:description: Instructions for setting up a Sonoff D1 dimmer switch.
:image: brightness-medium.svg
The ``sonoff_d1`` light platform creates a simple brightness-only light for the
hardware found in `Sonoff D1 dimmer <https://itead.cc/product/sonoff-d1-smart-dimmer-switch/>`__. Installations with Sonoff RM433 433MHz radio
remotes are also supported. Use this component to integrate Sonoff D1 dimmer into
ESPHome / Home Assistant ecosystem.

Sonoff D1 uses another MCU for light dimming and handling of radio commands.
It's hooked up to ESP8266 via UART bus with default RX / TX pins being used on
ESP8266 side. Bi-directional symmetric request / response protocol is implemented
between ESP8266 and MCU. ``sonoff_d1`` component implements this protocol and
translates between HA light commands and serial messages.
To replace the stock firmware with ESPHome you will need to locate GPIO0 pin and serial port. Photos below should help.

Before using this components make sure:
- board is configured to ``esp8285``
- :ref:`UART bus <uart>` is configured with default RX / TX pins and 9600 baud rate
- :doc:`logger </components/logger>` to the serial port is disabled by setting ``baud_rate`` to ``0``
- in case you need light state restoration on power up, make sure ``restore_from_flash`` is set to ``true`` in the :doc:`ESP8266 platform </components/esp8266>`
This component is useless for devices other than Sonoff D1 dimmer.

Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the light.
- **use_rm433_remote** (*Optional*, boolean): Set to ``True`` if your setup uses Sonoff RM433
or any other radio remote control. Properly setting this parameter allows the platform to
identify what to do with incoming UART commands. RF chip is known to catch random commands
if not paired with a real remote (so called ghost commands). This problem is observed even
with the stock firmware and most probably is a bug in the MCU firmware or in the RF chip
firmware. Setting this to ``False`` instructs the platform to properly ignore such commands
and thus prevent unexpected switches or light intensity changes.
- **min_value** (*Optional*, int): The lowest dimmer value allowed. Acceptable value for your
setup will depend on actual light bulbs installed and number of them. Start with the default
value and check what will be the minimal brightness bulbs can render. Pay attention that for
some dimmable LED lamps minimal turn-on brightness will be higher that the minimal achievable
brightness if you just decrease it when lamp is already turned on. Defaults to 0.
- **max_value** (*Optional*, int): The highest dimmer value allowed. Use this to hard-limit light
intensity for your setup. For some bulbs this parameter might be also useful to prevent
flickering at high brightness values. Defaults to 100.
- All other options from :ref:`Light <config-light>`.
