Energy-Jason 442 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi All. Hope doing well. I would love to hook a Sonoff (With Relay if needed) to Put a schedule on our pool pump (Rated 0.75kW). It will probably jump up to 3.75kW on start up if I am correct. I would love a sonoff with all the mod cons with timer / Wifi. What can everyone suggest, Sincerely Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstott 38 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 My smart switch is used to switch a single phase 25A contactor , I would not reccomend using a sonoff to switch without a secondary contactor or solid state relay. Arandoza and NigelL 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It can be used as a timer and switched by wifi or remotely . The pump is a Speckpool pump 0.75kw . The remote is very handy we doing pool maintenance . The Spec pump seem to have a low start up load . ICC and Inverter startup load reading 1200 watt. Energy-Jason 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Energy-Jason 442 Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 Very cool. I believe I just have a off the shelf pool pump. I'll get its brand and specs. Really appreciate. Will post soon. Jay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaBz0r 62 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I also have a POW R2 and I agree that connectors are a bit rubbish. I flashedTasmota on it, was pretty simple and easy to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RikH 68 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Ah ok but that's not what I meant. I mean the other side of the sonoff, how do you send messages to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Kitley 2 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Hi I control my pool pump via home assistant and mqtt. I added sonoff dual into the pump elec box. It controls the light and pump. I also have a temp module in the weir that tells me water temp. The pool pump works with sunrise and runs multiple times during the day.

Bought from Communica fro my geysers Heya @Quat Allah Al Shams . Would you be able to provide the model number and brand of that unit you purchased with the sonoff. I would like to install the sonoff but I feel the inductive pool load will have its day with the poor sonoff. Please do let know. Sincerely Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am interested to know what you used for the temperature monitoring? Mind sharing the components you used? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jackie 2 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Hi all I am also running my Swimming poolpump, my Borehole pump and my water pressure pump using Sonoff Pows and Home Assistant. I've designed some 3d printed brackets and din rail clips for the Sonoffs so it can be mounted inside the DB but still be accessible, so if you have access to 3d printing this works well Have a look here for more info:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3343895 Edited February 4, 2020 by Jackie Gerrie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But since I don't have acces to a printer I just bought these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32971842029.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dbdnvmn Gerrie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
