In this Video we will be setting up the Sonoff RF Bridge the Home Assistant. I will show you what you need and all the steps to take your Sonoff RF Bridge, including flashing with TASMOTA, to get ready for use with Home Assistant as well as talk about the good and bad of using RF 433MHz.

Make sure you have a cross-over between Tx and Rx i.e.

So far this is the best video for flashing sonoff . The rest just asking you to cut wire and solder the board. Come on, serial connectors how complicate can it be. Great video.!! This is definitely the right way to do it. No damage to the board.

@riaanvermeulen2564 3 года назад

Great vid. Ordered the items to flash my sonoff bridge with Tasmota.

@HomeSight 3 года назад

Great! Good luck with the flashing!

Just discovered your channel yesterday. Great stuff, learning a lot..

@HomeSight 3 года назад

Hi Brian, only been going for 3 weeks! I'm glad you've found it useful. I have lots more to show yet!

@kellanstevens 3 года назад

Just found your channel and I’m sooo happy I found it!! Love all your videos, you pretty much have every video I’ve always wanted talking about HA and sonoff stuff, etc. Keep up the good work😊

@HomeSight 3 года назад

I’ve got another one in the making at the moment in my Node Red Masterclass. If there’s anything specific you want then let me know on here and I’ll try and sort it! Thanks for watching.

@kellanstevens 3 года назад

@@HomeSight Thanks! I don’t think there’s much else, maybe custom RGB effects? If possible specifically for yeelight RGB strips, and/or setting up duckdns for remote access of HA. That would be much appreciated 😁

@HomeSight 3 года назад

DuckDNS is certainly on the list. I have one due on a simple RGB strip using a Shelly RGBW and node red.

@mattwild5066 3 года назад

I think I just fried my RF Bridge. My fault but to anyone else doing this, make sure the jumper is set to 3.3V on the serial converter - mine wasn't!

@MrBobWareham 3 года назад

oops did you get the blue smoke that you cant put back? I changed mine I soldered mine so it can't be changed and marked it 3v3 and I have another one marked 5v

@HomeSight 3 года назад

Good shout Bob! That smoke is incredibly difficult to re-insert!!

@tommacpherson2646 3 года назад

I think I have also made this mistake, were there any obvious signs that the device is bricked? Mine still has lights etc. but the NODEMCU Programmer just seems to be hanging at "Note:Begin find ESP8266."

@ChrisHolst 3 года назад

Your link for the windows flasher need a lot of explanation... it seems to want to flash something called NodeMCU onto the device rather than Tasmota, and figuring out how to change its mind about that is a bit beyond me.

@HomeSight 3 года назад

Hi! NodeMCU is a device type rather than a firmware. You need to download the firmware as I show in the video. Sorry if it wasn’t clear!

@krisdouglas6536 3 года назад

hi thanks great videos again. Im just setting up my smart home and waould like to avoid buying multiple things that get replaced. I have heard the Boradlink RF is very good, can operate tv etc, would i still need this Sonoff bridge ? do you own the Braodlink rf ? any advise appreciate please :) or maybe a video on it :)

@tikemyson1679 3 года назад

Hello. Thank you for the video. May i ask if this device is compatible with non sonoff pir sensors? I have a few of them. It seems like it does not send encoded radio signals, so i think it should work. What is your opinion?

@HomeSight 3 года назад

Hi, I have a sonoff RF pir which works absolutely fine with it. Thanks for watching.

My Sonoff bridge arrived to day - ordered after discovering your channel last week!! Need to now order the FT232RL and some leads(Probably will order a breadboard kit) My question is my Mac has USB-C/ Thunderbolt 3 ports do I need a USB port convertor? and any suggestions of what type? Many thanks in advance

@HomeSight 3 года назад

Man, I should be taking a commission on this stuff!! That’s great, I guess you can just use a USB C to USB mini cable, if you have one of those, or just usb C to USB A (female). I’m glad I’ve helped!

