The New Sonoff Basic R3 Changes EVERYTHING


YouTube player
At Less than £4 the original Sonoff Basic has always been an amazing piece of kit for your Smart Home, but their latest Sonoff basic R3 changes the game entirely!

This video review will tell you everything you need to know about the new Sonoff Basic R3 and also provide an instructional tutorial as to how to flash Tasmota to the Sonoff basic R3 OTA (Over The Air) by putting it into DIY mode without having to break out the soldering iron or buy other components. If you’re a fan of Home Assistant then life just got much cheaper and much easier!

As a Google Home or Amazon Alexa device this works straight out the box!

BUY THIS SWITCH:
Amazon UK: amzn.to/2JUeq1t
Amazon US: amzn.to/2LB1WiW
Sonoff Direct: sonoff.itead.cc/en/products/sonoff/sonoff-basicr3

BUY THE CAPTAIN KIRK SHIRT:
UK: amzn.to/2XRsFy1
US: amzn.to/2O7JEYD

Written instructions:
Download this stuff to a wireless Windows PC such as a laptop:
TOOL
github.com/itead/Sonoff_Devices_DIY_Tools
TASMOTA

Download Sonoff.bin 6.3.0 is the newest one I can get to work: github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/releases/download/v6.3.0/sonoff.bin
Follow the usual practice to connect The Sonoff device to Ewelink to update to the correct firmware (v3.1.0 onwards)

Disconnect Power from the Sonoff device so you don’t kill yourself!.
Put jumper (tiny plastic thing in the bag) on the two pins that are sticking up on the circuit board. BE REALLY CAREFUL NOT TO SNAP THE TALL PLASTIC BUTTON, I SNAPPED IT TWICE AND HAD TO GLUE IT BACK TOGETHER

Connect your laptop and the Sonoff R3 to each other by using the following method:

Create a mobile hotspot on your phone with the folowing details:
AP name: sonoffDiy
Password: 20170618sn

Power the Sonoff R3 back on and it will automatically connect, you’ll know it’s connected your phone shows that there is a “device connected”

Connect to the same hotspot on your wireless laptop. This will enable the 2 devices to see and talk to each other

Extract the Sonoff tools on your laptop and launch the “DIY tool”, you will see your Sonoff R3 listed and you will be able to control it with the tool on your laptop

Use the Sonoff tool to upload the Tasmota bin file that you downloaded in step 1

This is no longer a Sonoff device, it is now a Tasmota device! BUT, it is not yet connected to your Wifi network and needs to be told your Wifi details.

You can access the Tasmota device to configure it by connecting to it’s Wifi network, in my case Sonoff-3012.

Program in your usual Wifi details for your router and Tasmota will join your local network

You can now access your Tasmota device from any computer on your network to make changes to it’s configuration. You’ll now need to find out what IP address your router has given to your Tasmota device, you can do this using fing or by looking in your routers config pages.

You can now configure Tasmota for MQTT or HTTP. The HTTP server is running by default and you can control it using the following commands:
Power on command: 192.168.71.74/cm?cmnd=Power%20On
Power off command: 192.168.71.74/cm?cmnd=Power%20Off
If you’re interested in MQTT (You big nerd) then check this out: github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/MQTT-Overview

Why It’s FINALLY Worth Having Alexa On Your PC : TOTAL CONTROL!


YouTube player
The Official Alexa app on Windows WAS rubbish, this video will show you how to setup Alexa on Windows 10 and a beta skill that extends the functionality to fully control your PC with Alexa as well as the usual Smart Home control and Amazon Music support.

This video will also show you how to use your echo dot to control your PC instead of a computer mic if you prefer. The Alexa PC setup is remarkably easy, and the software that makes complete control of your PC possible is just as easy to install and use. I’ll even show you how to control Spotify on Windows 10 with Alexa, at least for basic functionality.

Finally I will show you how to do home assistant voice control locally and privately!

This video moves at typical Paul Hibbert speed, you can use the pause button, I won’t judge you 😉

I just want to thank Dylan again for his hard work, this truly is an awesome bit of software. Don’t forget to check out Vox Commando too at voxcommando.com/home/ , and if you’re interested in Dylan’s beta skill then see below!…

How To PROPERLY Control Nvidia Shield & PS4 with Alexa: FLIRC



YouTube player
The Nvidia shield Alexa skill is rubbish and isn’t even available in the UK and EU, so I came up with something better that can be setup in 10 minutes. FLIRC is a cheap device that allows the Nvidia Shield and the PS4 to receive and respond to Infrared signals instead of Bluetooth, which means we can use a Broadlink RM Pro or a Broadlink Blackbean to control navigation via Alexa. In the case of the Nvidia shield we can also use Aberto Sonorus for free to launch apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime video!

This video is a setup guide and review of the FLIRC device which allows you to control the Nvidia shield and PS4 using Universal Infrared remotes such as the Alexa compatible Broadlink RM pro, if you want to see the full guide to setting up the RM pro to control devices such as the Nvidia shield and Playstation 4 then click here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=csIXsVPCRvY

How To Control ANY Smart Home Device With Siri Shortcuts

YouTube player
This simple Tutorial will show in 10 minutes how to connect Siri and Apple Homekit to almost ANY cheap Smart Home device including the Broadlink RM Pro and Sonoff devices. I will show you how to turn Siri into an IFTTT trigger using the IFTTT Webhooks service so you will be able to control almost any cheap Smart Plug or Smart lights, but this will also show you how to connect Siri to control any infrared based TV or set top box using the Broadlink IFTTT service!

IFTTT is also connected to Samsung Smartthings, which means you will also be able to control Smartthings with Siri! This technique will allow you to control almost anything.

I don’t own an apple homepod to test if this works with the apple speaker, but all documentation suggests that it would, but the homepod will be reliant on the i-phone to carry out the request. If you guys can let me know in the comments if and how it works with homepod it would be appreciated.

This ‘how to’ tutorial video moves at typical Paul Hibbert pace, so get ready to hit that pause button!

YouTube player
This video will show you in 2 minutes how to set up the Alexa Intruder Alert meme for yourself, but also how to take it further and have Alexa act as an alarm system using any smart PIR sensor switch to trigger a routine.

Smart sensors such as the Philips Hue PIR Sensor and Samsung Smartthings PIR sensor are ideal, but you can easily ward off the marauders this with the ultra cheap Wifi PIR sensor I used in the video:
