thanks! ill give it a go then. hopefully it goes as smoothly for me

I ended up picking up 7 of the Zemismart downlights also, thanks for the heads up and supplied configuration @1972rx2! :+1:

Donā€™t know if @1972rx2 experienced this but after flashing with ESPHome when toggled via HA would cycle through colours before turning on or off.

A simple power cycle fixed the issue (if not testing before installing you wouldnā€™t notice). Believe I had a similar issue with the Mirabella Genio bulbs I purchased. Something to do with the flash jumbles things around requiring a reboot.

Sorry, forgot to mention that. Digiblur mentions you need to power cycle lights after flashing. All good after that, thanks for pointing that out.

Holy mackerel those prices

Reminds me of the old days with Control4

Just finished up flashing with ESPHome one of the Mirabella Genio IR controller from Kmart.
These can be used as alternatives to the Broadlink mini/rm or additional IR commanders.

They can be flashed using tuya-convert or by directly attaching to the required header pins inside (requires triangle security screwdriver to open).

Shoutout to @ Radebe2k for initial Tasmota config.

Could you post this please :slight_smile:

edit:: Is it this?

yeah mate thats it

Any luck flashing these? Iā€™d like to get the power board :smiley:

Also would like to know if these can be flashed (preferably with esphome)
https://www.bunnings.com.au/tp-link-white-smart-wi-fi-wall-plug-with-energy-monitoring_p0090977

I know the kogan ones are cheaper but Iā€™m after something asap

The TP-link plugs are already intergrated in HA via a component, so work out of the box. I have a couple of the HS-100ā€™s, they work very well in HA.

You can flash the Arlec plugs if you feel like pulling them apart and soldering some wires.

Great, thanks mate.
I guess I can do the tuyaconvert OTA using my HA pi :smiley:

The difficult part is how to know the GPIO settings for this board?


The closest I could find was this
http://www.thesmarthomehookup.com/other/sold-as-lefun-other/

The HS-110 should be able to handle a washing machine or dryer load right?

Edit: Yes they can :smiley:
https://www.tp-link.com/au/home-networking/smart-plug/hs110/#specifications

The TP-Link HS100/110 smart plugs are rated for a maximum load of 10A and power of 3.68KW (3680W). So yes, I use them for ours without any issue.

I could not get tuya-convert to work on my Arlec plug. If you have more luck, let me know.
It should not be too difficult to get it flashed by adding some wires. You need a triangle screwdriver!

good luck

Thanks kanga_who and cryptelli for the confirmation

Roland
I havenā€™t bought one yet, was waiting for your to one of you guys to confirm it working first lol
Did you try the tuya convert OTA or wires method?

My biggest challenge I think is figuring out the GPIO settings once flashed.

Not overly keen on getting one as I have a few RF plugs from Aldi going back years ago that are serving me well. No HA status on/off but we donā€™t operate these switches via the button/remote anyway

I donā€™t have any of the Arlec devices yet, keen to get my hands on the smart power board though and try flashing it with ESPHome.

Iā€™d be soldering wires to the chip directly and not worrying about tuya-convert.

Trial and error my friend.

I heard you can brick the device with GPIO trial and error :grin:

But I guess thatā€™s half the fun!

Just saw this in my google News feed, Brilliant ā€˜smartā€™ downlights at Also:

Iā€™ve just spent ages trying to flash some of these Zemismart downlights with Tuya-convert without success. Any tips? I power cycled the downlight until it started flashing on and off rapidly which Iā€™m guessing is ā€˜pairing modeā€™ but the Tuya-convert script doesnā€™t seem to be detecting the downlight. The thing is though, the light stops flashing on and off, suggesting that itā€™s doing something. Waiting doesnā€™t seem to workā€¦

Roughly how long are you waiting for? I know mine after they stopped flashing the tuya-convert script still had dots going across and then all of a sudden it launched into the backup stage.

I must have left it for at least 10 mins on one attempt. I was actually surprised it didnā€™t time outā€¦

funny. the Brilliant app is all nicely branded. Google play privacy note points to tuyaā€¦
