Haha too little too late I say

Sadly everything is dead. I extracted the ESP32 board to have w look at pinout. Article is updated with new pictures

@@notenoughtech That's a shame but worth the look. While it's open can you check the rating for the relay as a lot of these items specify a higher current than the relay can switch. Thanks for the videos.

@@briansmith7015 relays are rated 10A for 250VAC

I was very close!

I'm inventing new tests for new devices :)

@@notenoughtech I'm excited to see your RCD test! :)

@@DustinWatts Hey, this time i didn't shock myself which is an improvement

all my berries are still alive.. in fact this is my first blow up :D

Haha I blame the timezone ... If you started earlier I would have heard it 🙈🙈🙈

Always a pleasure

You need dual one to reverse the motor direction

Hey thanks for the feedback I will pass it over via my contact.

For now might have problems with all of them 🙈

@@notenoughtech This has price advantage over the Shelly 2.5. But it's kind of useless if it's not supported by Tasmota or ESPHome.

I should get another one soon to play with

That would be cool as well

I have seen no Indication on their website of an intended RFR3 version.

I'll adopt this moving forward now I have to wait until end of Chinese New year

Pretty much so 🙈🙈

Are you using eWeLink? This indicates some security related issues. If you are doing all this in DIY mode, then you need port forwarding. But this only should apply when you flash your device with custom firmware. with eWelink you should be ok from outside your network

Technically if you change the relay rating it could work but I'd be very careful with this approach. Sonoff has bigger units that can accommodate this. Check the powr2 series

@@notenoughtech Thank You !

yes thts is how it would work

If I remember correctly you have 8 timers available. I was not able to test but i think these would be per channel too

Home automation panel in eWeLink is best bet. Not sure if you can disconnect the relay but you can introduce the delay before off action

You are only missing this notenoughtech.com/review/a-precision-screwdriver-in-power-armour-minidso-es121/

Gpio00 is the the button so at least that's easy. Sonoff devices usually have the gpio00 link to a button

Inrush current. Can be 10-40 times more than rated current for inductive loads.

@@notenoughtech I've always assumed you should limit inductive loads to maybe 60% of resistive. According to this the dual R3 is essentially useless for inductive loads...

@@PeterScargill They make it to drive shades not to operate cranes :)

@@PeterScargill Strange, I'm running a 2.2kW Borehole pump and a 1.1kW swimming pool pump off of a Dual R2 without a problem.

@@kcerasmus9890 My general unscientific rule of thumb has always been to take devices with 10A relays, run max 8-9A with resistive loads like lamps and no more than say 6A to 7A with inductive loads like heaters but then typical heaters aren't that inductive. I would not know where to draw the line with for example a hot tub heater or motor but I am running my 2kw house immersion heater off a similar 10A device and the controller only gets luke-warm. Ran on dual tariff 220v for months, on at 1am, off at 11am then a top up at 5pm for an hour. Manufacturers of these devices really should be more specific with instructions. All of this means nothing if you blow up the device 😂 mine should arrive soon, Chinese holidays permitting.

Yes. Actually in the same way

Use BT option in eWeLink app to pair it. Make sure the app has access to location settings as this falls in BT usage policy

You know I had been compared to Alan Rickman before.... :D I take the evil spin as a compliment too :)

Unfortunately until I get the replacement I can't experiment with it further

I'm sure my wife gave me a funnier look as she was working remotely from home when I blew up the whole floor hahaha :D

I had spent about 2 hours wiring a strip of LED's and my two engineering friends were like "don't plug it in!! I'm telling you it won't work, the voltage compounds!" ...I said no dude it will work...and the heads of the LED's all popped off when I did and I learned a valuable lesson that day. I'm not that smart. (I was supposed to wire it in series and not parallel, or vice versa I can't recall, remember I'm stupid?)

I have these too - I'm terrified not to play with these haha

Link it to Ewelink app and you can control it anywhere

Once I done it's setting, as scheduled settings and then wifi is turned off then it will work ? It always need wifi or just for settings and for remotely accessibility?

It stores the schedule on the device

Thanks for the reply sir. Plz make a video on this issue if possible because I heard from someone that this device has no memory

poor Bambi, I don't have an excuse, but as soon as I seen the flash, I knew exactly what happened. That thought hit my brain as quick as the surge of current frying my fuse!

Linked in the description (about $13)

It depends on how you want the switch to work. Are you trying to switch over between solar and mains based on the output of the solar power?

