iTead has a new 433mhz Sonoff RF Bridge on the way.  The R2 just hit the FCC and internal photos are included! It looks like they are using the same molded case as the the Zigbee Bridge and first revision(s) of the RF Bridge used.  They've dropped that big LED as well.  One thing I'm not seeing is the RF chipset they used this time around.  But I do see the ESP8285 and header pins!  We probably won't see the pins soldered on in the production runs but it is a nice touch that they labeled everything for us and put standard header via holes.  It's almost like they want to continue making money off both sides of the community that use these.  Imagine that, what a concept, make something that sells.   FCC Docs and the money shot!

If you just came for the ESPHome Yaw Mill and don't care about reading or looking at my cool pics, you know the drill, go like and share my stuff, you&

  Purchase the Outlet on Amazon  Especially in 2021 there really aren't many devices that you can flash over the air with Tuya Convert .  The Gosund Smart Outlet is one of them. Features: Dual Outlets Dual Buttons Dual Relays Dual Relay Status LEDs Single channel dual Link LEDs ESP8285 for Tasmota! Power monitoring (both outlets combined into a single channel) (take note iTead Sonoff !)   Even if you decided to flash it OTA, having that backup option for recovery is an awesome thing since the pads are pretty easy to get to with a Torx bit (no glue or breaking anything!)   One oddity with this outlet are the buttons.  Instead of using the available GPIO pins on the ESP chip they tied them to the analog input on the ESP and the buttons pull down the A0 pin with two different resistor values.  No, pushing both doesn't combine them, it just follows the least path of resistance of course.  Don't just snag the template below and run, you need the Rule to control them!   After yo

  If you've been using your Zigbee bridge with the ZHA integration and don't like some of the oddities of buttons using ZHA Events, etc or simply just want to detach from HA, or even enable support more devices; it's time to jump on over to Zigbee2MQTT.  Previously there wasn't the ability to use Zigbee2MQTT if you were using the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge.  It is currently in the development branch of Zigbee2MQTT if you want to give it spin.  Trust me, it's well worth it!!   Still using your Sonoff Zigbee Bridge with the cloud?  Take it out of the cloud with this guide!  https://www.digiblur.com/2020/07/how-to-use-sonoff-zigbee-bridge-with.html iTead also is now selling their USB 3.0 dongle that uses the same chip as the Zigbee Bridge.  It is preflashed with correct firmware out of the box that can also be used with ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT using the same procedure as below with the USB port. If you are using the ZHA integration at this time I would suggest removing all your

Treatlife SL10 RGB CCW Transplant By boilerboy165   The SL10 comes with a WB8P chip inside which cannot be flashed with Tasmota or ESPHome. In this guide, I will go over the steps on how to replace the MCU with an ESP8266 esp12 board. My bulb uses an SM2135E chip to control the colors on the bulb. Thankfully Tasmota can control the SM2135E. Tools Needed: ·          Soldering iron & solder ·          Wire cutters ·          Small side cutters ·          2 smaller flat blade screwdrivers or spudgers ·          Razor blade ·          Esp8266 12E ·          30 AWG and some larger 20-24 AWG wire Teardown: Let’s walk through the dismantling of the bulb. There are a few other guides out there but this is what worked best for me. Disclaimer – I am not responsible for any injury, damage, emotional, or physical harm if you follow this guide. This is dealing with high voltage. Do not power the bulb if it is open. You are doing this at your own risk. Start with removi

The U6 added significantly more usable real world coverage on the 5ghz band. The impressive part was using a clean DFS 160mhz channel and being able to saturate the 1 gig ethernet uplink to the U6. I bet it could do more if it had a 2.5gb ether

Purchase the Sonoff L1 Lite Usually most of the LED strips I've run into that do some sort of music sync have a chipset that isn't DIY friendly.  That quickly changes with the Sonoff L1 Lite LED Strip.  A few quick specs: 12 VDC RGB LEDs (no dedicated white channel) Length 5M (not waterproof) 30 LEDs/m And best of all ESP8285 Wi-Fi chipset To flash Tasmota on the controller it is pretty straight forward except for one small issue.  Typically you need 3V3, Ground, RX, TX and GPIO Zero to flash an ESP chipset.  They did break out every thing on some nice pads for us on the back except for one small piece, the GPIO zero pad.   Solder up your 4 connections on the back to 3V3, GND, RX and TX.  These will attach to your USB TTL adapter like normal, you'll need to reverse RX and TX of course, RX to TX and TX to RX.  Attach a small wire to Ground as we will need to manually hold this wire to a the Gpio0 pin on the ESP8285 while power is applied.  Be careful to not ground out anythi
