- In this tutorial we will control a Sonoff switch with Alexa & Goggle Home. Also make a portable Sonoff switch to control any device in the house.
Heroku:
dashboard.heroku.com/apps
IFTTT:
ifttt.com
Source Code on GitHub:

PLease connect hot wire to load terminal and neutral to other. I made a mistake connecting them in diagram.
It is my understanding that if you use the load on the neutral side of the Sonoff like you have shown, the "hot" wire is always energized and leads to a shock hazard. Please hook it up as the indicator on the case shows.
I really appreciate you channel. Good job. Rick
Rick Prime Thank you
A quick question about Heroku: are you only using it to avoid opening a firewall port? Or does it add some value? If it's just security, it seems like you could achieve a "close enough" protection by simply limiting the port mapping to IFTTT server addresses.
Ran Talbott I am using it to avoid opening a firewall port and also off loading some of the processing from ESP to Heroku. In my case I don't have an option since my router is locked down by my ISP.
ive been reading a bit about these ftdi programmers having issues with not being recognized if theyre counterfeit and having other issues. can you tell me more about this because i know nothing about what this thing is, also if you know where you got yours from to tell us please
Do you have thoughts for using the built-in button for toggling the device on/off? I imagine there would be a need to debounce the switch to avoid chattering the relay.
Yes Sir, I have it on the list.
Do you think you could show your sketch please. I am trying to get node-red to do the same thing. That way you have full control. Liked your set up for your video nicely done. Keep going your doing great. Big thumbs up from me and I subscribed. Have a nice day.
Chris B see the video description for the code link.
as 007 mentioned - eWeLink app and account linked to eWelink Alexa skill works great - I have been using it for awhile now with all Sonoff devices - unless flashing gives you more control than on/off and timers?Anyway - just a heads up - love your channel - keep up the great work...
It gives you more flexibility. You can create custom commands instead of using on/off only.
Nice.:)
Erik Laken Thanks
Sonoff native support with google and amazon. No need to flash the firmware anymore. In you google or amazon you can find the skill call "EWeLink" login and enjoy ~
do you need an always on android device running a bridge app or does it just work native with alexa now?
no need
Please watch the following tutorial and you will get the answers. All the code is provided to get it working.

Maybe you should try flashing "Sonoff-Tasmota" its powerful and update.And you did great~love your channel
Hello, i have a problem after flashed my Sonoff. The Sonoff relay just works well when i have connected 3,3v to Sonoff, but when i disconnect 3,3v and connect 220v the relays doesn't work! Anyone have idea what happen?
Is't posible to use 3 way switch with Sonoff for manual on/off ?
Yes, watch my 3 way switch tutorial.

It's not connecting to my wireless network after uploading the sketch. I open the Serial Monitor and it's blank. Any suggestions?
Ryan Maples please make sure you are selecting the correct board type and double check your ssid id and password.
Can you make a video how to add a temperature sensor and ask alexa for temperature? Thanks

Hraklis Kirlis I will be uploading a temperature tutorial in next few days. Stay tuned.

Whats the amazon app name i need please?
You don't need any app. Just used the code provided in description.
but you say "alexa trigger" so you are using this through IFTTT then right?
you must be using IFTTT
i don't think there is a way to interface with the sketch on the switch directly there needs to be some other service, so what service in IFTTT do you link it to?
i saw something similar , but the sketch was for a device handler in smart things ,i am not sure if you need the smartthings hub to do it that way or just the app/account because i saw someone else get a boadlink to work with smart things and it said you could do it without a smart things hub
i went and bought a used gen 1 smart things hub to use with the sonoff sketch and another sketch for a lixada H801 ,also esp8266 based ,mainly i got it for the H801 since i will be using 5 of them
so i was wondering if you could do something similar with the H801
make a tutorial and sketch and show how to flash it to an H801
i am not sure if the smartthings sketch actually requires you to use a hub either or if you can just do it with an account
i assume there is a way to do it without a hub since it does not use special protocol like zwave or zigbee ,just wifi
but it requires some fancy setup on your router with ports i do not quite understand
have you seen this project on the smart things community?
flashing H801 and sonoff for smart things control i mean
i ended up forgetting about sonoff though because i bought a broadlink RM pro and i use it to control both 12v and 120/220v
cheap chinese 433mhz relays and i use an always on android android device running a bridge app
Please watch my previous tutorials. I am doing this with Heroku app. App allows you to control your devices without opening a firewall port.
its a skill on amazon must be called sonoff that would make sense :)
I am using Alexa applet with webhook to send the call to Heroku and then the request get forwarded to the Sonoff.
I explain this in my previous tutorials. It is not limited to on/off command you can use other commands.
For step by step details watch following video.

Hi Nassir, thanks for making these videos and I am learning a lot of good stuff because of you. I tried to flash the SONOFF plug and Arduino gives me below error. Can you please help
Arduino: 1.8.4 (Windows 10), Board: "Generic ESP8266 Module, 80 MHz, 40MHz, DIO, 115200, 512K (64K SPIFFS), ck, Disabled, None"
Sketch uses 302817 bytes (69%) of program storage space. Maximum is 434160 bytes.
Global variables use 40128 bytes (48%) of dynamic memory, leaving 41792 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 81920 bytes.

Your SONOFF switch is not in flash mode. Make sure press down the SONOFF button before you plug your USB to TTL converter to you computer.
Thanks for the quick response. I just switched the USB port and it worked, In the logs I do see the plug was flashed but using the IFTTT command it is not doing anything. I tried to look for the logs on the serial monitor but it does not show me anything. Not even when it is flashing the plug. I will try to hook it up with A/C power to see if that works
You need to deploy the Heroku app. It is very easy. Watch the tutorial # 10 ua-cam.com/video/c4CC1dMFg78/v-deo.html
That is also deployed. When I go to Personal Apps it shows the app
I plugged it to mains, but still nothing. Is there some way to debug whats going on?
