I believe this is what the 'Power on State' is on the eWelink app
If it is set to 'on' after a black out or power outage and as it comes back online... It will switch on. Vice versa for off...

Thought I got geeked out, y'all on whole nuther level.
I like my arduino, I use it to switch gradually from veg to flower, like sunrise sunset it's not too common but I don't think that is a reason to shy away from it cause this endevour is riddled with bro science....
Keep on keepin on, I'm still looking to incorporate some form of sunrise sunset or initiator lights.

I am using a prototype of my far red board using an lpc-60-1050 driver to control and a sonoff basic with the daily schedule.
I also use arduino based but I have not programmed wifi yet. GrowGreen led controller but sonoffs are great too.

If you set the device state to "keep" in the settings it will do what you want. I think the default setting is off.

i was replying to the question to when power is restored. But yes...i believe this to be true. I have mine set to 'off'

I've voted SAWN OFF as I got a Ardino,Itz been a while since i posted a new thread in here....i feel excited like that 16 year old school girl i once was...
So thought maybe i would put up a thread on the Sonoff wireless modules i have incorporated into my fixtures and my thoughts so far. (me and @bizfactory have been testing them for the last month or so...but im sure others have already done this)
Sonoff were a Russian company but have been brought by 'Itead' out of China i believe.
Basically they are a simple and cheap replacement for your timers that are controlled from wifi from your phone or tablet. A simple way to snazzy up your LED lights who if you are like me are daunted by Aduino and the like.
After i had wired them in and set them up with the timer.....i turned off my wifi (and data) to see if the timers would work independent (internal) of signal ...clicked on my LEDs without an issue.The modules have manual switches on their shell so that you can overide the switch or if your wifi isnt working or you cant get signal in your grow space. Each module can handle 10 amps although i havent tested the capacity. They have a handy little green night light that emits from them...almost like they had growers in mind
The App that is recommended by 'Itead' is 'eWeLink'....simple search and download....and pair it up. Done! You can get 150 devices on this one app apparently....
I also have a temp/humidity controller/module Sonoff so i can see remotely at any time those figures and control a fan and/or humidifier to get to a desired level (in app preferences) ....(im gonna pop another one in my still to be configured drying tent in a few weekz)
Details here: https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-wifi-wireless-switch.html
I have communicated with 'Itead' and asked about a wireless dimmer module...they replied saying they used to have one but was problematic and removed from the list. They told me they will be looking into it again
I actually got these cos i wanted a new timer....these were cheaper...was a cool find.
So yeah....about a month in...no issues at all. This might not be for everyone....but thought id throw it out there

far far more flexible, you should have made Ardino a choice
good luck

Your arduino efforts kind of what got me going down the road with it, thanks

For me Arduino seems to be the next step personally. But it seems, it will need more time, to get into it, and use it properly, like the spectrum change I am really interested in, because I am doing it manually atm! Or far red with dimming, instead of on/off, and so on.
But with these sonoff‘s I was able, and everyone will be, to set up some easy wifi controled power board, with a few nice extra features like temprature/humidity control, remote key control, and so on... without any knowledge, or time intense studying!

I'm about to upgrade my Ardino to a Raspberry PI3 (kodi) the add ons are just so (scream) CHEAP
by the time I've finished it well may be a clone of the International Space Station ....lol

I have a Bannana Pi Rasperberry Pi and orange Pi. I have too much Pi and not enough time to play with them all, and finally arduino has a wifi built in on the board using esp86 format chip. Just so many lamnguages. I did the Openhab, MQTT, node-red etc and decided Sonoff's was less painful to my brain. I have my Far Red set up on a lpc-60-1050 driver driven by a Sonoff too for 30 minutes. Sonoff has timers, repeat timers and day schedules. just too easy and private wifi too.

@Chronikool everything still hunky dory with your switches? Just about to grab a bunch of em.

Good enough for me. Got a few switches and a TH16 on the way!

if only they would allow timers with less than 1 minute increments :/ and more than 8 per sonoff

Are you talking about gradually changing your ON/OFF time or are you changing the light intensity too?
I didn't know people were doing Arduino (or any other) projects in here too! AWESOME! I'm running a small hydroponic cloner with a light that's powered by an Arduino. I've got a DIY EC meter hooked to the board, a temp meter, an RTC, and much more, it makes me feel like a scientist!
