Yes, I've added a Sonoff basic to my study light. But I flashed it with ESP Easy firmware so it can works without internet.

What can it do with no internet compare to original firmware?

He show me those Cisco brand 20k router. Nothing special from the casing look.

My router supply by the maxis. Once in a while will haywire wan. Specially when traffic high.

Same function. You still can remotely turn it on/off via internet or LAN. Timer is also working. And it's more responsive than the original firmware.

The main purpose I flashed it to ESP Easy is I can ask Siri to control it and do automation.

Well not true. Even commercial grade WAP router also do hung up once in a while. Even cellphone transmission tower also auto-reboot on heavy load. My cheap router from TM, I can never recall when I need to reboot it.

The expensive wireless router and home router use the same wireless chipset. The expensive one normally have more RAM and faster processor. What makes it more different is mostly the software side. More configurations and settings. It is more flexible because it is needed for different environment.

got step by step instructions? thanks

There's a few firmware available (espurna, tasmota)
Why do you prefer esp easy firmware among others?
I just flash tasmota since it was recommended from a sonoff tutorial that I saw

I shared the instruction at https://github.com/seikan/homebridge-sonoff...aster/README.md

If you have questions, welcome to discuss together

I'm a lazy person, ESP Easy is very easy to flash without additional IDE.

thank you

Forget it la. You won't do it wan la.

you know me too well.....

I can read your mind.

I know you think just download the firmware and upload to the sonoff and done.

But seeing it need to open and solder, buy the pin, wire and the USB communication with some lenght of instruction to flush the firmware, forget it.

No need to solder actually, you just put in the pins and make sure it stays in place and start flashing

The sonoff that we buy, don't have the pin.

I got a better idea, can we just pay you to help us do it? Haha! Now that would be a good idea don't you think so?

If you are in Penang, just pass it to me, I can do it for you for free.

I think sonoff don't have header pin.

What he mean is that you can just buy the male to female jumper cables and put it on the 4 out of 5 slot there. Make sure the cables not moving while flashing.

Hope it helps.

Yeah, like this
Just need to get those jumper cables and ftdi ttl chip
Also, there's no going back to itead firmware since they're not open source once you flash custom firmware
Make sure to also have mqtt server running (if you have raspberry pi, you can install on that)
This tutorial should cover everything

Now can give me the English version.....?
