SonOff B1 LED Bulb pairing issues

Hi you all,

I got pairing issues with the very first SonOff B1R1 LED Bulb.

To set the buld into pairing mode you have to power cycle 3x times (On-Off-On-Off-On) and the light begins to cycle through colors as indication that it is in pairing mode.

It pairs correctly with my main WiFi network, but I have setup another WiFi netword that is totally isolated from my main network and here begins the problem with not pairing.

The only thing I noticed that it could be an password related issue.
I think this because my main WiFi network has an fairly simple password with special characters as of the isolated WiFi network password only contains numbers and letters for easy remembering.

I easely could reconfigure the routers WiFi password and test again but the reason I did not is that so many devices are connected to that network that need to stay online 24/7.

Are there known WiFi issues with SonOff devices that hase simple or strage characters in their WiFi password phrase ?

I wouild like to now what is allowed in the WiFi password:

  1. What are the minimum charaters allowed.
  2. What are the maximum characters allowed.
  3. Can we use spacial characters in the password.

If someone have some idea I realy like to hear.

Thanks in advance.

There’s no such limitation, as far as I know.

For more information, please contact SONOFF:

Okay I will try to contact them.
Thanks
