Sonoff BASIC/RF Wi-Fi Smart Switch

Product Overview

The Sonoff BASIC/RF is a Wi-Fi Smart Switch that allows you to remotely control your home appliances from anywhere using your smartphone. It supports features like remote control, scheduling, voice control, and sharing with family members.

Installation Instructions

1. Power Off

Before installation, ensure the power supply is turned off. A warning is issued to consult a qualified electrician for installation and repair to avoid electric shock. Do not touch wiring terminals when the device is powered on.

2. Wiring

Wiring requires 16-18AWG solid/stranded copper wire with a tightening torque of 4.0 N·m (3.5 lb-in). Ensure the neutral and live wires are connected correctly. For safety, it is recommended to install a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) or residual current operated circuit breaker (RCBO) with a 10A rating before the BASICR2 or RFR2.

Device Setup

4. Power On

After powering on, the device enters quick pairing mode, indicated by the Wi-Fi LED indicator flashing in a pattern of two short flashes followed by one long flash. If pairing is not completed within 3 minutes, the device exits quick pairing mode. To re-enter, long-press the pairing button for approximately 5 seconds until the Wi-Fi LED indicator shows the same pattern.

5. Add the Device

Open the eWeLink app, tap the '+' icon, select 'Add Device', and follow the on-screen prompts. Note: This device does not support Bluetooth pairing.

Compatible Pairing Mode

If quick pairing fails, use the compatible pairing mode. Long-press the pairing button for 5 seconds until the Wi-Fi LED indicator flashes twice briefly and then one long flash. Long-press again for 5 seconds until the Wi-Fi LED indicator flashes rapidly. Then, in the app, tap '+' and select 'Add Device', followed by 'Compatible Mode'. Connect your mobile device to the Wi-Fi SSID 'ITEAD-******' with the password '12345678', then proceed in the eWeLink app.

Device Offline

Q: Why is my device offline and uncontrollable?

A: Newly added devices may take 1-2 minutes to connect. If it remains offline, check the Wi-Fi LED indicator status:

• Green Wi-Fi indicator flashes once per second: Switch failed to connect to your Wi-Fi. Possible causes include incorrect Wi-Fi password, weak signal, interference, or 5GHz Wi-Fi incompatibility. Try moving the device closer to the router, re-adding it, or ensuring you are using a 2.4GHz network. Check if MAC address filtering is enabled on your router and disable it if necessary. As a last resort, try creating a Wi-Fi hotspot with your phone and adding the device again.
• Green indicator flashes twice per second: Device connected to Wi-Fi but not to the server. Ensure your network connection is stable. Frequent double flashes may indicate an unstable network. If the network is stable, try power cycling the switch.
