In this video I show you more sonoff wifi smart switch models such as the Sonoff S20, POW, and TH16. Learn how to use these smart switches in your home automation setup.
FAQ:
1) Is this compatible with iOS (iPhone) devices?
Yes, the iOS eWeLink app can be found at itunes.apple.com/us/app/ewelink-smart-home-control/id1035163158?mt=8
2) Is this compatible with Amazon echo (Alexa)?
Yes, a tutorial can be found at itead.cc/blog/ewelink-works-with-alexa-tutorial
3) I have an extension cord/appliance that has three prongs (live, neutral, ground). How do I wire up the sonoff?
Any appliance or device that has a metal chassis needs the ground wire to be considered safe. Appliances that have plastic chassis are safe (in the US) with only live and neutral. If you need the ground wire, I would suggest getting the Sonoff Pow model which has three terminals to accommodate the ground wire. itead.cc/sonoff-pow.html.
4) I don't feel safe having to modify an extension cord. Is there a sonoff switch that I can just plug right into the wall and use?
Yes, it can be found here itead.cc/smart-socket.html
5) Where can I buy these for less than $5 and how long does shipping take?
The Sonoff can be purchased from the manufacturer's website. The price before shipping (at the time of this video) is $4.85. I believe they ship from China which may take several weeks to arrive where you live. I ordered several that took about 2 weeks to arrive in the US.
