Which firmware do you plan to flash them with? With Tasmotta or with a custom Arduino code?
I’ve never flashed those devices with ESP8285, but it should work with this setting in the Arduino IDE in the Tools menu:

  • Board: Generic ESP8285 Module
  • Flash Mode DOUT

Regards,
Rui

Really do not know which would be the best firmware to use.  Arduino could be used.  What I want to do is take this sonoff basic and break it on a small extension cord with 3 wires.  I want to add a temp sensor to the sonoff so I can read temp inside of the my hot-tub shell.  I just had a major freeze up on my hot tub so I want to try to prevent this.  Then put a very small heater inside where all the piping is run.  So I need to find a pin I can use to put the temp sensor on.

I’m not sure either, I would probably build a custom firmware because I’m used to it. But you should be able to flash the SONOFF using the recommended settings that I’ve mentioned in my previous comment.
