After installing ESPEasy on your sonoff S20, if you setup port forwarding correctly on your router, you can control your switch locally or remotely using the free (and ad free) Android app named ESPEasy Switch Controller found on apkfiles.com.

Hi Adam.
I’m not familiar with Sonoff POW R2 and without further information, it is difficult to understand what is going on.
If anyone has the same problem and knows the solution, please share!
I’m sorry that I can’t help much.
Regards,
Sara

Hi, I am using a Sonoff POW R2. I managed to set the device into flash mode and flashed Easy ESP. But when I try to switch on the device, my phone/laptop won’t detect the wifi name.

I’ve flashed several times and changed my main power inlet to the device but nothing works. Any advice would help 🙁

In reply to Carl A Rajack. Try to leave the Arduino IDE serial monitor and see if it prints any error message that can help you figure out what's going on

Another great tutorial except that I ran into a problem which I can’t seem to resolve. Everything went fine up to the Easy ESP installation. ESP installed okay and I was able to access the ESP console and make the configuration changes. The config changes were made and properly saved in ESP and Sonoff rebooted. However when I tried to control the Sonoff using the http://192.168.0.69/control?cmd=GPIO,12,1 (my IP address) there is no response. I have reviewed the ESP configuration many times and doesn’t seem to have any errors. Did anyone else experience this ?

In reply to Jules. Jules , I read on EspEasy forums about people having that problem - something about the way it was flashed but I believe they fixed that issue. I had no problem seeing the Esp Easy 0 on my computers wifi for setup . Give it a try again sometime.

In reply to Dermot Donnelly.

Dermot – this does not use the Sonoff servers at all. When you flash EspEasy it communicates directly to your own wifi with nothing in between. I just put Node-Red on my windows computer and can control it that way – no other mqqt servers needed unless you want to – you can do both direct or via another server however you want.

Hi 🙂
Unfortunately, we don’t have any tutorial about that subject, yet.
We’ll add your suggestion to our list of future tutorials.

Thank you for your clear tutorial. It would be great if you could show us how to integrate Sonoff basic to Home Assistant.
