Description

The Sonoff BASIC R3 is a compact, Wi-Fi-enabled smart switch designed to bring intelligence to standard home appliances and lighting. It operates on standard AC power (100-240V) and integrates directly into your electrical wiring to provide remote control via smartphone, voice commands, or automated schedules. Its core functionality is managed through the eWeLink ecosystem, offering a user-friendly interface for real-time status monitoring and scene creation.

Beyond standard cloud control, the R3 version includes a crucial DIY mode, allowing advanced users to flash custom firmware such as Tasmota or ESPHome. This opens the device to local network (LAN) control via a built-in web server and REST API, making it independent of cloud services and ideal for privacy-focused or complex home automation setups. The switch is built with a robust ABS housing and is rated for high-current applications, making it a reliable component for smart home retrofits.
