yes they have… me 
Per above, Tuya-Convert works, and I’ve submitted the Tasmota template for the light to the database. All seems to be working (though still need to set it up in HA!).

Found the problem with the new KOGAN power monitoring plugs. My ESP8266 running vtrust was not close enough to the plugs. Its been fine for most other appliances but not for these plugs. All converted without a firmware upgrade.
Also purchased the Kogan filament led bulbs. All tasmotised (if that’s a word). However one showed up in ap mode but l can’t connect to it after selecting the ap in Windows wifi settings. Hmm

Marginally off topic -
Have any of you lovely Aussies managed to integrate Amber Electric’s API into home assistant??
amber gives wholesale power prices for $10 a month subscription and publishes their prices every half hour. A great trigger for demand management automations.
I have the details to get the information but am pretty bloody rubbish with cURL and am totally lost TBPH!
“We love helping customers optimise their homes and there’s so much you can do, so don’t hesitate to have a chat with us if you’re interested and we’ll work with you.”
Have you tried contacting them in regards to it?
I hadn’t heard of them, so mostly just posting for a keep sake…
Hi @exxamalte, thanks for your efforts to get the Brilliant fan controller working. With the help of of yourself and @thecubical I’ve been able to get mine up and running, and I also now have it installed.
I’ve modified your approach and I think I have come up with a solution that doesn’t need any rules in Tasmota.
I have used the following setup for Tasmota:
TuyaMCU 11,1
TuyaMCU 12,9
TuyaMCU 21,10
SetOption59 1
SetOption66 1
and the following in Home Assistant
fan:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Fan Lounge"
command_topic: "cmnd/fc_bri_01/POWER1"
state_topic: "tele/fc_bri_01/STATE"
state_value_template: "{{ value_json.POWER1.STATE }}"
speed_command_topic: "cmnd/fc_bri_01/Backlog"
speed_state_topic: "tele/fc_bri_01/RESULT"
speed_value_template: >
{% if value_json.TuyaReceived.Data == "55AA03070005030400010016" %}
Power1 1; TuyaSend4 3,0
{% elif value_json.TuyaReceived.Data == "55AA03070005030400010117" %}
Power1 1; TuyaSend4 3,1
{% elif value_json.TuyaReceived.Data == "55AA03070005030400010218" %}
Power1 1; TuyaSend4 3,2
{% endif %}
availability_topic: tele/fc_bri_01/LWT
payload_available: Online
payload_not_available: Offline
payload_low_speed: "Power1 1; TuyaSend4 3,0"
payload_medium_speed: "Power1 1; TuyaSend4 3,1"
payload_high_speed: "Power1 1; TuyaSend4 3,2"
payload_off: "OFF"
payload_on: "ON"
qos: 1
retain: false
speeds:
- low
- medium
- high
It’s not the most elegant solution, but it seems to work so far. I may try to improve it so the payload isn’t so clunky.

Hi HasQT,
The best place to see what amber are about is their site How it Works
I started a HA thread to try to dig into their data. I can get the real time data no problem, it’s mooshing it into a shape that home assistant likes that im struggling with.
Nailing this will allow us to actively ‘demand manage’ based on price to save a little cash 
Yes I saw that link after your initial post. Quite interesting. My quote was from their site. So I was suggesting they may be interested in helping you/them for mutual benefit.
Not for me at this point as I think I’d have to give up my pfit, besides I find powershop very competitive.

How much were those bulbs from the Reject shop? Cant find them on their website
I saw these in Bunnings last week. Could be of interest, I wasn’t ready for spending money at the time. They look pretty cool, obviously we would want to de-cloud them
at a guess…
That looks quite promising!
Anyone got a working ESPHome configuration file for the Deta switches? or alternatively advice on how to use the Tasmota config with ESPHome?
If you have a working Tasmota config / template you can translate easily based on whatever GPIO is being used. Some info here (as long as there are no Tuya-MCU’s in there as they are not supported by ESPhome yet…as far as I know)
I have looked at that…wasn’t sure it was completely the same, but it probably is. I would like to try and convert the Brilliant fan controller code a few posts above to ESPhome if possible. I’ll try and look into it in more detail over the holidays
I am not sure either. I saw the ref in the docs to MCU.
Roll on holidays!

$15. I couldn’t find them on the website either. But just walked into one randomly, and they had a bunch.
Has anyone tried the Kogan plugs with the USB ports?

Pretty sure this is what you are looking for.
On a side note, I had one of my original Kogan plugs (with monitoring) die on me over the weekend… left my beer fridge in a bad way. Unfortunately my code to alert me was only based on the power level being low for too long and didn’t pickup on a completely failed plug… code now fixed to capture both possibilites
