Are there one or two types of Sonoff Basic?

Steveuk23 · February 11, 2018, 9:48am

Sounds like it’s not flashed right.
Tell me the name of the file you are flashing onto it.
Try flashing it again maybe you’re not getting it into flash mode are you soldering the pins in our holding them in place

Saif313 · February 12, 2018, 7:15am

The file name is “Sonoff.ino.generic.bin”.

I flashing it by getting it into flash mode by hold that button with blugin USB cable.

Steveuk23 · February 12, 2018, 9:23am

Yeah that’s the right file.
Have you checked your connections to the switch are they soldered ok maybe you have the TX and RX connectors the wrong way.
And have you got it set to 3.3v not 5v?
Maybe you’ve fried the board with too much power.

Saif313 · February 12, 2018, 9:54am

I check TX and RX connectors it is right

I used 3.3V

Steveuk23 · February 12, 2018, 10:19am

There’s nothing else I can think of then lol
I suggest you look through that sonoff page that I linked above and see if anyone’s had similar

Saif313 · February 13, 2018, 5:07am

Thank you very much for helping me.

i will try again flashing sonoff …

Saif313 · February 13, 2018, 8:46am

(What is mean “GPIO0 MUST LOW.”)
What it is mean ??
is it mean press hold that button in sonoff?

Steveuk23 · February 13, 2018, 9:26am

That basically means the button has to be pressed down to get it into flash mode.

Try following this.

[RELEASE] Sonoff, Sonoff TH, S20, Dual, 4CH, POW, & Touch Device Handler & SmartApp ($5 & $10 Smart Switches) Community Created Device Types

I got it working. I don’t know exactly why or how, but I read through a lot of the ESPEasy forums and pieced together information. Flash it using NodeMCU flasher here: https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flasher In Config set the first box to the path of the sonoff firmware: [image] Then under advanced set Baudrate to 115200, Flash Size to 1MByte, Flash speed to 40MHZ and SPI Mode to DOUT. Then press flash under operation. Wait until its complete. Then disconnect the programmer, disconnect TX/RX, plug the programmer back in with only VCC and Ground, wait for it to boot, reset the wifi by holding the button for 10+ seconds, then connect to the wifi and configure it as usual.

Saif313 · February 13, 2018, 9:54am

Yes I did that to into flash mode.

I will try agian and follow your link.

Then I will back to you

thanks

Saif313 · February 14, 2018, 4:38am

Thank you very much bro @Steveuk23
I tried with one sonoff and the flashing is working fine
After I modified the advanced set Baudrate to 115200, Flash Size to 1MByte, Flash speed to 40MHZ and SPI Mode to DOUT

Then the light of sonoff is working. That sonoff was connected with WiFi and added in ST app.

I will try to connect the flashing sonoff with light to check if it is working or not.
But I think it will work

Steveuk23 · February 14, 2018, 8:47am

Yeah…
Success
Got there eventually it should work fine with a light of it’s switching on and off

Saif313 · February 14, 2018, 11:27am

Yeah
It is work
Thank you very much my freind @Steveuk23

adam_walker tried to help me but I don’t know what is wrong.

Please, help Me

Steveuk23 · February 14, 2018, 12:06pm

You’re welcome what was causing the problem then?
I don’t have one of them switches but have just had a quick read up and I’m guessing your simulated switch isn’t set up right.
Delete the one you have and install this one as I’ve just read a few posts with people saying this one works.
And once installed it needs linking to the real one I’ve not read how you do that but presume you know that.

I delete the old one (simulated switch) and I install this one. But still same, it is not work.

After I created the virtual switches, I have three Switches. One is orginal and other Two are virtual Switchs. The original is working fine But the virtual Switches are not working.

Steveuk23 · February 15, 2018, 10:57am

But after creating the simulated switch it will need linking somehow to the 2nd switch on the plug.
You can’t just create a simulated switch then expect it to do something.
My guess is the device has a second on/off command that you provide link the simulated switch to through WebCore or similar.
But I’m just guessing as I’ve not got the device or read any info ,
Your going to have to read all the instructions on how to fully set it up

Saif313 · February 15, 2018, 7:14pm

Thank you very much for trying help me

I did the following things:

I create new device handler (Aqara 2 Button Wired Wall Switch)
I create Simulated Switch (DH)
I Add new SmartApp (Virtual Device Sync)
I pair New Device (Aqara 2 Button Wired Wall Switch) by using catchall
I create Two Virtual Switches with original switch( But the Virtual Switches NOT work)

I didn,t read about link the simulated switch with webcore or similar

Steveuk23 · February 15, 2018, 9:07pm

It must be the virtual device sync that’s linking them.
You’re probably best asking on the page for your device as I don’t know much and them

Saif313 · February 16, 2018, 2:11pm

Thank you very much for helping

Have nice days

Are there one or two types of Sonoff Basic?
