What is the difference between the S26 and the S20 as it seems like pot-luck which gets delivered.

Just a quick question, if you set these up and the internet connection goes down (as it does here daily), does that effect operation of the unit through the app?

In other words does it need to be constantly internet connected to operate?

Out of the box these need to be connected to SONOFF Servers via WeLink app to operate, so yes if your Internet goes down you lose functionality.

But you can flash them with other software (e.g TOSMOTO) which removes the need to connect to external servers and just use them under your own WLAN at home, and then maybe use a U.I like Home Assistant running on a Rpi to configure your whole setup at home - again lots of videos available to see how it works.

thanks for the info, does the app let you control via the internet when outside the home?

Yes, it doesn't care if under LAN or WAN it operates and feels the same.

We bought this last month... great bit of kit. well worth the price.

On another note, the OPs opening post shows the plug at £12 now with code not working, any update on where to get these at a decent price currently?

Have a closer look. The plug isn't 1.99, only the adapter is. The plug is £10.99

2 arrived this morning and another 2 on the way

opened one up as planning to re-flash with Tasmota but heck those pin out points are really small on the S26 model compared with the S20



..gonna need to sit a refresher course on soldering as its been a while

pity there is no OTA flashing of these devices.

You have an option to name each when you pair them up, example: Phone charger, Bedroom 1, Outdoor lights.

Have 2 set up buy my wife cannot control them via Google assistant on her phone. We are both on same WiFi network, do I need to install the app on her phone and link them or should it just work?

I wouldn't put them on a dishwasher or a washing machine.

A rule of thumb with these gadgets is best keep them on light loads

My 2 cents as an electrician anyway

No
There's the safety aspect of remote control with a fire
Even the likes of washing machines coming on at night for nightsaver when users are asleep isn't to be recommended
