Sonoff Basic Smart Switch turns anything into a smart device 

Thank you for putting this video out. My dad spent hours trying to get these switches to connect without any success and with your video, I was able to help him get everything connected within a few minutes.

Thank you very much for the video, I spent about 1 hour and couldn't set up the device, after watching the video do it in 1 minute

They work great, I have integrated these in with Alex and Insteon technology. $6 dollars instead of $40 per box.

simple tutorial! 👏Thank you

thank you for the password tip! SUPER HELPFUL VIDEO!

im not speak inglish but i like of your vídeos

Thanks for the video it saved my life !

Maybe I should by that soon 🤔

Thanks Dad!

Love from india bro

Thanks! This helped, because I could not connect it... So frustrating :))

The device you use is what I would call a receiver. The receives WiFi communications and switches power on or off. Is there a Sonoff transmitter with a dry contact input (instead of for example a push button or a phone). I have a Victron battery monitor that has a relay contact output and want to switch devices based on battery state of charge.

These can also be used as a contactor controller if you want to run a high current load through a contactor. Don’t run a high current load directly off these!

Thanks for the info. Great video. 👍

Great video. Thanks for posting it. I have a quick question, did you have to do anything special with the setting in your phone like WIFI settings where you would need to allow others to join the network?

Thank you so much! Can I combine that switch with an smart bulb and enjoy the the features from the smart bull like dimming ect?

Thanks for the sharing, HandyDad! Do you think I can install this for a light which works with a dimmer?

Thank you sr..

Great Video, thank you

Cool stuff like that !!!!!!!!!!!

IMO, spending a few bucks more for a Kasa smart switch (Indoor or Outdoor models), and having a more robust and reliable product that's Google Assistant compatible and doesn't require ruining the appliance wires is worth the extra $.

So are pulling out your entire Insteon system and installing again in the new place? For me it would be daunting I have around 50 switches and various devices strewn around the house.

Thank you so much!

Hello, thanks for the video, it is very useful. I have a question when I connect to an access point, it tells me that I am connected without internet. What am I doing wrong? The switch is connected but without internet. Thank you very much for the help

what happens when power goes off and comes back again ? do we need to connect manually or does it connect automatically?

Great stuff. I just stumbled across your site. I currently have traditional switches and bulbs, would my best bet for you lights to be replace with smart bulbs? My goal is to use Home Assistant to control and automate. Not sure how to determine which bulbs would be compatible or if this is the best direction. Any insight apprreciated.

Thank you so much, work for me

What about three-prong grounded plugs?

Awesome work, will it work with a battery operated device? I have an idea to create an alexa routine "light up christmas" and everything christnmas will turn on including some battery operated devices, (Christmas Houses)

Does sonoff sale a wireless switch to control the device on and off? Reason I ask is cause when I leave the house I would like for people to be able to open and close the switch.

Can these be put in the wall? Behind a regular plug or a light switch?

Is it a one way switch? i mean, if i turn off a lamp by its switch, can i turn it on via the app and vice versa?

In the UK all our leads have an earth wire, if this is not conected and a fire started because of that the insurence would no longer be valid.

Will it work if there is no wifi connection at home and I have to switch on/off the lights connected to it from my phone at the office miles away. Thanks.

Is there a way to connect it to a bigger 3 prong multi outlet extension cord?

Will this work with an Electric Fireplace? My current smart plug turns the fire place OFF but will not turn it ON.

Does it ever show offline on the app when the device is not used for hours??

Hi HandyDad, is it possible to incorporate the Sonoff Basic in a sort of three-way switch setup? So that if in case there is no internet connection i can still switch on the light using the traditional switch?

U r great

so i got further with your video than i have on any other attempt but even when the switch says its connected and setup etc it then comes up device offline

Hey, I have a quastion.. Can I turn light on when im not home? Ore does I need to be connected on the same wifi?

Hi, what's happened if the plug rotate in the soket (switch L with N input) ?

I m big fan or ur

They work great, but it’s better if you flash it with tasmota!!! 😁

Hello, is it possible to connect this switch so that it can also be turned on with a regular switch? How to connect a regular switch to it?

Sir, Loop timer or Schedule Time ON/OFF ?? If we are using this component only by mobile application, No Alexa, No Internet Connection. Only done setting by mobile. Then, If there is no power for 24hrs then Does this perticular function (Schedule Timer) still work as it was set before without setting it again..

These strike me as cheap “certain country” junk like the GFCI in The Living Flip that was overheating and you had to take out.

Is the neutral required?

🔥🔥🔥🔥

U r god

Can i share control with others

Sir make a video sonoff using solar please

My wont populate my network name. Even if i select my network 2.4ghz it will not populate. It only allows me to add the wifi password. Is there away to make the wifi name to be populated like yours.

The device connect a lamp which turn on, power off / on ,the lamp is on or off ?

How much did it cost to have Richard Dreyfuss do this tutorial?

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

How come you’re moving?

mmm and the Amps?….

I must admit my App experience is not yours. I am on an iPhone.

Even after the forced pairing and all connection complete and device is named - Then it immediately says the device is offline. These things are rubbish and really not worth the purchase. Don't waste you time and money.

Why would you do all this when you can buy a smart plug for $5 ?..

plugging in the extension cord to a smart plug achieves the same result. costs the same.

Please turn the T-shirt off

No help whatsoever; unless someone wants to k now how to strip a wire and screw it into the connectors. That is NOT the issue. AND, I KNOW what I want to use my switch for. I'm trying to get it to connect. You never show your phone, you're doing stuff I cannot see. My device simply cannot be found, no matter following all the instructions I've found on the Internet. ACTUALLY, I've never had a pleasing experience with Sonoff devices. It takes HOURS for each new device I buy and try to connect. I'm not a stupid person. I'm somewhat tech-literate. I was hoping maybe someone had a coherent step by step (without fumbling around) that I could follow and finally get some joy. Therefore, I give your video a thumbs-down.