@NB-pp9ou 3 года назад

@@HomeSight Definitely should off had affiliates links in the description! Liking the channel a lot, its all very well explained, perfect for a noob such as myself. Loving the 'honey im home' at 10:34... or at least I think that's what was said!

@HomeSight 3 года назад

Yeah, I really should! Just doing it for fun at the moment though.

@ericc1214 3 года назад

I curious why some of the videos (pinkywafer) show cutting traces and soldering two jumpers - and yours doesn't. Do you know why that would be required?

@HomeSight 3 года назад

Hmm, I’m not sure. Possibly to ground out to stop the boot, but the holding of the reset button does the same thing I think! It certainly worked for me and has done on quite a few of these devices.

@ericc1214 3 года назад

@@HomeSight I think the modification that pinky wafer is doing has it using ESP home instead of tasmota. And I think ESP home is using a different set of outputs to trigger the transmitter and receiver. I like the direct integration of ESP home with home assistant instead of having to use mqtt

@teddyruxpin3811 2 года назад

I bought a Sonoff RF bridge but it looks completely different than the one in your video. Mine has a white external case and the board has a very different pin layout. Any suggestions?

@SietseLammers Год назад

Same here!

@pictureright969 3 года назад

Thanks, how do I switch off the sonoff bridge without powering down? It is working as an alarm that cannot be put off which is a pain, when I am home or has to keep going off because I am there, unplugging the unit doesn't sound right, what should I do

@HomeSight 3 года назад

Hi, how are you activating the alarm output? Personally I would do this using a node red flow and check to see if I was home before activating the output...

@pictureright969 3 года назад

@@HomeSight you mean ignore the notification if at home?

@pictureright969 3 года назад

@@HomeSight I am testing the unit before installing, at the moment it is a pain

@HomeSight 3 года назад

I’m not sure I fully understand, are you suggesting you want to use it as an alarm? I assumed you had an input I.e. door contact which you are using to set off an alarm. Is that right?

@felipevfontes 2 года назад

@Underlyingglitch Idk what is happening I've posted the reply twice and it is getting deleted. Well I hope u see this: I've managed to make it work! Ive received the FT232R module and at firtst it did not work. I had to manually install the windows drivers. Then it showed the same behavior of my other USB to TTL converter (HW-597) it was stuck on connecting, alternating from ... to ____. Then I was exploring the driver settings on windows device manager and I noticed that by default it was set to 9600 bps and flux control to "none". I changed it to 115200 and flux control to hardware and it worked!. I wonder if my other USB to TTL is fine and the problem was that configuration. Well I won't test now because I've already tasmotized my rf bridge

@MrBobWareham 3 года назад

Hi, thanks for the video I have subscribed to your channel I hope you can help I have a Wemose D1 mini and want to use Tasmota on it will this app do the job please thanks? if yes can you do a video on it please

@HomeSight 3 года назад

Hi, it’s like you’ve read my mind! I’m literally doing a video at the moment getting tasmota onto a nodeMCU. It’s the same procedure for a D1. Hoping to release it tomorrow.

I followed your instructions everything good as far as the HA connection.I get Connect failed to core-mosquitto:1883, same user name and password in HA ,anything special to set in options on HA.

Mine isn’t dead, if I flip the switch back to normal position it still works with the ewelink software as if nothing changed. I can’t get it to connect to the pc. At first I made the mistake to connect TX to TX and RX to RX, but after switching that it still won’t work. It’s stuck at Connecting….

@underlyingglitch926 2 года назад

@@felipevfontes Good to know I’m not the only one. All I read online were success stories, so I kinda felt like an idiot. I noticed I wasn’t using the same serial interface as the one shown in the video. I ordered the exact same model, so hopefully that will help me to flash the device. I’ll keep you posted but it takes a few days to ship. In case I forget, be sure to remind me!