@@notenoughtech ya it what I need

And i currently have a manual 2 way switch that does work

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNl_nK931NKtfqs.html The wiring is likely so

Assuming that your circuit can be back fed without damage it should work

It's intended mainly for lamps and curtain motors. I hope that you are not planning on toggling stadium floodlights :)

I agree, I can't understand why there aren't a few 16 and 20 Amp options. I have had to use a 20 Amp DIN rail contactor energised by an RFR3 Smart Switch for my hot water geyser.

PS ! I am almost finished rewiring my complete house, and will have over 100 circuit breakers on my distribution board when I am finished, which means that very few of my circuits exceed 10 Amp, the exceptions are the hot water geyser, oven, air-conditioning units.

They are options, but expensive. Let's face it, majority of us will have circuits clamped at 16A with lights hitting at best 150W. 20A relays would appeal only to a small % of the customers while R&D would cost exactly the same

You have a geyser in your back garden? Where are you, in Iceland? :D

No I'm sorry but the article has pictures maybe you will figure out

@@notenoughtech thank you, i saw the photos and found the chip, its CSE7761 from ChipSea, couldn't find any english documentation regarding the chip

@@paulcanon5199 could be something in-house 🤷🏼

@@notenoughtech yea probably. trying to find alternate chip, i'm currently in the process of designing a similar device

Mistakes happened I'm glad you are unharmed ;)

@@notenoughtech yes, everything is fine here and with the house, but it was a nice toast at the sonoff haha

Let's make it the last one toasted! Stay safe my friend ;)

Easter. If you believe in resurrection ☺️

Mate works for F1 Merc team ;)

I don't work on live terminals. So isolated screwdriver isn't really adding protection.

@@notenoughtech same as you never connect brown and blue wires together? As we all know Murphy is always around the corner. Shit happens and it is always good to expect mistakes. I use phase detecting isolated screwdrivers (these with a fluorescent mini bulbs) when I work on mains. Perfect size and good indicator even when I’’m sure I disconnected mains as I always do too.

@@christianmeinert8806 there is a big difference between working on a circuit and filming it. I know why made the mistake. There is a reason why I have the toolbox next to my extension lead. So each time I take my tools change the tips etc Im aware of the status of the device. Sure I made a mistake wiring it but as you noticed at the time of operation everything else was set to anticipate problems

Don’t get me wrong. I like your videos and channel! Great work! And there is no need for a long disclaimer. Only a small issue for children watching. “Don’t do this at home” 😀

@@christianmeinert8806 I usually leave this for when I actually show how to hack things. I think the in depth analysis in this video what went wrong kinda assumes that people will take care and pay attention to instruction included in the product.

On my list :)

I can see the integration in eWeLink app?

@@notenoughtech When I ask Alexa to add EWELINK devices, the DUAL R3 does not show up after the scan.

@@delaveganz is eWeLink account linked correctly? Do you have the control over it via app? Try renaming it to push the update through

@@notenoughtech No joy - have tried to rescan on Alexa and Google Home apps, but they don't show up. I already have many older Sonoff devices on Google Home and recently added a Dual R2's. When I rescan, my Dual R3's does not show up. I guess that is why the package does not have the works with Google Assistant, nor the works with Amazopn Alexa logos

🤷

Well clearly my spotting skills fell down on my butt in this occasion 😂🤣😂

@@notenoughtech mistakes happen to us all. Kudos to you for not editing it out and leaving it as an example to everyone how careful you must be with electrickery, even though it cost you with some laughs at your expense. 👍

I think it serves a good lesson. You can never be too careful.

My 1st sonoff corpse, considering I have been playing with these for years now, not a bad track recordrd

They say if you can capture all the smoke and put it back into the device, the device will work again.

@@kcerasmus9890 I had my vent on dammit. I did the post mortem. Esp is dead but I found gpio00 updated the article

@@kcerasmus9890 hah, love that idea.

@@notenoughtech Well since the smoke is gone, so is your chance to repair said item.

Thanks. I only use it on unpowered electronics. I keep my box next to the extension lead so I always know if what I am about to touch isn't plugged in :)

I already pulled some strings to get one asap..now I'm waiting for strings to make the noise 😊

@@notenoughtech Matt how did you open the dual? I have one but the case is not the usual Sonoff mini style push and pop the lid off. I am hoping to get esphome or tasmota on this so I can have a smart light switch but also read some BLE temperature sensors at the same time. Just do not want to break the case forcing it open.

@@andymilne3527 it has the same U clips as mini.

Its how you condition love 😁😁
