cut a bit of the top cover (see pics)





Just make sure all the wires are clear of the screw holes for the two side covers. The two side covers will hold the wire in place, it has some teeth.



Extension Finished -


The other single table lamp -

Short circuit ?

OMG 😲 just two rows away?
Build quality is okay except as I said the terminal block not so solid only.

Check this YouTube
He didn't say anything about bad quality so I think should be good

Same here. Not more than 20 watts for my application
Saying the neutral and Live too close is bs. There are others like the Fibaro switches I think much closer due to the tiny size of the device. The angmoh in YouTube also having no issues with them

That YouTube angmoh is a user
I never did read any reviews

Dunno wo...but it's rated for
Max current: 10A
Max Wattage: 2200 watts
Dunno the standby power and don't care cause it won't be more than my mechanical timers

I won't try it at all.

I will only drive it max 5A.
