This is why using an internet connected socket becomes useless - a two second delay is fine as long as it is always two seconds, but of course, it will vary from a half a second to several seconds which is hopeless. Even connecting to your local WiFi router will introduce varying delays, albeit smaller ones. That is why I designed the app to connect the Android device directly to the power switch rather than go through the home router. It's an extra hassle to connect to it, but it removes all those varying delays (it also means the power switch is not connected to the Internet, which is a good thing given the amount of IOT hacking going on!) My Basic R3 will be delivered tomorrow and I can have a play :) |
Awesome, I'll hold off buying one myself until you've tested it. 👍

thank you for your feedback and detailed answer! Re 1) You are right. I use the test strips mode in AUTO mode and it is really good. No problem with that. One additional question: Is there a way how to turn off the green led inside the Sonoff Basic??? I think I have read all the posts in this thread but have missed any such information. Daniel |

thank you for the answer. I hoped it would be possible to turn off within the FADU code. But I guess if it was possible, you would have already done it ... I will go the MacGyver way then :) Daniel |

Did you have a tinker with the basic R3? Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk |

That being the case I have decided to drop that idea and investigate reprogramming it with the timer firmware via OTA in a similar way people do with Tasmota (which has the advantage that other people have already done that!). I have a few other things on the go atm so it may be a week or so before I can have a serious look. Cheers, Bob. |
Hello Bob,
I'll try to use the sonoff device. I can by a sonoff r2 or r3. Does the code work on the R3? Can I reprogram it via OTA? Thanks a lot, Ariel |

I expect it will still work OK - as long as they have not changed the i/o ports etc. - and even if they have, the sonoff code is on github and is trivial to change. Good luck! |

Another question. I have a router that I’m not using. I can configure a special wifi network with only the router, the phone and the sonoff, without internet connection. If I configure the sonoff r3 in that network (without flashing the firmware), does the timer app work? Or it needs your firmware on the device to talk with the app? I’m sorry for the questions, buy I’m trying to avoid the solder part of the process. Thanks again. Ariel |
