why does it have to be zemismart branded?
Don't care about the brand. But finding smart devices with ESP8266's and firmware that can be reflashed is almost impossible nowadays.
What form factor do you want? Are you thinking about local tuya? I was contacting a factory in china and got a quote for the downlight but their MOQ is 1000 pc a year. I believe they would be happy to just load your custom firmware if you can reach that?
@yfxsmike: Wanting to run Tasmota on them. With the pre-2019 firmware, you could flash them OTA with Tuya-Convert. Tuya changed the encryption protocol somewhere in 2019, so you can't reflash devices anymore.
I'll reach out on a few forums for other interested folks, and see if we can reach a 1000 qty order.
@nemesis: Yeah, just trying to help out. I consulted that factory wanted to solve the new apartment that my girlfriend rented with all downlights. Got a sample and the quality seems good. They claimed that they are producing a downlight for Aldi which will come soon. The MOQ is just too much for myself so I have left them hanging by telling them I can't get them to work normally. I don't see any problem for them if you ask them not to use tuya which they need to a license fee for.
You can always do Tuya local if you are looking for cloud-free - that is on Home Assistant.
How does Tuya local work? Spoofs the Tuya server?
It gives a local ID to the device so that it operates through your local server (eg Raspberry Pi running HA). So yes - sort of spoofs the Tuya server.
That way you don't need the Internet or the Tuya cloud - you can then bar access to the web for those devices. Much faster because it is local and less open to intrusion.
Tuya provides a key - there are a few videos on YouTube showing how to do it. Tuya is about to bring out a new version of software that makes it possible to have "officially" local instead of this "hack". Beta is available now.
@Public21: Oh this is great - I have a few bulbs I was contemplating going through all the effort to flash with Tasmota but this sounds much easier. Will look it up
@Public21: Official local still tries polling externally I'd bet. Would love to see their "local" version and what my DNS server gets requested.
@Tacooo: Yep - that's why the Tuya Local developer points out you also have to block the ports via your router's Network Services Filter, not just block internet access. If you don't do that it will hang trying to access the ports (from memory TCP 80 & 53 and UDP 53)
I will be very tempted to maintain Tuya Local, but Tuya might block access to the Local ID needed.
@Public21: Could I set up all my Tuya devices on one router with a different subnet and still have my Smartthings router work with it? Unfortunately Plume is the router software installed on the Smartthings router and it's very limited with blocking access. It completely blocks the device even on the local network and uses simplistic DNS filters for content filtering. It can't block ports per device.
Why do you want WiFi rather than ZigBee?
I thought the only advantage in the past was price.Number of devices, range, interoperability with existing systems.
"number of devices" is a limit on any one hub/router. Not a protocol thing.
People are more likely to suffer from it with wifi.My Zigbee mesh has greater range than my wifi (not a mesh).
interoperability is not an issues either. Do your wifi devices talk direct to each other?
Dude just rip them apart. I've been buying Kogan bulbs all year and flashing them with a USB>TTL adapter. They all run a TYWE3S (or more lately a TYWE3L) and can be flashed with no issue. Shit I'll even do an in-person tutorial to anyone who lives in Melbourne if they want.
Also, DETA sell an ESP8285 device that's flashable in a fluoro tube form factor now. Buy at Bunnings.
@sky-zemismart Any chance of ordering some of the Zemismart-branded TuYa/WiFi bulbs specifically running the pre-2019 firmware? Or better, pre-flashed with a supplied .bin file?
I'll even round up a group of others whom are interested, if you need to meet a MOQ…
