I’ve been waiting ages for the Sonoff Basic to get some input terminals for a wired switch. Looks like the new Sonoff Mini is what I’ve been waiting for.
Just received an email about this. it’ll be a nice addition to light switches etc.
I am sure the various firmware versions will quite quickly update for support if it.
Hey mate, how did you flash yours?
Mine arrived today and the solder pads are tiny!
@Bedza would you be able to do a little write up on how to flash it using the “DIY API” mode? I read some some manuals and it seems pretty complicated…
That showed me that you first need to setup a wifi hotspot with these details…

Then there is a small jumper that comes with the device and you need to install this. This will make it connect to the wifi access point you just setup.
The DIY tool is pretty basic but found found the sonoff and let me turn it on and off etc…
The video showed a button that lets you upload your own firmware… The tool doesn’t have the same button but does have one called “Brush machine” which seems to do the same thing. I used it to upload the tasmota minimal binary.
BUT, looks like the sonoff isn’t rebooting and creating the standard Tasmota wifi access point
Looks like I may have stuffed it up because obviously now I can’t even get the original itead firmware to boot up… Worse case I’m going to have to attempt to solder some wires and flash it the old fashioned way…
Hi,
I have used four needles and flashed as it would be Sonoff basic. On the internet there is also Picture showing soldering Sonof Mini. I have not tested the DIY method.
My Sonof mini is working for couple of days without any problém.
Those things are super small, two in size of one basic and heigh is bit lower than basic as well.
Flashing is super easy, push button, connect ftdi, release button, flash and enjoy tasmota
Hi, could I use this to control blinds with the Tasmota firmware? Sure it can control both channels (up and down) but would it be able to recognize / learn the end point switches or the signal when the motor hits the final maximum position? Like with a Fibaro and likewise?
I am going to use 3x mini to control shaders (Somfy). three buttons: UP, DEFAULT(or stop), DOWN.
Pulsetime=3 in Tasmota console settings.
No limit points to be checked (not aware of better solution). This will work with Homekit.
Any other idea on using Sonoff mini would be appreciated.
