You made it look easy to install it but in reality it would be difficult to pull another live wire from the ceiling to power on the sonoff switch. It'll take a lot more effort just to accomplish it.
@@Stormsman depends on specific home wiring. 99% old installations have only L1 back of the switch and N is direcly sent from middle box to the lamp. exactly as on the vid. it means drilling and routing another wire. although you gain a lot...
You make it more complicated than it should be
What it i turn the switch on manually and turn it off via app what would happen to the switch
Hi, but what to if switches are already installed on the wall, do we need to add other wires?
Should be nice to see if you can link more then one light
This means i have to pull a set of cables. My house my house have those kind of conseal cable. Will it be easy to pull new cables?
Very good explanation. However, I would like to know if it can be used in a switch which does not have neutral. If so, how to proceed? Thank you
Mini l1 xigby can do without neutral. You need to add a zigby hub though
Do I have to use one way or 2 way switch for this?
Is there a way to wire it, that the light is always on? So i can trigger the switch in my HA and use my smartbulbs to go on amd off?
Thanks for sharing this video. I am from the Philippines and we are using Line to Line electricity which both wires are Hot wires.
Is it also working on this kind of connection? If yes, could you please tell me how? Thanks!
Can i use it without the normal switch? Just through the app? I don’t have space in the board for another switch
yes
Connect in your ceiling direct to the light and connect the light switch cables that go in the conduit to s1 and s2
Hello I have my Sunoff connected via Ewelink app can it be setup via Smartlife?
It work to control multi light att the same time(about 10 lamp)?
Hello sir.
I have in question regarding
The S1 and S2 wire you connect with physical on/ off button.
Does this wire carried mains high current?
Can we touch both wire when sonoff mini is on?
Does this gives shock if we touch it?
The S1 and S2 terminals are low power. If you connect high current, you will destroy mini
What if, light is switched on by light switch, can be turned off by app?
yes it can be turn off by app
What about the other way around? Ligth is off using the light switch... Can de app be used to turn it of? Is kind of a two way switching.
Nice vieuw on inidividual items, but you never explained what the jumper in the little plastic bag was for! Too bad you did not tell us what you were doing while recording. Did hear the lovely birds! You know that if you speak clearly enough, CZcams can make subtitles for you 'on the fly' in any main language the viewer has a need for. In that case background music should be off. The mini has indeed the option to add the normal switch (-es like 2 or 3 in series like corridor solution) and still be in control. Big improvement.
The jumper is to remove the OS mini sonoff. You can find the pin inside beside the button. So you can do DIY OTA
@@BudiSantoso-hl4bf It is not that I didn't know (I use several mini's with Tasmota to manage with Domoticz), but I thought it should have been explained in this vid or at least be mentioned.
Well, we know how to take it out the box!
hi!
do you have any safety information regarding operating temperature and fire protection?
Unfortunately I do have that information but you can contact Sonoff by visiting their website www.itead.cc
Do I have to specifically connect each wire from the switch to S1 and S2? Like L1 output to S2 and Live input to S1.
Yes you have to. S1 and S2 are for switch, they are not live. There is low voltage on those pins, only for control
Is it possible when if there is no electricy and button is off positon turns off the lights when electric cMe back ?
Did you find the answer yet?
I have the same question to ask.
Hello! Must the S1 and S2 be connected? Or it works also without them?
If it doesn't work, just put a wire from S1 going to S2 (just brick it)
I guess that the S1 and S2 is for the convenience of having a physical button, you can skip them but you only switch the light via app.
Hello, i try sonoff mini 2way in my house. If i turn on -off with app. It seem to be fine. But the problem is. It isn't reliable when turn on-off with physical switch. Sometime the physical switch doesn't work . Do you have any idea why or how to fix this ?
Same problem here! I don't understand the logic. Sometimes it works, sometimes not
Why is it every time I connect to switch to the s1 and s2 terminal it fried the sonoff mini. I've had 3 fail now. They work fine from the app over wifi, as soon as I connect the switch the sonoff mini just goes puff.
sorry to hear that. the s1 and s2 should never be connected to the line or neutral. You should read manuals first.
The light status on app, change when I press a physical button?
Yes
Heya, can sonoff's 433 rf signals report status of device or switch as 'on' or 'off'?
sorry just to be clear, in the app it shows 'on' or 'off', my question is specifically is it detecting the on and off, or is it just writing one or the other? what happens if say the app crashes, will 'on' now show up as 'off' because it can't read the actual on/off status of the device?
Will this work with a line to line system without neutral wire?
mini requires neutral
No audio moving on
Ottimo
Hi, must it use internet to use the app, please? I like to install the device and use a remote without internet. Thanks.
The Sonoff mini doesn't have support for remotes. But the physical wall switch will also work when there's no wifi. The Sonoff mini can also be locally controlled from within the ewelink app when there's no internet connection
@@Leonvolt28 Thanks for your reply. Take care.
Can I connect 2 separate lights on to one sonof mini?
Sure but both same lights will turn on and off at theely time. They cannot be controlled separately
what happens if you turn on with the switch and turn off with the app (remember the switch its on) then you turn off the switch; the light go on?
Yes
And the other way around: turn off with switch, and turn on with app?
The wall switch can work without connecting wifi to sonoff mini?
If mini has o no connection to wifi, then you can use the wall switch normally
Why you need a physical switch when you can switch it on/off on your phone..
Because I don't always have my phone on my person. Also, visitors can operate the switch without even knowing it is a smart device.
Can i use one neutral for two switches?
yes you can
@@AsianBooth Could you make a video to explain how to wire sonoff mini with 2 (or multiple) switches? If that would work, i would definitely go for it to equip my new house :)
hello，where are you from？
Do I need to have neutral wire connect to the bulb and switch that showing in video normal wirering not have a neutral line that connect to the bulb
Manual wire diagram is different from this
No neutral on a lamp switch
I hTe music over video. Can’t you talk explaining instead?
Where is something about how to pairing. Wasted
its at the end of the video...
