The new Sonoff DualR3

michel72 · March 4, 2021, 5:08pm

Got this working today, just power metering is still an issue.

Working:

Both relay’s
Both switches
Button
Status LED

Not working:

Power metering (feature request@esphome.io)

The actual power metering chip on the DualR3 is the CSE7761 which is not supported by esphome yet.

The config below and more information on our website:
The new Sonoff DualR3 is here! - espthings.io

If anyone knows how to get the power metering working, please leave a comment here or on the website!

Thanks

There is an API available now:
http://developers.sonoff.tech/sonoff-diy-mode-api-protocol.html

michel72 · March 12, 2021, 6:25pm

That’s great news for people who rather not solder wires to their devices (like me)

zigomatic · March 13, 2021, 9:02am

There is also this : https://github.com/AlexxIT/SonoffLAN

michel72 · March 13, 2021, 10:09am

Nah, all my devices are in esphome, so the Dual must be no exeption

zigomatic · March 13, 2021, 11:15am

This device is a ESP32 and having BT as well used I guess only at first pairing.
I did some tests with a momentary switch with the ewelink application. It works good.
This is what I need because all my house switches are momentary. Some of them have a “pilot light” in 230v on it. Now, I’m trying SonoffLAN with or without the need of external cloud.
What is the advantage of esphome VS tasmota VS official firmware with DIY method ?

michel72 · March 13, 2021, 11:50am

Well with the original firmware you are limited to whatever functionality that offers. Using esphome you can config it however you want, even use bluetooth.

samnewman86 · March 13, 2021, 2:00pm

Does it still have the two sets of headers inside like the R2? They were invaluable for my latest project

michel72 · March 13, 2021, 3:09pm

It’s all in the article: The new Sonoff DualR3 is here! - espthings.io

zigomatic · March 13, 2021, 3:10pm

Some more informations from this post on tasmota: https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/discussions/10793

More info on this cool little switch - https://youtu.be/VT6bY-iSveI

michel72 · March 23, 2021, 1:33pm

Great video!

Let’s hope esphome will support the CSE7761 rather sooner then later

digiblur · March 23, 2021, 1:56pm

Not as many hoops for iBeacon on the Esphome side so definitely!

lednicazar · April 15, 2021, 9:49pm

Any updates regarding the power measurement?

zigomatic · April 23, 2021, 1:08pm

It works great with tasmota

goancea · January 22, 2022, 1:03pm

Hello all,

The new SonOFF DualR3 is using BL0939 cip, and for the moment this is not supported.

https://datasheet-pdf.com/PDF/BL0939-Datasheet-ShanghaiBelling-555458

Tasmota supports this cip, and probably support in ESPHome will be added.

Dons anyone have any news regarding this cip.

Holdestmade · January 22, 2022, 3:48pm

I have a couple of these and they use the CSE7761platform for power measurement in Esphome. Are you saying current ones have a different chip ?

goancea · January 24, 2022, 9:41am

Yes, there is a request for bl0930 support

And also here:

Holdestmade · January 24, 2022, 10:05am

Oh right thanks I’ll bear it in mind if I get any more.

Giuseppe-P · September 2, 2022, 9:26pm

hello I think the CSE7761 sensor is now available in Esphome, have you integrated it into the firmware? I also have all Esphome and I should get a sonoff dual r3 to use it on led bars. my intent is to remove a relay and put in its place an irlz44n MOSFET to be able to dim the bar in DC 12v, and the on-board relay that remains to disconnect the power supply automatically when everything is off.
