I haven’t seen much on this lately and was having some trouble figuring out how to get into the Mini R2 DIY mode without the jumper. I tried using the c to c solution and it worked pretty well until my Ewelink connection had to be reset, so I figured I would give Tasmota a try. This is what I came up with to flash my 4 mini R2s with Tasmota and get them connected to Smartthings.

  1. Power on - hold 5-6 sec twice until steady flashing blue LED
  2. Connect pc to wifi network now transmitting from device ITEAD-XXXX, p/w 12345678
  3. Enter IP 10.10.7.1 in browser and connect to Sonoff DIY page
  4. Start sonoffDiy hotspot on phone with p/w 20170618sn
  5. On Sonoff DIY page, enter sonoffDiy pw 20170618sn, click OK and wait for Wifi Configuration is complete notification

  10. Select device–not easy…play around until it will flash, usually have to cancel and tray it a second time
  11. After device restarts, tasmota-XXXXXX-XXXX wifi should be available
  12. Connect to it on pc and 192.168.4.1. Tasmota page should open
