Hi GenGT.
i’ve used esphome flasher. this video helped me in the right direction. ⚡SONOFF POW Elite Tasmota Firmware - YouTube
I guess this video is not in your native language but the enabling the captions might help you.

Thanks, seems the problem is on the usb chip. My USB chip is a CP2102 purchased a usb with the chip ch340 and it works!

So I finally got hold of 2 of these switches (for the pool pump and geyser)
Now between this post and the official ESPhome example Sonoff POW Elite 20a (POWR320D) | ESPHome-Devices I got the switch working fine. However I’m not getting any readings on the power sensors (power current voltage energy) all reading “unknown”
I have another sonoff pow2 which shows everything fine and the have supposedly the same cse7766 sensor.
Any idea from anyone?
Here is my config

@fstof I’ve recently posted a problem with the POWR320D and the example you post, with the switch not working, but readings seems to work OK, not solved yet…
Try tasmota to see if all is working fine, i don’t think is a diferent sensor…
@GenGT do you perhaps have a link to the issue you posted? I’d like to watch it.
I’m not too keen in tasmota, as I like having all my esp stuff running on ESPhome and I don’t have an mqtt broker set up at the moment…
But anyway, I might just give it a test.
Thanks
This is the link
Below you have the link to tasmota. You only have to download the tasmota32.bin, upload to POWR320D, reboot, connect to the new SSID go to http://192.168.4.1 config your ssid, and finally choose powr320d template from the list. You can see all values on the web without configure anything of mqtt
A HA!
That post cleared something up on my config… I had the wrong pin on my uart (RX instead of GPIO16)
So now mine are working fine (relay and sensors)
Is fine to know it works for you, could you paste your config so i can see why my relay isn’t working?
Thanks
Here is my config
Note, some of the button functions I removed as I won’t be using the screen

Finally!
Seems the problem is on this code
lambda: |-
if (isnan(id(w_sensor).state)) {
return {};
} else if (id(w_sensor).state > 4) {
// Running
return true;
} else {
// Not running
return false;
}
I’m making test without having anything connected to the output, and this code seems that only works if a device with consumption is connected…
Yea not sure about that, because it was working fine when I tested with no load on the output.
this lambda is a little confusing, I need to still try and understand it, there is a lot of simplification to be done in my opinion
This is how i solved this part. You don’t need the lambda part… Now also working without load. (sorry don’t know how to publich the data in the way You people do
switch:
- platform: template
name: $friendly_name
optimistic: true
id: relay_1
# lambda: |-
# if (isnan(id(w_sensor).state)) {
# return {};
# } else if (id(w_sensor).state > 4) {
# // Running
# return true;
# } else {
# // Not running
# return false;

Hello
I confirm with these #lambda settings…
The switch works.
But after reboot or power outage it doesn’t show status in HA.
edit
is it possible to go back to the original sonoff firmware ?
Hi, you can go back to the original sonoff firmware via serial, but only if you have a backup from the original firmware. I have no problem with the status… Try with tasmota firmware, if you select he correct model all will run out of the box

Hello there,
I tried every trick in the book and then some.
My recently bought sonoff powr320D works fine with tasmota but not is esphome.
I tried even the basic CSE7766 Power Sensor examples. Esphome 2023.5.5 CSE7766 platform doen’t respond at all. It gives no readings. Not even in logs. I checked the chip on the PCB and it is the CSE7759B-SO.
Maybe CSE7766 platform it is not working properly with this chip?
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Hello, after debug uart on powr316 & reading CSE7766 datasheet, i add the line “parity: even” on uart config . Now i can view every electrical data. perhaps it can help you ?

Perfect. That does the trick!!!.. Thanks Chris
uart:
rx_pin: GPIO16
baud_rate: 4800
parity: even

Thank you. I will try that. In the meantime I have tried a different approach.
It also seems to work commenting out the “baud_rate” line in logger.
logger:
level: DEBUG
# baud_rate: 0
uart:
- rx_pin: GPIO16
baud_rate: 4800
sensor:
- platform: cse7766
Agree.
Even commenting out the the ’ level: DEBUG ’ line works.
logger:
# level: DEBUG
# baud_rate: 0
uart:
rx_pin: GPIO16
baud_rate: 4800
# parity: even
I came across this thread after dealing with an issue of not being able to turn off the relay on my Sonoff 320D.
After looking at the code copied from Sonoff-POW-Elite-20a I came to the same conlusion that the Lamda code was the problem.
# if (isnan(id(w_sensor).state)) {
# return {};
# } else if (id(w_sensor).state > 4) {
# // Running
# return true;
# } else {
# // Not running
# return false;
# }
I don’t know the rational behind the code but there is a serious problem with it.
If there is no current flowing you cannot turn off the relay. In my use case I am using this to switch on an immersion heater. If the immersion heather thermostat cuts power to the heater you cannot turn off the relay supplying power to the immersion heater.
I have updated the ESP code to comment out the Lamda code as other have done and now have proper control over the relay state.
