  1. These are drivers I've written myself.

    You need to flash the Sonoff kit with Tasmota or ESPurna, see https://github.com/xoseperez/espurna/wiki or https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki.

    You then need to setup an MQTT broker either locally or in the cloud, see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-the-mosquitto-mqtt-messaging-broker-on-ubuntu-18-04.

    My driver does not currently support SSL so I use a local MQTT broker and rather than open firewall ports to it I bridge it with a cloud based broker eg. AWS IoT or Digital Ocean as above.

    I use MQTT Dash on my Android phone, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.routix.mqttdash&hl=en_GB, which enables me to setup simple buttons etc. to issue commands to my Control4 system.

    I also have a simple Relay Light driver that allows you to connect lights up to Sonoff relays and they then appear as normal Control4 lights.

    Very good kit and very fast interface/control.

    If you would like to play with the drivers I have in beta then send me an email address and I'll email you the drivers. I assume you are able to install drivers on you Control4 system?

    Bump.  

    Has anyone ever looked at these?  They look very interesting and seem to have interesting functionality and they are very cheap - as in outlet switches for $17, switch/relay for about $7.

    Yes.

    This is a good piece of kit. 

    Open source hardware. Out of the box it requires that you use the Sonoff app and their AWS MQTT servers but you are able to put your own firmware on the device which opens it up eg. ESPurna or Tasmota.

    I have a full MQTT Bridge driver and Sonoff Relay driver that enables you to use your own MQTT Broker.

    Works a treat.
