This is a standalone firmware for the named smart plugs/sockets, supporting:
- Philips Hue hub V1 emulation (courtesy of github.com/vintlabs/fauxmoESP, TCP port 80) to enable Alexa speech control
- Telnet monitor for plug operations (TCP port 23)
- 16 programmable timer events
- OTA flashing of new firmware
- Modbus server (TCP port 502) for
- run time statictics
- timer programming
- power metering (Gosund SP1 only)
- event monitoring
No app, no cloud service, no data transfers outside your home network
After flashing the firmware to a device, it will be uninitialized. If you will plug it in, it will be in configuration mode. Note: to later get into configuration mode again, press the button within the first 3 seconds after plugging the device. To indicate this time, the signal LED will continuously flash in short intervals.
The signal LED will flash three times, then pause a beat, then start again to signal configuration mode has been activated. To get to the configuration page, you need to connect to the temporary WiFi network the device has set up. The network is named (SSID is) "Socket_XXXXXX", with "XXXXXX" as the last 6 hexadecimal digits of the device's chip ID. The password is "Maelstrom" unless you have changed it in the source. Once you have made a successful connection to that network and received an IP address, open your browser to http://192.168.4.1. Now the configuration page will be displayed:
Fill in your WiFi network SSID and password. Then give the device a unique name it will be using as host name, OTA name etc. Finally choose an OTA password to secure your future OTA firmware transfers.
Clicking on Save will store your data in EEPROM.
Finally click on Reset to restart the device and apply your configurations.
Plug in the device, then wait some seconds for it to settle. The signal LED will flash in quick succession first to allow you to press the button for configuration mode. After that, the device will try to connect to your WiFi network with the data you gave at the configuration. This is indicated by a slow blink of the signal LED: Finally a short blink will signal it has read the configuration data and is ready.
Press the device's button firmly for a short time, then release it to switch the socket on and off. The power LED will light in ON state.
(This of course will only apply if you configured TELNET_LOG 1 in the source code!)
Use a terminal program (like the recommended putty on Windows) to connect to the device on TCP port 23. You may use the device name you configured, or the device's IP address. The terminal program should be set to "Add a CR to every LF" to have clean line breaks.
Terminal output will be like

(only available if you compiled with the TIMERS flag set to 1!)
There are 16 programmable timers available, that independently can switch the socket ON or OFF, based on the day of week, hour and minute. Timers are controlled by their Modbus register values.
| Register | MSB | LSB | Remarks |

| 7 - 1=timer active, else inactive | 7 - reserved | ||
| Second | Hour to fire the timer 0..23 | Minute to fire the timer 0..59 |
The timers are checked every 30s only, so expect inaccuracy up to that time span.
There is a Linux utility called Smartdose in the "Extras" folder of this repository.
You may use that to remotely control all socket functions. See the README file there for detailed information.
To deactivate all 16 timers you can press the socket's button and hold it down for 1s. A new activation can only be done by Modbus requests.
The Modbus server running on the smart plus will give out internal values as "holding registers", hence function code 0x03 READ_HOLD_REGISTER can be used to retrieve these values. Register addresses 1 to 8 are available on any device, regardless of type, whereas registers 9 and onward are only valid for Gosund SP1 devices.

| 56.. | Event slots (see below) |
Note: all measurement values are sent as an IEEE754 float number in MSB-first byte sequence. The 4 bytes of that float will use two consecutive registers.
The registers 1, 2, 9 and 10 marked as write enabled can be set with the 0x06 WRITE_HOLD_REGISTER function code. The timer registers 23..54 can only be written with function code 0x10 WRITE_MULT_REGISTERS.
Since the Gosund built-in meters are somewhat inaccurate, you may modify the measured results with a constant factor at least. So if f.i. the voltage is off by about 3%, you can set a voltage correction factor of 1.03 to have that adjusted. You will need a good meter to measure the values at the smart plug outlet.
Please be careful not to touch any powered parts to avoid electrical shock - rather leave all as is if you do not exactly know what you are doing!
The correction factors are modified as follows:
- use function code 0x43 USER_DEFINED_43 to send a correction factor. The first byte has to be one of 0=voltage, 1=current or 2=power, followed by a 4-byte IEEE754 float value with the factor.
Each 16 bit register value is split into 3 parts:
- bits 0..5 : minutes or month, depending on event
- bits 6..10 : hours or day of month, depending on event
- bits 11..15 : event type
The event type is one of
- 0 : NO_EVENT
- 1 : DATE_CHANGE
- 2 : BOOT_DATE
- 3 : BOOT_TIME
- 4 : DEFAULT_ON
- 5 : BUTTON_ON
- 6 : BUTTON_OFF
- 7 : MODBUS_ON
- 8 : MODBUS_OFF
- 9 : TIMER_ON
- 10 : TIMER_OFF
- 11 : FAUXMO_ON
- 12 : FAUXMO_OFF
