How to control a SonOffr with another ESP8266?
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2017 1:51 pmHi all
I have several SonOffs in use and they work well, but what I really need is to be able to toggle them by way of a button.
What I'm thinking is another ESP8266 that's 'paired' with a specific SonOff. The MAC addresses are visible when 'interrogating' the router and, from the eWeLink app, something gets sent over the Internet, via China, that the router then sends over WiFi to the SonOff.
I can't see that it's not possible to duplicate that signal somehow, but the software would be way beyond my capabilities.
Anyone got any thoughts?
Thanks
Duncan
