Hi,
This is not HA specific, apologies for that, but I get the feeling this is the place with the most knowledge about this problem.
I’ve installed 6 identical Sonoff basic devices in various light switches in the house. 2 of them are giving me issues, 4 are working perfectly. They’re all configured the same afaict (although at this point I’ve played with them a lot that I lost track).
This post will focus on one of them (I think the other one is a hardware/power issue).
Basically, It’ll turn off randomly.
The setup: Sonoff basic is in the wall light switch. It’s a rocker switch.
2 wires are soldered to gpio 14 (followed this vid: https://youtu.be/ab472a40-co?t=111) and are connected, one on each side, to the switch. Power is going into and out of the Sonoff.
SwitchMode, PowerRetain and PowerOnState are:

Here are the logs from the light off incidents:

This is only happening with this light. The rest are fine.
Its wifi signal is probably the strongest of all the other switches as it is the closest to the router.
I suspect it has something to do with the loss of connection for some reason and that line with
cmnd/sonoff7/POWER =
but not really sure what to do about that.
Thanks!
