Sonoff Basic - RTurala/Sonoff-Tasmota GitHub Wiki

Serial Connection

Please see the Hardware Preparation page for general instructions.

You need to access the serial interface. The four serial pins (3V3, Rx, Tx, GND) are available in the middle of the PCB, right next to the on-board button. Newer version of the Sonoff module provide five pins below the button, ignore the pin furthest away from the Button (GPIO14) if available. The square pin right next to the button is the 3.3V line.

For flashing the sonoff basic V1.1, please hold the button while connecting the Plus Pole. The LED remains off until the flashing process is done and the board is rebooted.

The Sonoff Basic switch doesn't have memory to support all of the default services defined in user_config.h out of the box. If your switch is powering up but is showing a solid-blink-reset pattern see this FAQ entry for advice.
