+
+The Sonoff range of products containing the ESP chips from espressif has a myriad of uses and best of all, you can customize it, aka hackable.
+This quick cookbook aims to provide a clear, simple working example.
+
+This example is very basic in it's operation.
+
+* Start the pump every hour and run it for 10 minutes.
+* Manually start and stop the pump with the toggle button on the Sonoff basic.
+* Use a water float sensor and stop the pump if water level is too low.
+
+*Some of the later Sonoff basics does not have GPIO pin available, check your board first*
+
+This example is using ESPHome 1.10.1 and Home Assistant 0.85.1
+
+Assumptions
+-----------
+
+As many of the details on here a predicated on existing installations and knowledge the following is assumed:
+
+* You have installed the relevant environment and it is functional (Home Assisant, esphomeyaml).
+* You need to create your own secrets.yaml file.
+* You are proficient in reading instructions and capable of using a search engine.
+* You will look at the documentation on https://esphomelib.com/ (we may have missed something in this example).
+* This serves only as a guide and errors and outlets are excluded.
+
+.. warning::
+
+    Do NOT connect your device to electricity when programming it.
+    Take care working with electricity at all times
+
+
+1. Configuration

+2. Programming
+**************
+Follow the standard way of uploading to your Sonoff basic.
+
+.. figure:: images/sonoff-fishpond-pump-1-programming.jpg
+    :align: center
+    :width: 75.0%
+
+
+For USB uploads this generally includes:
+
+* Modifications (soldering) made on the PCB for USB UART / FTDI uploads.
+* The relevant USB UART / FTDI uploads device connected to you PC and to your Sonoff.
+* Start Sonoff in programming mode.
+* Compile and upload the firmware via USB using ``esphomeyaml <some-yaml-file> run``.
+
+For OTA the generally includes:
+
+* Ensure device is on.
+* Compile and upload the firmware via USB using ``esphomeyaml <some-yaml-file> run``.
+
+Both options USB and OTA are done by running the command:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    esphomeyaml <some-yaml-file> run
+
+More details on programming can be found on :doc:`Sonoff Basic section </esphomeyaml/devices/sonoff_basic>`
+
+3. Prepping and installing
+****************************
+
+* Ensure power is switched off.
+* You can now add your water level sensor wiring to the PCB and have it extrude, SAFELY, next to your connector block.
+* Here it will be the further most pin (GPIO14) you soldered from the toggle button and then pin (Ground) next to it.
+* You can now easily connect and disconnect your liquid level sensor.
+
+Connecting it
+
+* Connect your water level sensor.
+* Connect your pump to the Sonoff output.
+* Connect your input electrical wiring.
+* Test all connections are securely fastened.
+* You can toggle the on/off of the pump by pressing the toggle button.
+
+
+Once the pump is running changing the position of the float in the float sensor will cause the Sonoff to stop the pump.

+
+In this PVC housing the plates are secured using cabinet door magnets for easier access and maintenance.
+
+* Ensure you are using a proper and compliant waterproof box to house your electrical equipment (Sonoff basic) in.
+* Ensure you plan to be able to remove the unit with minimal effort should you need to manually USB reflash it again in future.
+
+2.6. Home Assistant
+*******************
+
+You can now add your device to home assistant via the configurations page and under the Integrations option

+
+More detailed breakdown
+-----------------------
+
+1. Programming
+**************
+
+Ensure you have soldered on the additional header pins to the PCB and connect your USB FTDI programmer.
+See https://randomnerdtutorials.com/how-to-flash-a-custom-firmware-to-sonoff/ for more details on the pinout and FTDI.
+
+1.1. Put Sonoff into programming mode.
+**************************************
+
+* Press and hold the toggle pin (long black pin next to LED and custom soldered pins).
+* Supply USB power to Sonoff via FTDI (e.g. plug in USB to the FTDI, or use a power switch as explained in link above).
+* Keep holding the toggle pin for approx 3-5 seconds now you should be ready to program. If you get a message unable to communicate when trying flash, check your TX/RX pin or retry entering boot mode again.
+
+Quick notes:
+
+* 3.3V setting on FTDI, 5V will cause damage.
+* Ensure the connections on the PCB starts at  the closed to the toggle pin, it uses 4 pins, but 5 pins are soldered on.
+* TX and RX should be swapped - RX on Sonoff goes to TX on FTDI.
+
+
+1.2. Upload the firmware
+************************
+
+Run this command from the same directory where your <my-awesome>.yaml file is located
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  esphomeyaml <my-awesome>.yaml run
+
+Or if you're using the dashboard, just click the "UPLOAD" button.

+
+
+
+1.4. Test now with OTA flashing
+*******************************
+
+Before installing the Sonoff, do a final OTA test, and this time selecting the OTA option and NOT the USB option when reflashing.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    esphomeyaml <my-awesome>.yaml run
+
+Once these actions succeeded you are pretty much in the clear and can be sure your device is ready.
