very nice software for sonoff basic

Post by hansiart »

I have a very nice software for the sonoff basic that i want to share. This software has extended possibilities. It is not just a switch. You can connect various sensors. This makes the sonoff a thermostate, hygrostate, lightsensor, bodysensor and more. All configurable via its webinterface.

It works together with Domoticz very well, but it can work completely stand-alone,
Domoticz can control it and sensordata can be transmitted to Domoticz.

The control is clear and intuitive, its webpages are optimized for a phone. Easy to connect to your wifi,
it opens an AP with config portal, just connect to it, browse to 192.168.4.1 and provide your credentials.
The button can be used to switch, reboot and reset.

There is a Dutch and an English version. The picture reflects dome pages from the UK version.

Nice, looks great. Is there an English version of the manualsite? You would reach a larger crowd....

Compared to Tasmota firmware, the advantage is the possibility to connect sensors? The remainder of functionality is mostly the same I guess. The possibility for sensors creates many new use cases for the Sonoffs. Could you give suggestions of sensors on your site? (I mean where to buy, and type?)
Domoticz beta, on Raspberry Pi 3B, Raspian Buster
Zwave, Zigate, RFlink etc.

Hi friends, glad to see that there is some interest in my efforts.
To answer some questions:
Compared to tasmota? Actually i cannot quite work with tasmota, too complicated for me. I developped this software to make it suitable to use as a birthday present as it is operable by noobs. It's funny to build a sonoff in an old wall socket and give it to your friends as a nice present that they can use to switch the garden lights on, 10 minutes after sunset or so. With the touch sensor the can operate the switch manually. This is just one possibility. I use them to switch the pump of my floor heating and save unnecessary pumping energy.
One difference i think, is that it can work completely stand-alone.
When you visit the manual, under the pictures you find a chart that shows what sensors can be used. They are the cheapest you can buy on ebay.

I am working on a English manual. The preliminairy version is already available

Good luck with trying this project. When you unexpectedly don't like it you can easely flash other sw over the air.
