Hardware Revision Notification: Sonoff Dual R3 v2 released in September 2020
Starting September 2021, Sonoff started to distribute a new version with a different energy monitoring chip (BL0930 instead of CSE7761). There is no functional difference between v1.x and v2. Depending on shop’s stock you may have one or the other.
You can identify the v2 from the v1.x by the markings on the PCB and on the energy measurement chip. See photos of the Sonoff Dual R3 v2 in its device page. All photos below are from Sonoff Dual R3 v1.6.
⚠️️Special Attention ⚠️️
Do not connect AC power and the serial connection at the same time The GND connection of the Dual R3 is connected to the live AC wire. Connecting serial with your PC will fry your PC and will electrocute you. Safety and fire danger.
DO NOT CONNECT ANY SENSORS TO THESE DEVICES!!! The GPIOs on the Dual R3 are connected to AC power!
Opening the Case
Press the case to release the clips. My case was not glued at all but some might be. After opening it, the PCB will simply pop out.
Serial Flashing
Disconnect the device from mains power! Like for real!
The four needed pins (3V3, RX, TX and GND) are available at the back of the PCB and can be easily identified.
Connect them to the serial-to-USB adapter. If you have alligator clips or some ingenuity you can do it without soldering, notice that ground is connected to any ground pin on the board, not the marked pad necessarily.
To enter flash mode you need to connect GPIO0 to GND. Luckily Sonoff decided to give you a practical button that does just that.
Download tasmota32.bin (you need v9.3.1.2 and above) or tasmota32-bluetooth.bin if you plan on using the Bluetooth gateway feature.
Tasmota Web Installer
For easiest flash use Tasmota Web Installer.
esptool.py
If you are installing from scratch then use tasmota32.factory.bin which includes the necessary bootloader files.
esptool.py --chip esp32 --port COM5 --baud 921600 --before default_reset --after hard_reset write_flash -z --flash_mode dout --flash_freq 40m --flash_size detect 0x00000 tasmota32.factory.bin
Configuration
After the flash is complete you will have to connect the DUALR3 to mains and configure Tasmota with webUI using the Wi-Fi AP. ESP32 usually cannot boot properly with power supplied by the serial-to-USB adapter!
Apply the template and make sure “Module 0” is selected. If the power readings are off, perform power monitoring calibration.
Zero Cross Detection Support
