Description

Yes, the famous IoT (Internet of Things) from Sonoff/Itead Studio is finally here, on Cytron Marketplace. We like it because it is an actual consumer-grade product that can be used right out of the box, and because it uses the famous ESP8285 (which is similar to ESP8266) on the device, it can be hacked too :) Although you will void the warranty of the product, it never stops the maker spirit. So what is Sonoff Smart Switch, it turns your devices into the smart item:

This is a WiFi Smart Switch with the DIY capability that makes it possible to control connected devices via the eWeLink directly from your smartphone or ask it to turn on/off devices with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Check out how easy to make your appliance smart and pairing the Basic R3 to your smartphone, in less than 5 minutes:

Check out this video from FusionSource - 3D Printing that demonstrates how easy and fun to use it out of the box, connecting to eWeLink and Google Home:

Amazingly, in R3 (Revision 3) it has a DIY mode that is the firmware that can be user-defined. Built-in a web server that exposes the REST API, which allows you to connect the switch with your existing home automation system. Compatible with Vera, Fibaro, HomeSeer, Savant, Home Assistant, etc, for the protocol document and the code for the DIY Mode tool (updating), please go to this Github page. Here is the video from Sonoff showing the DIY Mode 2.0:

Of course, you can also use it by simply set a timer to let your devices switch on/off automatically at a pre-set time through a day. For example, prepare your coffee maker in the evening, and a cup of coffee is ready for you the next morning. Compatible with the IFTTT function, and you can make more actions happen to trigger other devices or receive a notification on your phone once the action was triggered.

Along with support for smart scenes, just set a device to turn on/off to make another or a boatload of devices turn on/off. The LAN control is designed for situations which no available Wi-Fi connection, or an unsteady Wi-Fi network environment. A convenient option that is share control is capable of allowing you to manage the same device with your family or friends together, simply share it on the eWeLink app to try.

Note: Sonoff BASIC R3 does NOT have a 433Mhz RF receiver module. If you want a DIY smart switch with RF function, please get yourself the Sonoff RFR3.

Note: As this device deals with HIGH VOLTAGE Electricity, please be cautious when using it.
