Re: Sonoff basic r1 failure and decay after prolonged use

Well, today I have replaced 3 sonoff basics with 1 Shelly 1 and 1 Shelly 2.5 that has 2 relays. Will see how they will show themselves. What I like about the Shellies is that no soldering required to flash them (for 2.5 needed to solder small connectors to my Dupont wires, it has small flashing head...

Re: Sonoff basic r1 failure and decay after prolonged use

I've been installing some Shelly switches (both with and without power measuring), that have, besides somewhat better reliability, also the advantage of 2MB flash memory, allowing for OTA updates without the hassle of 2-step OTA or serial flashing. And of course they run on ESPEasy :D Thank you for...

Re: Sonoff basic r1 failure and decay after prolonged use

Well, seems like sonoff basics are dropping like flies, I don't think that it is feasible to repair them. So, this brings me to question - what will be the most reliable and cost-effective replacement in 2021? I still want to keep the espeasy because it is a familiar firmware and I can easily transi...

Re: Sonoff basic r1 failure and decay after prolonged use

Thank you for your replies, much appreciated! Maybe you can point me in the direction on which parts should I replace first? Is it voltage regulators that can go bad or should I start with capacitors? As for the firmware, I tried to upgrade to latest mega version on one unit, but it won't help. Eith...

Sonoff basic r1 failure and decay after prolonged use

Hello, I have a situation with multiple sonoff basic purchased at the same time and now slowly failing. All devices were flashed with Espeasy r120 or r148 at the same time. They worked properly over 4 years, but now I see that they are starting to fail. Main symptom is that they are losing wi-fi con...

Re: Sonoff Basic + wall push button with pilot light

So I reconnected led to the pin next to 3.3v, I can see that led is glowing, but much less than on 3.3v, it glows as much as on gpio14, but without interference. So far so good. I disabled serial port and tried to control it via GPIO1 but with no effect ,it won't turn off or on, just stays glowing a...

Re: Sonoff Basic + wall push button with pilot light

Reporting progress, I connected led separately as per toffel969 suggestion, good news that interference is gone. But led now is very bright, like two or three times brighter than on other switches, even those connected to 220v. I will see how well it works in the night, but I am not sure if it is ap...

Re: Sonoff Basic + wall push button with pilot light

Something is wrong with the forum today.
Ok, I think I should revert to first suggestion and connect led separately, will try to do this on a weekend.

Re: Sonoff Basic + wall push button with pilot light

Use the internal pull-up for GPIO14 ? Or Use a pull-up resistor of 100K for GPIO14 to 3V3? I enabled internal pull-up, it won't help, however without it things are much worse, switch goes off randomly even when wires are not connected to led and I touch them with bare hand. Would you elaborate on c...

Re: Sonoff Basic + wall push button with pilot light

Ok, so I followed suggestion from kimot, connected LED straight to gpio and ground and LED lights up allright on two switches. But, strangely, while one of sonoff is working perfectly, the other one is giving false positives (switch turns on and off on itself, as if I pushed the button). Both config...

Re: Sonoff Basic + wall push button with pilot light

If I understand correctly you want to : 1. Use the Switch as push button for the Sonoff 2. Have the LED lit up to improve visibility at night For 1. Connect the Switch between GPIO14 and GND 2. Does not need to be attached to GPIO, but only to 3,3v and GND. Thank you, that is clear explanation, exa...

Re: Sonoff Basic + wall push button with pilot light

I have touched legs of led with wires, coming from sonoff and led surprisingly worked, so maybe there is no need to attach additional resistors. However, I wonder if connected led will somehow affect how espeasy reads signal from push-button, wouldn't it think that button is always pressed?

Re: Sonoff Basic + wall push button with pilot light

Ok, so I took apart one switch. I found inside led with some components, should I bypass all of them and shunt + and - directly to legs of led?

Sonoff Basic + wall push button with pilot light

Hello, I am running an installation of multiple espeasy sonoff basics. To toggle them I use wall push-button switches, which trigger GPIO14 on sonoff basics. Wall push-button switches have blue pilot light led inside, which is intended to make them visible at night. But I can't figure out a way to m...
