@BennyB44 had you already tried them with the original Tuya convert? I was able to flash them with the original version.
Yeah. I somehow got lucky with one downlight, but the rest just wouldnât work. Same result with this fork, the endless row of dots.
Itâs a bummer, I got all excited after I was able to flash a genio switch that wasnât working before.
Be patient.
On their Github there seems to be many more comments about lights not working over switches/plugs. There might still be some tweaking that needs to be done to enable lights to be flashed.
Itâs early days.
nope, might pick one up for myself. if i do ill update here
Got one this afternoon, here you go! Worked first time with Tuya-Convert 2. Model PC288HA
Update to the latest Tasmota after using Tuya-Convert, I used 6.6.0.13 from HERE, and a single press of the button controls Switch 1, a double press controls Switch 2. (Needs firmware 6.5.0.13 or higher for the button presses to work correctly.)
Switch 1 is the bottom point, Switch 2 is the top point. Enjoy!
{"NAME":"Arlec Twin","GPIO":[0,17,0,22,0,0,0,0,0,56,21,0,0],"FLAG":0,"BASE":18}
There is a list of working devices here.
The twin plug is still missing.
Would be great if you could contribute it.

I got one of these from Aldi for $50 the other dayâŚ

Itâs tuya-based and Iâm trying to get it tuya-converted to then put ESPHome onto it.
Curious if anyone else has had a crack?
Already submitted the info 5 mins after my post here 
I did one also for the single plug yesterday, but someone else beat me too it with an odd config that is different to the one I worked out.
Found these on Amazon for $32.55, theyâre Tuya based and appear to be exactly the same as the Brilliant ones that sell for $89.

Arrived this morning and have an SAA approval number on the back so seem to be certified but I havenât confirmed.
Update:
Flashed with the original tuya-convert code to tasmota with no problem and used the Teckin SS30 template, then uploaded the esphome .bin file below.

those setting up rpi from scratch (tuya-convert 2.0), there is a dependency missing from the pre-req script. do the below to install it.
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
also dont use apple devices. I used my iphone and it bricked my first switch. then tried with my old android on the second one it worked without any issues. BTW my switches are Arlec (single-PC189HA)
here is my esphome config:

I had a first go at ESPHome today and managed to get the Arlec Grid Twin integrated.
Thanks to @kanga_who for the Tasmota template and @cpuram for the ESPHome config for the single.

Hey guys, I went to aldi today and grabbed two boxes of 3 RGBW bulbs for $19.99 a box. Thats $6.60 a bulb !
flashed with esphome by wiring to the module with a TTL adapter.
theyre the same as the Brillians bulbs for config.
which chip does it use? the esp or the arm based one?
Yes, for electrical safety of a product it is the SAA mark you want to look for. Note that the C-tick is not really electrical safety but rather a communication electrical inference compliancy thing. And for smart switches, how and where products are install is pretty relevant too. IE an Australian roof space is very hot and some electrical devices may exceed safe temperature if installed in a roof space as opposed to a wall box as they might be intended.

Has anyone seen or tried these wall switches from Brilliant yet? They appear to be an Australian approved smart wall switch. Iâm guessing they must be tuya based, like the Brilliant smart plugs: https://www.brilliantsmart.com.au/smart-products/electrical/smart-elite/
There are others who also import these, they are tuya based. Over on whirlpool one person used the Srltech version which I believe has been around for a while and flashed them with Tasmota and used them with HA
can they be flashed with esphome as well then?
If you can flash Tasmota you can flash ESPhome. Just a matter of working out the configuration file.
Hi,
I am looking to source some automation gear, which will then be installed by a sparky, however I want to ensure that I choose equipment that is going to work.
I live in a place built in the '20âs and its electricals are antiquated. Iâm therefore assuming that the wiring within the house will not be the current standard. Would light switches be likely to have both active and neutral routed to them, or is it more likely that the active would come to the switch, and the neutral on the other end of the bulb?
TIA.
