homekit-sonoff-lights

This is my take on Sonoff powered ceiling lights. Following projects inspired me, so be sure to check them out as well:

• https://github.com/Gruppio/Sonoff-Homekit
• https://github.com/maximkulkin/esp-homekit-demo
• https://github.com/maximkulkin/esp-homekit-demo/wiki/Build-instructions-ESP8266-(Docker)

Setup

Ensure Python is installed:

asdf install

pip install esptool pyserial
asdf reshim python

git submodule update --init --recursive

The Docker build will take a while (~30 min), so grab a coffee:

docker-compose build

Usage

Update the Wi-Fi config in src/wifi.h:

#define WIFI_SSID "ssid"
#define WIFI_PASSWORD "password"

export ESPPORT=/dev/cu.usbserial-1420

The proper device can be found running ls /dev/*usb*. For an ESP connected via an UART use the /dev/cu.usbserial-* device, for USB use /dev/tty.usbserial-*.

export SDK_PATH=`realpath ./esp-open-rtos`

docker-compose run --rm rtos make -C src all

Please ensure to put the Sonoff in flash/programming mode by pressing the button before connecting the UART cable.

make -C src flash

Troubleshooting

If there are any problems writing the firmware try resetting the Sonoff:

make -C src erase_flash

To monitor the Sonoff, you can use the following:

make -C src monitor
