I just got rflink running and have been playing around decoding which sensor is which around the house. In the process, I found that my La Crosse TX141TH-BV2 is not recognized. It looks like the communication can be decoded (example https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/blob/5e4c7dcf1f4e98c16faf7e3176...

Sorry - by 'server' I meant another device running some kind of software that I have to install/maintain. I can use the in-law's router for wifi, but I don't want to be trying to run something on it (I'm sure it's the cheapest PoS router anyway). So far, using NTP on the Sonoff seems to work well en...

I just ordered a handful of those light sensors and will try them out. However, my overall goal was a *standalone* timer that didn't need a server (router, Pi, etc.) and would be suitable for tech-incompetent in-laws, for example. Having to ensure that both the 'server' and the various 'outlets' are...

To test, I just ran: On Clock#Time=All,%sunrise% do gpio,12,1 endon It's before sunset, so if the sunrise variable was continuously available, I'd expect to see my light turn on. However, it did not, so I'm guessing that %sunrise%/%sunset% are "hour:minute" specific and not something that'...

Is %sunset% something that is set and usable any time after sunset (until sunrise), or is it a one-time event (specific to a hour:minute)? I'm just trying to think of a power outage situation - would I be able to check %sunset% say, 3 hours after sunset, and know to turn the light on? Here in Florid...

wim16 - that fixed it! I came home and the light was on

Now, to figure-out how to do "2 hours before %sunset%" since my house gets dark before sunset...

Thanks for the help!

OK, upgraded to mega-20180716 and will see if that works tonight!

Well, that might explain it! Let me go try to find the newer version and try it out.

Hi all, This is my first project using ESP Easy / Sonoff. My goal is to make a standalone lamp timer that will turn the light on at sunset (actually 1 hour earlier, but I haven't gotten that far). I could do this with Home Assistant or something else, but I'm trying to keep the timer a 'drop in' rep...
