I can’t say. However, they do fit the EU ones with room to spare for wires and connectors.

esphomatized :star2:

This is EU i believe, I have similar but wont fit UK wall due to depth.

85

@benji did you have to open and use ttl cable to flash esphome ? or you can use tuya convert? thanks!

86

I didn’t even try Tuya Convert. I just opened them all up and started flashing via programmer.

Regarding my post here: Wifi Wall Switch WITHOUT TOUCH (1,2 or 3 Gang) - #79 by benji

I ordered another switch as I ended up needing 6 instead of just 5. The new one arrived but:

  1. It has a different main board inside. Sorry, forgot to take pictures before I mounted it.
  2. I was unable to flash manually, however, Tuya-Convert worked.
  3. The buttons feel bad, mushy and not very haptic.
  4. Has blue and red led’s, not orange and green.
  5. The inputs on the back are swapped around.
  6. The new ones are marked as X803A, the old ones are X803 (sans A)

I ordered from the same seller and same listing but got a different product. be aware I recommend the X803. I unfortunately cannot recommend the new X803A.

EDIT:
I messaged the seller asking if I can return the X803A & receive the X803 and got this response:

hi friend, because switches come from different batches, so there are little different, hope you can understand
if you really can not accept it, you can supply return it to [redacted] local warehouse, our products support 15 days no reason return, but you need pay return shipping fee

So I will be stuck with one shitty switch!

How did You guys flash tasmota on X803A it with Tuya convert? I plugged Lin and N and tried to hold 1st switch for some time leds started to blink but no success ;/

89

Can You advise how?

The newer product batches may have that upgraded PSK so TC will not work. Serial flashing is the only option.

That is what I use for the most part for my light switches, which allowed me to keep the charming old school toggle switches throughout my home (these switches are much easier to flick when you reach around a dark corner, no? …and they give the affect of a ‘sleeper smarthome’ :wink: ). The exception being cases where the mains line in is one one box, and load output is in another box, you either need non-standard momentary switches or more wires between the boxes (I use jasco’s for those situations). Shelly makes some killer little devices. I have no affiliation with them, but from my ‘maker’ perspective seeing what they managed to pack in to such small devices is very impressive. Their size makes them feasible even when a j-box is near max capacity with lots of wires stuffed inside. Add to that a ‘safer’ supply chain vs ali-specials (how many devices running how many hours before a fire starts?)… they even sell UL listed 2.5’s.

Signal reception is good as well; this is big when stuffing inside j-boxes. I’ve got one stuffed in a box down low in the front yard… signal goes through 3 drywall/wood siding walls at a sharp angle, through a stainless refrigerator, through some granite countertop, and past a tower computer box (yes beige baby!) to reach the shelly 2.5 about 40’ from the router. I’ve got others shelly’s 60’ from the router, penetrating 2 walls, a 3’ thick brick fireplace, and a 75" lcd tv etc… they work reliably @ <=70db signal (from an ac86u router). My shed, 100’ away from the router past several home walls and a brick garden wall, is the only place shellies don’t work well (zwave is good there).

I use shelly 2.5’s on my bath fan/lights… get both fan and light with one tiny device… and I get power and thermal safety monitoring as a bonus. I also use shelly 1pm’s and dimmers as well. The 2.5’s and 1pm’s can be flashed with whatever 8266 fw you like (I prefer esphome). The dimmers can’t be flashed just yet, but their cloud free mqtt option combined with a python discovery script makes the dimmers very user friendly either way.

92

Any idea how to connect the flasher than ? I’m thinking to have a 3 wifi switched of this type to control 3 way switch (programmed in tasmota) o use 3 zigbee with Node red & zigbee2mqtt but this will be dependent on HA server to be online and working.

Refer to getting started document on the Tasmota site; it’s well explained.

Couldn’t agree more!

Just moved into my new house in the beginning of this year and started using the Shelly together with some sonoff mini’s. Really like the Shelly implementation nobody has to know about the smart home stuff. Also the possibility to switch lights in random places is amazing!

Are you aware of the shelly dimmer being supported by ESPHome in the future?

Interesting, thanks for the heads up. I will be keeping an eye out for that release for sure.

I just received my 3 gang switch and I got the green leds (standby) with red (turned on) variant.

The model on the product is X803 with P/N X803A-0001 but on the box the model is X803A https://prnt.sc/uu6kku

I was able to flash Tasmota manually. I tried soldering the pins but I’m not that good at soldering so I ended up clamping the pins https://prnt.sc/uu6g5j

For anyone interested, this is the Tasmota template I use:
{"NAME":"Lonsonho X803A","GPIO":[0,0,0,18,17,19,0,0,21,32,22,23,0],"FLAG":0,"BASE":18}

It creates 4 toggles: the first 3 for the 3 switches and the 4th for toggling the background LEDs to green

Bought from: aliexpress[DOT]com/item/4000289352430.html (replace [DOT] with .)

Hi, where did you buy these from?

Update: I previously ordered a Lonsonho 3 Gang switch to test if it was working how I wanted and now I ordered a batch of them to use in the whole house. Even though the seller confirmed they would be the same batch as I the one previously ordered, they aren’t.

The previous order I received X803 with a P/N written on the back of the product and X803A written on the package box (https://prnt.sc/uu6kku) and now I received X803A and without a P/N written on the product and the same box as the previous (https://prnt.sc/vhcejc).

I also noticed the previous product had a sticker on the back and all the specs are written on it, while the new products have the specs written directly on the plastic. I peeled the sticker and there’s nothing written under it - I had the impression that my previously ordered product was actually the same as the new products but they added the sticker with the model name without the A at the end and the P/N number to cover the original specs, but they didn’t.

The new product is still the same as the previous one, it has the same green background light and the same red light when turned on. They have the same internal board and I was able to flash them using the same method with Tasmotizer.

So, all in all, the products from https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000289352430.html are working properly :slightly_smiling_face:

After a good year of use it seems one led just died.

According to this: https://templates.blakadder.com/DS-102_3.html it’s GPIO 16. The left one.

Any chance to replace this? Or getting at least informations about the type of led?
