Hi Welcome to OpenHAB.
To awnser your question.

  1. yes.
  2. most of us reflash them with custom firmware (Tasmota , ESPeasy & espurna)

Depends on your liking. most of my Sonoff’s run Tasmota. i run some of my switches with espurna .

they run mostly with mqtt.

Its very easy, read this https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Getting-Started/ Although some sonoff stuff comes with diy mode which will make it even easier.

You may also want to watch a few YouTube videos about flashing the sonoff and the different IDE’s for flashing. I like using Atom but there are several that work about the same.

Hi Mohamed
i dont think that one reply in the fourm will set you to the full path
my advise is keep wacthing , this kinds of videos , not all of them are gold
but you can learn allot , just watching someone else do it… for exmaple you will need somthing to flash with… there is allot ways of doing that , maybe you have somthing at home that can help you
like a RPI?

There is a new tool called “Tasmotizer”, wich makes flashing very easy.
