Outdoor lighting

Switches outdoor light with sonoff flashed with tasmota

Goal

My outdoor lights give power outages when it rains a lot, the differential switch triggers (also when ligbts are not turned on). Since the underground wiring cannot be easily fixed, a workaround was done by also switching the neutral wire going to the lights when power down.

Concept

Double Sonoff switches

Tasmota settings:

  • PowerOnState 1: if the tasmota devices get power, they will turn on the lights automatically.
    • When the first tasmota gets turned on (by a manual switch or by homeautomation), the second tasmota will be turned on. When the second tasmota receives power it will turn on the lights automatically.
  • WifiConfig 5
  • SetOption1 1
  • SetOption13 1

Since the module is hidden in an electric box, the buttons on the tasmotas are disabled for certainty.
