This is a replacement firmware (Arduino IDE with ESP8266 core needed) for the ESP8266 based Sonoff devices. Use it as a starting block for customizing your Sonoff.
This started as a fork of tzapu SonoffBoilerplate project, currently deleted from GitHub. But is now so different it mearly shares its name and a bit of code for the button on the top of the sonoff.
I am mostly using this project as a way of refreshing my C++ skills that have been rotting since 1999. At the same time I am challenging myself to understand how I can leverage a hexagonal architecture and accomplish on device tests of my technology adapters.
Here is some info on flashing your sonoff.
and here is info on the microcontroller at the heart of your sonoff - esp8266 core.
It has everything included in a nice plastic package. See more here at the Sonoff manufacturer website.
First of all you will need to solder a 4 or 5 pin header on your Sonoff so you can flash the new firmware.
To run the unit tests, open a terminal and navigate to the root project directory and execute the following:
$ test.shIm using a stand alone cmake based test sollution at the moment. I plan on integrating fully into the IDE since switching to platform.io
These are the next things up on my task list:
MQTT inbound channel, backport tests
- then add ability to respond to broadcast
- and operate on specific client ID (this is the bit that needs tests)
EEPROM settings
- backport tests and slit the load/save out of the class
SonoffWifi
- need to decouple from the settings
- use setters on settings instead of passing in a settings object
- maybe need a virtual class for the eeprom settings
