Flashing SONOFF devices gives you full local control, and the ability to integrate them into Home Assistant ensures you wonβt miss the cloud functionality they originally come with.
 |
This is the device I will flash with TASMOTA, and the reasons are: - It takes too long to go from offline to online - Huge delay when switching - Often requires reconfiguration |
|---|
Caution
Before proceeding, disconnect the ["Sonoff BasicR2"][sonoff] from the power supply!!!
 |
AZDelivery TTL Serial Adapter is the tool that will be used to connect, communicate, and flash the Sonoff BasicR |
|---|
Before connecting, you need to install the following drivers: "CP2102 drivers:", "CH342, CH343, CH9102 drivers:", and "CH340, CH341 drivers:". After installation, restart your operating system before proceeding.
Caution
Before continuing, make sure the ["Sonoff BasicR2"][sonoff] is disconnected from the power supply!!!
Note
To connect the ["Sonoff BasicR2"][sonoff] to the ["AZDelivery TTL Serial Adapter"][azd], you will need access to the circuit board of the ["Sonoff BasicR2"][sonoff], meaning youβll have to disassemble it!
Check the wiring diagram in the image below!
