Integrate sonoff devices #10

Closed shortbloke closed 7 years ago

shortbloke commented 7 years ago

I've purchased a couple of sonoff devices for controlling the fan in the loft and maybe some other things. Seems I need to change the firmware to one that supports MQTT.

Added first basic switch device in change: https://github.com/shortbloke/home_assistant_config/commit/afd225c2f996b24d2de50806ec1c2ab245724492

After some further research I went with the Sonoff-Tasmota custom firmware. It offers lots of features, including web config so that simple changes can be made without needing to pop open the device and reflash with new firmware. Also seems to be the most active project.
