i was working in android app but i donā€™t have android phone for now

24

you need to download this file

here

/custom_components/light

then

in your config file put this

light:

  • platform: sonoff
    host: ā€œyour hassio ipā€
    port: ā€œ1080ā€
25

if someone still needs help write me gerswin(at)parawebs.com, I can help with teamviewer.

26

This worked, although I did have the correct IP in my later test, I wonder if itā€™s more to do with keeping the formatting as raw and no spaces.

Any way this worked perfectly:

{"version":4,"ssid":"MYWIFI","password":"PASSWORD","serverName":"192.168.1.51","port":1081}

I donā€™t see custom_components in configurator, any ideas? Do I create this folder in the config folder or does it exist somewhere else?

28

if folder not exist create a new one

29

Does this need to be inside the config folder?

30

Got it, it needs creating in the config folder:

config/custom_components/sonoff.py

On a side note your vue admin page is great, just wondered is it possible to run this under https?

Iā€™m also getting platform ā€œsonoffā€ not found :frowning:

Hi,

First, thank you for this post and what you created, itā€™s very useful even if itā€™s been quite a challenge for me.

So, I followed the instructions on the GitHub page, and I successfully installed Node Red, and the node-red-contrib-sonoff-server. So far so good, even if I struggled quite a bit.

One thing I canā€™t figure out though: How to access the sonoff server on :1080. Iā€™ve configured it in node red and it seems to be working since I have:

Aug 22:41:29 - [info] [sonoff-server:xxxxxxxx.xxxxxx] SONOFF Server Started On Port 1080

However, when I try to access the server using my duckdns url (https://myserver.duckdns.org:1080), i get an empty response. On 1081, I get access refused.

Both port are forwarded to my piā€™s address using TCP (not sure of the terminology here, Iā€™m just a simple hobbyist).

Questions:

  • Even if I havenā€™t got to the post request part with the sonoff, I should be able to access the server interface, right ?
  • How to properly configure the sonoff server in node red ? I have no clue what the websocket value should be.
32

you donā€™t need node-red

33

/custom_components/light/sonoff.py

34

Iā€™d just use the hassio sonoff server referred to in this thread. It works really well and there is a nice little UI to setup your devices.

You do need to be able to post the commands to your sonoff though. If you use the exact details with postman, as mentioned above you should be golden. Ensure you have your sonoff device in paring mode and you have connected to it as wifi access point, and the ip is 10.10.7.1 as mentioned above.

Iā€™m getting the following error now, I can confirm I have a sonoff.devices.json and a sonoff.config.json.

Error while setting up platform sonoff

    with open('/config/sonoff.ha.json') as f:

Should I assume this is meant to be ā€˜/config/sonoff.devices.jsonā€™ in sonoff.py?

36

create a sonoff.ha.json in your config directory with the content of http://hassio.local:1080/hadevices

i will fix many issues soon

37

great thanks will give it a try

I guess Iā€™ll need to tweak the json from that endpoint a littleā€¦

tomorrow i will publish a new update.

Thanks for your feedback !

Iā€™m at the exact same point as you appear to be.
However, I still canā€™t see the sonoff on the :1080 interface. iā€™m using duckdns, so I guess I should put the address, without the port, under serverName in the post request, right ?

edit: After extensive research, i found this:

  1. The LED indicator quickly blinks twice and repeats, which means the device has connected to the router but fail to connect to the server.

Which is exactly what I have. So I guess it must be due to the fact that Iā€™m using duckdns or something like that, my request must be messed up. Hereā€™s what Iā€™ve tried so far, maybe one of you guys will spot something obvious:

{ā€œversionā€:4,ā€œssidā€:ā€œMySSIDā€,ā€œpasswordā€:ā€œMyPasswordā€,ā€œserverNameā€:ā€œhttps://REDACTED.duckdns.orgā€,ā€œportā€:1081}
