Sonoff Binding without tasmota

chasemixon · February 15, 2018, 1:55pm

I know we can flash the Sonoff devices with the tasmota firmware and connect them using MQTT, but is it possible to just have a binding for sonoff devices without having to flash them… My ability to solder, well, let’s just say it does what a vacuum does… Sure would help us newbies if someone could do a binding for the Sonoff devices… please?

It’s not the answer but you don’t need to solder in order to flash sonoff. Check SonOTA

I actually found another post like mine, with some interesting link to someone who was able to connect to the sonoff device without flashing, but that is way above my abilities… Hopeful!

As already posted above from @PawelGrzembka, use a bit of software and your are up and running within minutes:

OTA Flash only works on Firmware < 1.60
Maybe you can downgrade the Firmware to a older Version? I dont know…
I always solder pins.

I’ll take a look at it, but that looks scary! Sorry I’m such a noob at this!

Can any of you guys help me out here, so I followed the instructions for the Quick and dirty (and easy): installation from unmodified binaries without needing to compile anything or install SDKs, but having to adjust a temporary wifi with some predefined credentials / SSIDs - see the SonOTA for more information.

well now, the sonoff’s I tried are not responsive at all… no lights, no ssid… I think i bricked them… here’s my output from the screen

To reset the Sonoff to defaults, press the button for 7 seconds and the light will start flashing rapidly.
** This application should be kept running and will wait until connected to the Sonoff…

here's what the sonoff's did, they blinked a few times, then started blinking very fast till the light almost looked solid on. then off never to return... :frowning:

chasemixon · March 7, 2018, 12:17pm

Just in case any of you would like to flash sonoff’s over the air, instead of connecting them… here you go!

HugeMutha · September 13, 2019, 2:11am

I have an issue with the wireless flashing method and I’m hoping someone can explain why it’s not working as advertised:
Equipment: Sonoff 433RF Bridge R2 V1.0 2017.11.23
Laptop running Windows 10 - current patch level
Android phone

Method with comments:

Download and install Python3
Update Python3: ‘python3 -m pip install –upgrade pip’
Download SonOtA: https://github.com/mirko/SonOTA - ensure that you download the zip file not just the sonota.py file
Win10 install C++ tools – http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools - this link is broken, I downloaded Visual Studio 2019 Community version from the Microsoft site
Navigate to SonOtA directory and get all the requirements
Run: ‘pip3 install –user -r requirements.txt’ - multiple runtime errors if you skip this step!
Disable any firewalls and Windows Defender
Press and hold the onboard button for around 6 seconds until the blue LED goes solid then flashes in a 3 flash, pause, 3 flash pattern - hold the button again for around 6 seconds and the LED will flash rapidly.
Run SonOtA: ‘python.exe sonota.py’
Choose the IP address for the computer you’re running Sonota.py on
Input your Wifi name and password when asked
Note: if you get the password wrong you will receive no warning
Watch for iTead Wifi SSID and select it when it’s available password 12345678 – if it does not appear try setting the computer to use only 2.4GHz wireless
Reconnect to your home wifi when the iTead SSID disappears.
Select Final Stage Wifi SSID when it appears – This is where I go wrong, FinalStage does not appear - I used the Android phone with a WiFi scanner app to confirm this - I also hot-spotted the Android phone to ensure a good WiFi signal close to the bridge

The instructions carry on, I did not get this far:
14. Connect to ‘sonoff-###” Wifi SSID
15. Configure Tasmota with your Wifi name and PW
16. Reconnect to your home Wifi SSID
17. Find the IP address for your new sonoff from your router, or something like Fing
18. Finish configuring Tasmota

After several tries with the hotspot running, I got this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Python\Python37\lib\socket.py", line 589, in readinto 
    return self._sock.recv_into(b) 
socket.timeout: timed out

I downloaded the eWeLink app and used it to pair the bridge - this worked right off so the bridge is okay.
Anyone able to assist with this?

opus · September 13, 2019, 6:18am

IMHO the “newer” firmware editions did not allow the update over the air, that was already the case when I gone my Sonoff Basics nearly two years ago!

I flashed mine without soldering! Just holding the pins onto the board.

HugeMutha · September 19, 2019, 11:24pm

Thanks, trust the manufacturers to ruin a good thing!

dadd · January 7, 2020, 2:42pm

I bought couple of sonoffs and just flashed without solder. I got the male pin cables and inserted in the respective header holes on sonoff and just laid the sonoff board on the pins from the side they were coming giving a good temporary contact due to lateral pressure of the weight of board itself. held the switch and plugged the usb to pc. then flashed without issues.

mkizito76 · January 8, 2020, 10:08pm

I did the same thing a week ago. I flashed four Sonoff TH16s without soldering and it was pretty easy. I thought there were more hoops going the OTA route
Here is all I used

One CH340G adapter ( WINGONEER 3.3V / 5V USB to TTL converter CH340G UART Serial Adapter Module Golden):
Jumper wires
Tasmota software (tasmota.bin).
I followed the instructions from here

As dadd said, I also did not solder anything. The jumper pins fit pretty tight into the “holes”.
Good luck

swampdogmash · May 28, 2020, 8:58pm

Looks like the newer firmware of the sonoffs mean you can access them locally via local commands - I am not a programmer but anyone fancy trying to figure out how AlexxIT did it for Home Assisstant ?

denominator · July 18, 2020, 10:20am

Just flash tasmota and use MQTT much easier.

delid4ve · July 19, 2020, 9:44am

Not really an answer for the general consumer which wants to jump on the smart home path.

@swampdogmash I’ll be taking a look a little further down the line (just started using my pow r2 I bought for testing) and A: I don’t use MQTT, B: don’t wanna have to mess about every time I buy a new device, just want to wire in, discover and away we go

I don’t think from what I’ve found the POW R2 works atm, although I have got LAN mode enabled in the eWeLink app so maybe it does. Haven’t got time to look right now but it’s on the horizon

denominator · July 19, 2020, 10:01am

All the info on how to make a openhab binding is publicly avalable and I have all the info needed to write one for the sonoff lan mode on my github except for the mdns. You can make it plug and play in a binding to make it easy for beginners if you like.

delid4ve · July 21, 2020, 8:11am

I have already written a binding for lightwaverf so it’s just the Mdns I need to look into. Not got time right this minute tho

candiesdoodle · December 19, 2020, 5:51am

Hi @delid4ve
I have a pow R2 as well for heavy loads.
Were you able to look into how to connect / integrate this with openhab? Right now I am doing a round about by exposing it via alexa binding as a smarthome device and controlling it from openhab. I would love to control it directly without internet from local lan via http/mqtt etc.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

delid4ve · December 20, 2020, 12:51pm

I haven’t yet what with a new baby and Xmas around the corner.

I should hopefully get some time to have a look over the coming days.

It shouldn’t take me too long to create either looking at the api.
