Info: on/off URL

[JoeTN-zz]

Hello Theo

first of all I really appreciate your work on this :-)

I got your firmware uploaded and running, and everything is working nicely, but I think I've found something that could be a bug, even though I'm not sure.

I can use the following URL to toggle the relay both on and off: http://192.168.1.111/?o=1
But shouldn't it be so that http://192.168.1.111/?o=1 will only toggle it on, and do nothing if it is already on, instead of toggling it off?

For me, it would make sense if http://192.168.1.111/?o=1 would toggle it on, and http://192.168.1.111/?o=0 would toggle it off. Currently sending the same URL is toggling it both on and off, as I said, I don't know if that's a bug or what.

Also I would like to suggest the following additions:

• Add ability to give the Sonoff relay a name and display it on the webpage for easily identification. This way I could easily name my Sonoff relay in the kitchen to be "Kitchen", and then see that name on the frontpage for easy identification.
• I was thinking it would be nice with some simple authentication form, prompting for login-credentials on the webpage. But I guess that would have influence on the trigger-URL as it would have to include username and password for authentication. I have no idea if that's too hard to implement.

Again thank you for your great effort! - If I can donate somewhere I would be happy to do so :-)

Regards
Joe

Thnx Joe.

No, it's not a bug, it's a feature used to TOGGLE the relay addressed by the number.

To send a command using http you would use something like http://192.168.1.111/cm?cmnd=power%20on (%20 is a space character).

The name shown below "Sonoff module" is the wifi hostname you can change it with the hostname command like hostname Kitchen.

There will be no authentication on HTTP as the goal of this software is to use MQTT to control sonoff and NOT the webpage (=HTTP). The webpage is just a gadget to easily configure and test functionality. Once done disable webserver with webserver 1 (user mode) or webserver 0 (off) and control sonoff using home automation tools like node-red, domoticz, openhab, fhem etc.

Aah, thanks for the clarification!
Nice feature with the hostname command, that worked great!

This is really great :-)
