Interesting design:



Bigger than old one. Uses current sensing ring now.

It has a normally closed relay so it is designed to be on most of the time. This would make sense if you are more planning it for the power measuring aspect than switching things on and off. I would actually consider replacing a couple of my POW R2s with it.

Also normal ESP8266 chip. Should be easily flashable to tasmota.

Any idea when the POW R3 will be available in South Africa?

Looks like they are doing a better job than the official Sonnof integration?

That doesn't sound hard... Sonoff did a serious hack job with their integration and IIRC, they didn't want to engage with the HA team to improve it.

 

[furpile]

Not the end of the world I still have a nice big box from the Geyserwise crap in line.

Connectors also look much more appropriate for application now.

Yeah, I am really not a fan of the spring loaded connectors on the normal Sonnof switches.

 

[Speedster]

I believe there is a way to get sonoff to work with local access only and not their cloud.

Which modules work like that?
Does HA work seamlessly with local access?

Currently I’m using SonoffLan to control my sonoff devices.

How do you switch ?

My sonoffs (on SonoffLAN) work with local access only?

 

[Veroland]

My sonoffs (on SonoffLAN) work with local access only?

Mine as well but I still use the ewelink app to link them.

Is there a better way?

Flash with Tasmota probably.

Just to do the initial link up, then no more.

Is it for all devices? Even older models?
Firmware updates needed ?

I'm not sure. I have it on my Pow R2 and a couple of switches.

As far as I know it supports all the sonoff devices and I have used it to update the firmware on the devices as well.

I just normally have to pair in compatibility mode

Have very little experience with this, would appreciate checking my connections for a Sonoff inching/gate switch to my gate motor? Anything I need to be concerned of ?

 

[Veroland]

I can't help you unfortunatly, but what gate motor is it? I want to do the same thing.

Thanks its a Hansa swing motor, this is the remote connection, so im hoping its the same setup (based on this: https://blog.robofactory.co.za/2020/07/making-your-driveway-gates-smart.html)

I have one (different brand, but same thing). Your wiring is correct. No need to bridge the negatives though, they should already be connected internally.

Thanks so much, so the negative connection, can be left empty?

I looked at that Sonoff as well, but it seems that it gives a power output to the gate? I used the Sonoff SV, which can be modified to be just a contactor. That works well on my Centurion D5 gate motor and the Xtrac garage motor.

If you can bridge those 2 ports on the gate motor (where you want to connect the wires) with a piece of wire and the gate opens then you have the correct ones.
