While I was impressed by the Sonoff S20 build quality, at least the Sonoff basic series seem to be unreliable and even dangerous to use.

- kiallmacinnes 8y agoNone of mine look like this.. Could you have bought fakes?
- Rjevski 8y agoWould there be any profit in making fakes for those, given the already very low price of the original?
- kiallmacinnes 8y agoI'd say so! They are cheap from Sonoff, but way cheaper knockoffs are available on AliExpress.
