I’ve been tinkering with my Sonoff Touch 3 Gang unit lately and wanted to share my experience with dimming functionality. I’ve successfully set up one of the buttons to dim my connected lights, but I ran into a bit of a snag initially. If you’re looking to do something similar, here’s what I learned:
First, I tried using a direct connection, but I noticed that when I turned the lights off, the device lost power. To solve this, I had to add a small capacitor in parallel with the load. This kept the power supply stable even when the lights were off. It was a bit of trial and error, but it worked out perfectly!
On another note, I’ve been using Homey Pro and encountered an error when trying to send messages through flows. The error message was about a JavaScript MIME type issue. After some research and reaching out to the community, I found that clearing the cache and updating the firmware resolved the problem. If anyone else is facing this, I’d recommend checking the Homey forums for detailed troubleshooting steps.
I’d love to hear how others are setting up their Sonoff units or if anyone has tips for optimizing flows in Homey Pro. Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other out!
