Home Automation - Smartkit

I see they've upgraded the firmware to 1.8.1 ... Anyone able to find release notes or anything added?
 
Hmm OK... Ota firmware flashing is a shyte ton harder than it should be.. Gonna have to get the cables to do it I reckon
 
As usual with hobby electronics stuff I don't have the one small part I need... In this case some SIL male headers...

If you can run a VM you can do anything.

Just saying. :)

The security stuff that gets installed even injects itself into that world....

Its very pervasive... but understandably so even though its highly annoying when I want to do stupid shyte like flashing Sonoff units :)

Not if the hardware resources are not available to the host os... (eg blocked USB ports)

Yeah sure if you have those limits then you are buggered.

In my case I can at least access USB but it’s for forced encryption.

Enter the VM.

The joke though is that in the modern world nobody cares for USB when there are cloud services...and I have access to all of them.
 
Hi,

I purchased 4 Sonoff Basic units, with Tasmota software last week, however, I am struggling with these devices.

I have them connected to my network, and they are stable on the network, however, as soon as I add the MQTT configuration, the devices will not stay connected on the network. Below a ping:

I have tried this with 2 of the devices so far, and the same behaviour persists across devices.

I haven't really made use of MQTT - does anyone have any ideas?
 
Odd. Mine are rock solid with mqtt.
How's the wifi signal strength?

And MyBB forumites still get the 10% discount with the coupon code MYBROADBAND. The exchange rate has crept up again, so we won't be seeing this price on the next batch.
