Recently i flashed a Sonoff S20 with ESPHome, but that was based on a guide from the ESPHome website. So i’m quite new to using ESPHome. But from what i understand from the site is that most Sonoffs will work. So could i use the same code (without the led control part) like this for the S55:
I found here that this works with a template in tasmota. But i’m hoping to use it with ESPHome as this is where i already have a few devices connected.
I don’t have any of these but reading the tasmota template you have linked
the code you have posted has the correct pins, which is the same as a sonoff basic
I don’t know if there’s a LED on them or not but the tasmota template has one defined on GPIO13 (again the same as a sonoff basic)
Also I have a S20 thats using exactly the same config as a sonoff basic. So your S20 config should work with these S55’s
Did you have to flash the socket, any way - by flashing I mean, if the hardware needed any interaction - or you only had to use this code in the configuration?
I’m a bit affraid of these tasmota sockets, because earlier they needed hardware modifications.
This is a Sonoff device. You can use it with HA without modifying it or you can solder pins onto its board to install an alternative firmware (ESPHome or Tasmota for example)
I’m actually looking into buying a S55… But never used sonoff and I see a lot of different types of guides on how to get it in Home Assistant. Even some mentions of devices no longer being able to be flashed.
What would be the current way of doing this? ( adding the S55 to Home Assistant I mean )
Thx for the help! I tried searching and found some older samples of people flashing it ( older as in several years ), but was unsure the hardware changed or not.
In regards to the links, I do have to say I did not keep track of those while searching, could be it’s from people who rather struggled with the ‘how to’ on flashing than actually the hardware not being able to be flashed.
Is there any indication if it is in programming mode or not?
I have a programmer on COM4. If I don’t press the button the device boots normally, the LED indicates connection via Wifi and I can even change the relais with a press on the button. If I do press the button during startup, no LED, but also no connection.
