Because these dimmers come in a small package, they lack a bit on the safety and interference side. A good idea would be to add a 1A fuse in the AC line and a R/C Snubber on the output. I also read somewhere that they work less well on 110VAC but this could probably be solved using a firmware update. The ESP8266 and Atmega are isolated from Mains. The used 220v-5V converter is the tried and tested HiLink 5V 0.6A PM01, but without the case. Because these dimmers come in a small package, they lack a bit on the safety and interference side.

For now, to use these dimmers you need to take it apart and flash new firmware to the ESP8266 and the Atmega328p using the Arduino IDE. The whole process is quite well documented for the [single](Wifi-Single-Dimmer-Board/Wifi-Single-Dimmer-Board/Document/A0004_Wifi_One_Dimmer_1A_Board.pdf) and [dual](Wifi-Two-Dimmer-Board/Doc/WiFi-Two-triac(SMD).pdf) dimmers. But you do need a USB to serial bridge, at best one with the DTR and RTS signals broken out as well.

But you do need a USB to serial bridge, at best one with the DTR and RTS signals broken out as well. The software can be found in two Github repositories, for the [single](https://github.com/wvdv2002/Wifi-Single-Dimmer-Board/blob/master/Wifi-Single-Dimmer-Board/Arduino_Code/Atmega_Single_dimmerV0_6/Atmega_Single_dimmerV0_6.ino) and [dual](https://github.com/wvdv2002/Wifi-Two-Dimmer-Board/tree/master/Arduino_Code/Atmega328_two_dimmerV0.4_Tasmota) dimmer.
The Armtronix dimmer can be used in the Tasmota firmware by uncommenting the line `#define USE_ARMTRONIX_DIMMERS` in my_user_config.h and setting the module to ARMTR Dimmer.
