    I'm getting together to buy a sonofa mini and upload espeasy, but I can't find anywhere how to configure espeasy in sonofa(what devices to add and under what gpio) - I can only find for sonofa basic. Additionally, what is the wiring diagram of the sonofa to the programmer and will the programmer be ok? I am green in this subject so please help me a lot.

    And just out of curiosity, how is tasmota better than espeasa and will it work with domoticz on malinka?

    Better at what? Everything. Mainly in that it is stable. Maybe a little more difficult to set up, but it works for months in contrast to espeasy, which I have the impression is becoming less and less stable since 2018. With Domoticz it works as well as with any other Smart Home system

    Ok, many thanks. Still on the subject of the sonofa, is it worth taking it, or maybe some other one, or putting it together myself?

    What specifically is this device to be used for?

    As a controller for lighting(I care about being able to control from domoticz and a physical button), but I've heard that sonofashes are on fire.

    How best to embrace this?

    What I mean is whether to use a sonofa or perhaps another device, or whether to make them myself?

    I think you should upload espeasy to sonoff to start with.

    Ok, but what I mean is whether to use a sonofa or maybe shelly or make such a controller myself, because I've heard that sonofa can burn out

    .
    For shelly you will find it more difficult to upload espeasy if you are doing it for the first time. Making the circuit yourself with the ESP8266 is not difficult, what is more difficult is designing a suitable power supply circuit for the ESP.
    I am attaching the sonoff schematic for an example.

    Ok thanks. I was just wondering if the sonoff can burn out easily, and if it can be used, or if you can embrace your own circuit or use the circuit from here. And one more question: i also wanted to make smart blinds and i found a video where a 28byj-48 stepper motor from esp8266 is used. I would be able to write a script that when it gets e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx/80 it will cover the blind up to 80%, only will it be possible to implement this properly to domoticz(I just don't know how to send the device status to domoticz). I wanted to use 5 blind positions here 0%-covered, 20%, 50%, 80% and 100%.

    .
    If you have in mind something like the image below (a frame from the video clip you provided a link to), I would advise against it. Such an arrangement is reasonably safe provided it stays on the table :) .

    Ok, thanks a lot. One last question regarding that shutter motor I asked a bit above.

    Thanks. And is there any course that would make me grasp how to implement communication with domoticz over mqtt into code in arduino?

    .
    A course is maybe not, but there is a relatively simple library (with a usage example) that you can use for your own code in Arduino (ESP8266):
    https://github.com/puzon/ESP_DomoticzMQTT_library
    Another, more elaborate one:

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around configuring the Sonoff Mini with ESPeasy firmware and the associated wiring diagram for programming. Users express concerns about the stability of ESPeasy compared to Tasmota, with some recommending Tasmota for its reliability. The Sonoff Mini is considered for use as a lighting controller compatible with Domoticz, but there are warnings about potential fire hazards. Alternatives like Shelly and DIY solutions using ESP8266 are also discussed, with emphasis on the challenges of setting up custom circuits. Additional inquiries include implementing smart blinds with a stepper motor and integrating device status with Domoticz via MQTT.
