ESPurna Firmware
ESPurna ("spark" in Catalan) is a custom firmware for ESP8266 based smart switches.
It was originally developed with the IteadStudio Sonoff in mind but now it supports a growing number of ESP8266-based boards.
It uses the Arduino Core for ESP8266 framework and a number of 3rd party libraries.
Current Release Version is 1.12.1
Read the changes log.

- Raw analog and digital sensors
- Simple pulse counter
- All temperature sensors support Fahrenheit and Celsius
- Support for LED lights
- MY92XX-based light bulbs and PWM LED strips (dimmers) up to 5 channels (RGB, cold white and warm white, for instance)
- RGB and HSV color codes supported
- Manage channels individually
- Temperature color supported (in mired and kelvin) via MQTT / REST API
- Flicker-free PWM management
- Soft color transitions
- Color synchronization between light using MQTT
- Fast asynchronous HTTP Server
- Configurable port
- Basic authentication
- Web-based configuration
- Relay switching and sensor data from the web interface
- Handle color, brightness, and white/warm channels for lights
- Websockets-based communication between the device and the browser
- Backup and restore settings option
- Upgrade firmware from the web interface
- Works great behind a secured reverse proxy
- REST API (enable/disable from web interface)
- GET and PUT relay status
- Change light color (for supported hardware)
- GET sensor data (power, current, voltage, temperature and humidity) depending on the available hardware
- Works great behind a secured reverse proxy
- RPC API (enable/disable from web interface)
- Over-The-Air (OTA) updates even for 1Mb boards
- Manually from PlatformIO or Arduino IDE
- Automatic updates through the NoFUSS Library
- Update from web interface using pre-built images
- Command line configuration
- Change configuration
- Run special commands
- Telnet support
- Enable/disable via the web UI
- Show debug info and allows to run terminal commands
- Unstable system check
- Detects unstable system (crashes on boot continuously) and defaults to a stable system
- Only WiFi AP, OTA and Telnet available if system is flagged as unstable
- Button interface
- Click to toggle relays
- Double click to enter AP mode (only main button)
- Long click (>1 second) to reboot device (only main button)
- Extra long click (>10 seconds) to go back to factory settings (only main button)
- Specific definitions for touch button devices (ESPurna Switch, Sonoff Touch & T1)
Notices
2018-01-11: As of current version (1.12.0) ESPurna is tested using Arduino Core 2.3.0 and it's meant to be built against that version.
2017-08-26: since version 1.9.0 the default MQTT topics for commands have changed. They all now end with "/set". This means you will have to change your controller software (Node-RED or alike) to send messages to -for instance- "/home/living/light/relay/0/set". The device will publish its state in "/home/living/light/relay/0" like before.
2017-07-24: Default flash layout changed in 1.8.3, as an unpredicted consequence devices will not be able to persist/retrieve configuration if flashed with 1.8.3 via OTA from PlatformIO. Please check issue #187.
Contribute
There are several ways to contribute to ESpurna development. You can contribute to the repository by doing:
- Pull requests (fixes, enhancements, new features... are very welcome)
- Documentation (I reckon I'm bad at it)
- Testing (filing issues or help resolving them, they take a lot of time and sometimes I don't have the required hardware to test them all)
And of course you can always buy me a beer, coffee, tea,... via the donation button below.
