Hey guys, I'm in progress implementing my house into smart home. Currently working with some codes. It's 80% working now and hope to share the result with you guys soon! I'm a iOS user, so all the devices will manage by my iPhone and Siri.

Devices I currently have:

1. Raspberry Pi 3 (As server)
2. Sony Smart TV
3. Aqara wall switch x 8
4. Mi Air purifier
5. Mi Robot Vacuum
6. Mi Motion sensor x 2
7. Mi Temperature & Humidity Sensor x 6
8. Sonoff switch x 2
9. Mi Gateway

I managed to turn on/off the Mi camera from Siri now.

If you are using homebridge, you may try it out.

Finally, I managed to flash my Sonoff switches to use ESPEasy firmware by some soldering works. It's very stable and easy to use now. I managed to include it into homebridge so it can fully controlled by Siri.

Anyone tried putting Sonoff into the light switches?

Say I wanted to use one of the on/off light switch to control a few lights in the living room wirelessly. Initially, I just switch it on/off with my fingers, can I splice the Sonoff into the switch to control wirelessly?
*
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?
*
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.

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

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.
