I have read through a few blogs and watched videos of setting up the R3. What I have accomplished to date is the following:

  • Paired the R3 with ewelink cell app. I can turn it on and off from the app.
  • I have a jumper on the pins to put the R3 into DIY mode
  • Updated the firmware to version 3.6.0

I see according to the sonoff documentation there is a REST API where I can flash the firmware with a HTTP call. However I was not able to access any of the rest endpoint. I tried using 192.168.1.1XX(I have only allowed 4 devices on the network via DHCP) Does the wifi SSID need to be ITEAD-XXXXXXXXXX. I have the SSID set to sonoffDiy as per another set of documentation.

sonoff reference documentation I am referring to -> http://developers.sonoff.tech/sonoff-diy-mode-api-protocol.html

I've struggled with the same this morning, and finally managed to enter DYI mode following these steps:

===========

Start here with 3.5

  1. On the Sonoff device press button for 5 seconds (light pattern changes)
  2. Press button again for 5secs (light pattern changes again)
  3. Connect to the isteadxxxx AP using pwd 12345678
  4. Browse to http://10.10.7.1
  5. Enter your SSID and pwd for your network- case sensitive and hit Save
  6. Wait for device to reboot

=========

Important to mention,that it looks like there is NO MORE NEED for the jumper.

This worked for me with Sonoff Basic R3, version 3.6
