Home Automation - Smartkit

I have one switching a lamp, and another switching the Bridge that connects 4 PIRs. Both can be voice controlled via my Google Home Mini, or manually switched through HA on my phone.

Or are you wondering how to link HA with eWeLink? The service is listed as Smart We Link in HA.

I am thinking of buying another lot.

The first lot I bought arrived in 3 weeks.

I can get them in Bellville for $12 each (for the 15A, 3500 watt Sonoff POW R2)

If any of you want to group buy (minimum 2) then you can PayPal me the dollar amount and I will place a group order.

I'm ordering for myself, but just thought since I will be ordering it should not be an issue to increase the quantity provided you can pick it up in Tygervally.

Just a bump above I think I will place the order today or tomorrow morning, I've received money from 2 people so far and my finger is itching to start the order.

I do sometimes travel to Worcester, Rawsonville as well as Durbanville, Milnerton, Tableview and the City Bowl itself so can always drop it off when I am going in that direction. <- this is a courtesy, I am not a courier or business.

Has anyone tried to flash tasmota firmware using OTA recently? I'm waiting for some switches to arrive before I try it.

Depends which OTA you mean.

Unofficially it doesn’t work.

Officially it does but it more of a pain than just plugging a programmer into it.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking of getting a programmer but am a bit of a noob in that space, any recommendations for a programmer?
 
By far the easiest way to flash switches is to pay Smartkit to do it for you.
 
I posted a while back about dimmer options (doesnt there are too many, as was pointed out). Has anyone looked at these? Looks like a viable alternative for keeping the existing switch, and having dimming. My guess is I might need to put it in the roof and wire it down to the switch, not the end of the world.

Looks very similar to a shelly. Both in form and wiring. Interesting at least.

Do you know what sort of light switch one could use that would allow you to dim via the switch? Looks very interesting though. I use Qwikswitch as it allows me to dim via the wall plate or via HA.

A friend is bringing some of these in currently to check how they work.
They can also be flashed with tasmota.
Im assuming you could build some fancy logic to dim from the switch too (Long press), but not 100% sure on this one.
 
Going to do this. Cool widgets also
