Australia - Electrically Certified Hardware

thanks @tinglis1 @SebuZet @sparkydave .
I saw that shortly after I posted and I spent much of my last night trying to get the token. I have MIM-H02 and looks like it uses 2878 port. there are some npm based solutions but I think my lack of understanding with node.js is causing me trouble. trying to read and leard how to install and run (mostly run) npm apps/modules.

D’oh silly me

ok, for anyone interested, I have installed MIM-H02 wifikit to my existing ducted samsung aircon and configured climate_ip. everything works great.
Thanks to @SebuZet for the awesome component

For the brilliant smart switches I phoned them and they sent me this link for the government approval

Hi Everyone,

I’m the guy who started this post way back in Nov 2017, my goal was to get some convo going in and around Aussie certified products so that people could purchase and implement with confidence as there are heaps out there that are not certified :hushed:. I left the HA scene for a year or so and wow I cannot believe it’s gone nuts, such great posts, thanks to all of you for contributing :+1:

I am seeking some help, I purchased some GPO sockets and wall switches link below they are based on Tuya and TYWE3S I believe.

Has anyone got these swtiches or GPO’s working directly in HA without any modification or do they need to be converted to Tuya / Tasmota? If so please can someone provide some instructions of how to get this converted as I am new on this tech. I tried Tuya-Convert with a strip plug and it bricked it after the last step :slightly_frowning_face:

Thanks in advance

Welcome back!

You should be able to use them with HA using the Tuya integration, but that will be via their cloud server, so not ‘directly’. ‘Directly’ will require flashing, and as mentioned many times in this thread it would void the certification, but hey, if its melted no one will know what firmware was previously on it.

Good to be back thanks Dave.

I did manage to get the Device ID and Local Key from the PowerStrip and used Local Tuya using the github link below from stast1 and it worked. I got FOMO with Tuya / Tasmota but not sure what the benefit is other than getting off the cloud but tried it anyway and bricked the PowerStrip so I want to find some instructions that definately work before I try again. Do you have any instructions, what to do and not what to do?

I know I posted about the GPO and light switch but I want to get the PowerStrip working also with Tasmota or ESPHome? not sure what the benefits or either is or whether I should bother with either if I got things working with Local Tuya
advice?

They look to be the same as these Makegood outlets listed HERE with Template settings for Tasmota.

The use the Smart life app and have the TYWE3S chip, so can almost certainly be flashed with Tasmota using Tuya-Convert

Hey Jason,

Thanks, they should be the same which is great. However as mentioned I had a bad experience the other night following the video above and bricked a PowerStrip from JBHifi, I followed it to a tee, may be I had a bad one. It has put me off trying again but I know I must and want to follow instructions that are known to work. What is the difference between Tasmota and ESPHome and what are the benefits?

What instructions should I follow to Tuya-Convert? is the one I followed the right one or is there a more recent version etc?

Any advice would be appreciated.

There is another thread about pros and cons of Tasmota vs ESPhome. I prefer ESPhime for its native API etc. Check out the thread (on my phone so not so easy to hunt down a link for you, sorry)

Thanks, I will have a search around for the benefits for each.

I have successfully flashed the with Tasmota using Tuya-Convert then upgraded to the full Sonos .bin version.

I cannot get the buttons on the switch to light up any ideas as to why, what is SwitchMode 1 and SwitchMode 2?

Template

{"NAME":"MG-AUWF01","GPIO":[56,10,157,59,134,132,255,255,131,22,57,21,9],"FLAG":0,"BASE":18}

For more accurate energy consumption measurements this device needs power monitoring calibration.

Gpio03 have to be low to make touch button work. This is done by setting it as Led4i.

SwitchMode needs to be set using

SwitchMode1 5 and SwitchMode2 5 commands in console.

This is the thread I was referring to earlier

Have you set these settings in console?

Hi yes do you know what they do?

SwitchMode 0 ( Tasmota default )

Set switch to toggle mode

Tasmota sends TOGGLE command each time the state of the circuit changes (closing or opening).

SwitchMode 1

Set switch to follow mode (0 = OFF, 1 = ON)

At the time when the circuit is closed, Tasmota will send ON and opening the circuit sends OFF .

You want to use SwitchMode 1 when connecting a toggle switch (e.g. a classic light switch) to your device. This way the “software switch” will mirror the state of the “hardware switch”. If the real switch is in the “ON” position, the state in Tasmota is ON as well.

SwitchMode 2

Set switch to inverted follow mode (0 = ON, 1 = OFF)

At the time when the circuit is closed, Tasmota will send OFF and opening the circuit sends ON .

When connecting a momentary switch (i.e., a push-button) you will want to use SwitchMode 3..7 .

Great that really helped I will look to move forward with ESPHome :+1:

Assume this is relevant for this GPO physical switch buttons.

You’ll need to play around with how the switch works. Some will want to be set to toggle due to the momentary/push button switch, and some will function like a normal on/off switch.
