Sonoff BasicR3 openHAB development

If you are asking for payed developer time: create an Issue on https://www.github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons and add a bounty to it.

The code will be published under the Eclipse license version 2.

The New Basic R3 have three key differences

–Change the enclosure material
–Improve the RF performance
–Support DIY Mode for LAN control

We have attached a demo DIY mode tool and API protocol on Github, you can refer to below link.

Thanks for your reminder.

In the future, Sonoff will launch more devices with DIY Mode LAN control.

Let us look forward to it. :slight_smile:

I attached a API protocol link with a demo DIY Mode tool but was flagged as spam.

I just ordered 2

Why is this github link flagged?

Here it is again…

Sorry about the flag. The forum software is configured to not allow new users from posting multiple links to the same domain. I’m looking into how to unhide your second post but it looks like halloween has posted it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

There is unfortunately no “real-time” interface (like MQTT, websockets, server-send-events, http long-polling) to retrieve the state. A binding would need to fall back to polling :confused:

@Zhan_Sida, is it still possible to flash these with Tasmota ? I much prefer their configuration options.

Yup, you are still able to flash Tasmota firmware, but the device is no longer coverd by Sonoff warranty.

Why You don’t support MQTT? That would be easier for everyone. Many similar devices have ability to turn on MQTT.

The available mqtt libraries for embedded devices have either memory leaks or cause memory fragmentation. On the other hand there are very mature, block-allocating http implementations.

Personally I do understand why they have gone with http. But some kind of real-time channel like websockets, server-send-events or something udp based would have helped.

Those are great news Zhan. Looking forward for more products from Sonoff with DIY for the ones that do not want to use the manufacturer cloud neither flash the devices. Please also include on the wish list a Basic R3 RF with dry contacts since that is key for many integrations and avoid unsolder the rele from the PCB.

I Cant wait to get Sonoff devices binding for Openhab. Flash Tasmota will be really waste of time if you have many devices. Not only R3, I hope binding with Sonoff Touch switch will be available soon.
