Smart WiFi relay Sonoff Basic R2 Switch - works with Yandex Alice Review

Works with Alice, adds ewelink skill Everything is clear on the connection, do not confuse the phase and zero, I connected an extension cord for the TEST, everything works, but I highly do not recommend doing this. Alice reflected like a rosette

I didn’t immediately understand how to connect, but the Internet helped put the relay into a trance state to connect to Wi-Fi. Works with Alice, very convenient - the neighbors are now jealous) I plan to put a relay on home lighting in the future.

Got pros: Very compact. I hooked up to Alice without any problems. The build quality is decent. Different cons: To contact Alice, you need another account with a third-party application, does not produce its own product of this kind.

Its pros: I installed it on the main light in the hall, connected it with Alice, everything works, it is controlled both by voice and from the phone. Some cons: I had to dance a little with the application, but everything is solved

I did not try to connect eWelink, I took it exclusively for flashing. I immediately soldered the terminal block and, using the programmer, flashed the chip to my firmware. This model has an ESP8256 chip, keep this in mind, because. firmware from ESP8266 does not work on it. For Arduino IDE or Platform IO, also choose ESP8256. In general, it works well, suitable for purposes where you need to make a switch quickly and compactly.

Bought 2 relays. One is in the bathroom and has a fan connected to it. It turns on as programmed cyclically. Alice manages well. Relay identified as "socket" The second relay is located on the ceiling in the room, identified as lighting fixtures. Through the subprogram, everything works, although an error periodically pops up when turning it on and off in the application. When working through Alice's smart home: from the application between switching on and off, it requires a pause of about 3-5

I ordered 4 pieces, two for the hall and two for the kitchen. But he changed his mind about installing in the kitchen, he made smart colored lamps there. Therefore, 2 relays remained in stock. But during installation in the hall, one relay initially refused to work - the relay clicks, the effect is zero. I took it from stock. I did not return the defective one, a lot of troubles because of one. After about 7 months, another one died, posted a photo of the inside. I went to take the last one…

When the relay is one and needs to be used as a wireless switch, it is too dreary (app, access point .), it is better to take the radio relay much easier.
