SONOFF DW1 door sensor (one state)


This door/window sensor is powered with a 12V 23A battery and send one signal when opened.

The protocol used is compatible with these different gateways: 
  • ZgatewayRF (ESP32 or ESP8266 with an RF receiver)
  • ZgatewaySRFB (Sonoff RF Bridge)
  • ZgatewayPilight (coming with WDS07 integration)
Here is the official link:



Now if we take a look to the power consumption of this sensor we can see that:
  • When sending signal 10mA during around 2s
  • Sleep current less than 2uA continuously

Duration estimation
See relative comparison into the list of compatible devices 1
It should last more than 1 year.

Some pictures:

We can see that there is some key (1,2,3 & 4) in the PCB, maybe this can be soldered to change the code (I didn’t tested it).

You will notice that the antenna is integrated into the PCB.

I'm not a fan of the 12v23A or 27A batteries but the power consumption when sleeping is the best from all the window/door sensor I have tested.

On the functionality side the sensor is lacking a code for close state.

If you want to use it as alarm detection only (not verifying if your door is close or open) this sensor can be interesting if not you should go for a GS-WDS07 or a the new DIGOO

433toMQTTto433 - Bidirectional ESP8266 NodeMCU gateway between RF 433Mhz signal and MQTT

The goal  is to act as a gateway between 433Mhz sensors and a MQTT broker or between the MQTT broker and 433Mhz actuators, It enables to: receive MQTT data from a topic and send RF 433Mhz signal corresponding to the received MQTT data  publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received 433Mhz signal  It can be an interesting part in an home automation system so as to interface sensors and actuators (wall sockets) with software like openhab . List of compatible sensors here The interest of putting this gateway to an ESP8266 and not on a raspberry pi is to be able to manage security actions at gateway level (power on a siren, cut power to certain devices) following RF data received by sensors without being dependent to the PI for security related actions. [EDIT] all infos are now centralized into  the github repository  take a look at it you will find up to date info about OpenMQTTGateway You need: Software: Mosquitto Arduino IDE latest version (tested ok with 1.6.10

Infrared IR, 433mhz and MQTT on ESP8266 bidirectional gateway OpenMQTTGateway

Following discussions on the home assistant forum people gave me the idea to add Infrared communication to the 433mhz gateway.  The goal is to act as a gateway between 433Mhz sensors, infrared remote controls and a MQTT broker or between the MQTT broker and 433Mhz actuators, infrared devices, It enables to: receive MQTT data from a topic and send RF 433Mhz signal corresponding to the received MQTT data  publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received 433Mhz signal  receive MQTT data from a topic and send infrared signal corresponding to the received MQTT data  publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received infrared signal  It can be an interesting part in an home automation system so as to interface sensors and actuators (wall sockets), your tv, home cinema, hifi ... with software like  openhab  or home assistant . List of compatible RF sensors here [EDIT] all infos are now centralized into the github repository  take a look at it you will find up to d

Get your BLE sensors data into Home Assistant in 5 minutes

You can now upload your board directly from the web browser!  So let's imagine you want to read data from a sensor like a Mi Flora, an LYWSD03MMC, a weight scale, or any other BLE sensor from this list  Plug an ESP32 dev board to your computer USB port Go to this website: https://docs.openmqttgateway.com/upload/web-install.html Select esp32dev-ble Click the install button Depending on your board you may have to press the BOOT button Choose the port that the ESP is connected to. Wait until the process is complete. Release the BOOT button That's it, OMG is now loaded into your ESP32 board without Arduino IDE, platformIO or a binary flasher. Here are the steps in images: Now comes the Home Assistant part: Add the MQTT integration and activate auto discovery Create a user and a password (Configuration->Users) without administrator right for the gateway Well, this is enough for Home Assistant. So let's now connect both: Check the Wifi Access points available with your smartph
