> 3 dayI have found the Sonoff plugs to have a better range and reliability of other plugs I have purchased. The company allows for easy hacking via circuit board pads and the use of the ESP8285 chip. Even without flashing your own code the setup is fast and it connects with Alexa without problems using the eWeLink app.

> 3 dayI used tiny spring clips on a USB cable to connect to the board inside and flash Tasmota. Worked great! Unlike the KMC 30153 where they changed the underlying SOC chip (so you never know what youre getting), these have real Espressif 8266 chips in them.

> 3 dayI bought a few Sonoff switches years back and needed more smart plugs. So as to limit my app-footprint, I ordered more Sonoff. Price is higher than other smart plugs but to keep my system with as few Chi-com manufacturers as reasonable i had to go this route. If you dont know there are 2 types. One offers live electrical useage stats and the other is basically a switch only, no data. They setup easy and work well. I never have them go off-line or die. I wish their price was about half what they are. Shipped fast.

Open the Sonoff S31 and expose the PCB. Locate the GPIO0 button and the TX and RX pins. Connect the TX pin of the USB to TTL adapter to the RX pin of the Sonoff S31. Connect the RX pin of the USB to TTL adapter to the TX pin of the Sonoff S31. Connect the ground pin of the USB to TTL adapter to the ground pin of the Sonoff S31. Connect the 3.3V pin of the USB to TTL adapter to the 3.3V pin of the Sonoff S31. Connect the USB to TTL adapter to your computer. Open a terminal emulator and set the baud rate to 115200. Enter the following command to enter bootloader mode: Press the GPIO0 button and hold it down. While holding down the GPIO0 button, plug the Sonoff S31 into a power outlet. Release the GPIO0 button after a few seconds. The Sonoff S31 should now be in bootloader mode. Use the terminal emulator to upload the Tasmota firmware to the Sonoff S31. Once the Tasmota firmware has been uploaded, the Sonoff S31 will reboot. The Sonoff S31 will now be running Tasmota.

> 3 dayI bought a single S31 to figure which of my appliances was the most power-draining. What I did is simply use the single S31 power plug to monitor each suspect appliance for 2-3 days. The Android App has a kWh power consumption meter which you can start and stop. I was able to find out that my refrigerator was actually the culprit, using about 2kWh a day. I would have given the S31 a 5-star but for the fact that the software app is not the most intuitive to use. But it does the job and the S31 plug itself is only $15.

> 3 dayExcelente compra, la configuración con la app eWelink se debe realizar primero via bluetooth y luego si enlazar al wifi 2.4Ghz. A través de ésta app se puede visualizar el consumo real de electricidad del aparato conectado. Enchufes muy estables, espero tengan la durabilidad adecuada
