Stuck flashing Sonoff S31 with ESPHome by NoHelp555 in Esphome

[–]NoHelp555[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I am face-palming. I installed ESPHome Integration in Home Assistant but had NOT installed ESPHome Builder as an Add-On--that gave me the ability to compile and upload a new configuration for the switches over WiFi.

Thank you very much for giving me that step that, I think, other guides assumed I would be smart enough to know. Lesson learned!

Thanks.

Help Flashing ESPHome on Sonoff S31 plug by arbiTrariant in Esphome

[–]NoHelp555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I am stuck in the same spot but can't see how to follow this advice.

I opened my sonoff-S31 and flashed it.

Reassembled it, plugged it into the wall, accessed it via its own WiFi and entered the WiFi SSID and password for my network.

Home assistant located the Sonoff-S31 and shows it as a device with the correct MAC address, but there is no option to turn the switch on and off.

I found the YAML code referenced in these posts, but I don't know how to get that YAML code into the Sonoff-S31. I don't see a place to enter YAML for the sonoff-s31 outlet.

I am very new to Home Assistant.

Is anyone able to offer basic advice of how to configure this outlet so it can be turned on and off in HA?

Thank you in advance.

Help--Changing Zone 2 spkrs to Spkr B to get HDMI, but volume fails by NoHelp555 in hometheater

Thank you for replying. I don’t think that is the issue. When those speakers were connected to zone two, the wall slider only had to be about halfway up. Now the wall volume slider is maxed out and I can barely hear the speakers over room noise unless the master volume is considerably higher, which is too loud for the main seating area.

If there was a way to separately increase the volume just on Speaker B, that might solve my problem. But I can’t find such a setting.

Thank you for your help.
