Newbie but willing - openhab with Sonos

Tutorials & Examples

1

Hi, I’m very new to OH so need some general guidance.

My goal is to have a black box setup of OH with Sonos devices ready to be installed

My question:

  1. I saw some guides on enabling raspberry pie as wireless router, so is it possible to use openhabian and configure it as wifi router as well? Goal is to have a close loop connection of openhab and the devices

  2. Does all sonof device needs specific tasmota firmware?

  3. Is there a way to backup the original firmware on sonof devices?

TIA for responses,

SONOS or Sonoff? That 2 completely different systems.

Look at this

or german

I think you are talking about GitHub - arendst/Tasmota: Alternative firmware for ESP8266 and ESP32 based devices with easy configuration using webUI, OTA updates, automation using timers or rules, expandability and entirely local control over MQTT, HTTP, Serial or KNX. Full documentation at so Sonoff.
You just need to flash it once. After that you can select the Module type of Sonoff.

I don’t know about that one. But I never wanted the “original” firmware first place :smiley:
Maybe @ThomDietrich knows something about the “original” firmware

Hallo @Faisal_Susanto,

Please check out the big exhaustive thread on the Sonoff devices. It doesn’t make sense to repeat all details here. See: ITEAD Sonoff switches and sockets - cheap ESP8266 Wifi+MQTT hardware

Regarding your question wether or not the Tasmota firmware is needed or if you need a backup of the original firmware, please read:
