Alright, I can confirm that my issue was indeed related to a misconfiguration, in this case Rule1 was not posting to the correct topic. After fixing this, speed control works as expected.
I just upgraded my fan controller to Tasmota v7.1.1 and the same configuration that I used with the V7 development build works perfectly fine.
Thatās OK, you just unscrew the breakout leadsā¦consider them an option.
Thanks, except the power board has 5 outputsā¦ So that would take all day to turn things on and off.
Thatās how those boards work bud. If you donāt have a switch for each outlet, you can either control with HA or, multiple button presses.

@scottcurrie @kanga_who I got my delivery of the new Kogan smart plugs with 2 USB ports today, flashed using the current tuya-convert to the included Tasmota firmware with no problem, will update once I get the config working properly.

That is my config that is working. Converted with tuya-convert v2 OTA and flashed with ESPHome. I have added a PR to the ESPHome-config.io site as well.
Thatās great news @BradAU. Iāll pick some up myself.
Once you have the config, post it here and I will confirm next week when I get mine and it can get added to Blakadder.
Can you also confirm that you can fit 2 side by side on a twin outlet?
@kanga_who Yes 2 fit side by side in a double GPO, just for fun I actually put all 4 side by side in a 4 gang GPO and they fit.
Hahaha, good stuff. My wife might like that, we have a 4 point GPO for our fish tank, so Iām sure sheāll want to monitor the power of the pump, light, heater and filter all separately. Iāll probably end up having to get 2 packs 
Strange. Iām running a NUC with proxmox. Whiskerz007ās tuya-convert v2 container and vtrust running on an ESP8266 (which frees up my phone). trying to connect to the new KOGAN power monitoring plugs basically timed out. I had luck with Lohas bulbs from Amazon (recommended by Digiblur) using this setup. Hmmm.
Iāve only tried one plug out of 4. Currently Iāve been away for a while and havenāt had a chance to try it again or on the other plugs.
Iām running tuya-convert on a fresh and updated install of Raspian Buster on a RPi3, and used my phone to connect to vtrust. All 4 Kogan plugs flashed without any errors, actually this is my first time using tuya-convert where I didnāt have issues with the install_prereq.sh script.
I Picked up one the of the smart Mirabella powerboards from Costco for $39, flashed with OTA TUYA Convert2 and worked perfectly.
Iāve applied the Tasmota template, but thereās still one socket (closest to the USB ports) that doesnāt respond, its always on, and neither of the USB ports work. Has any one else fiddled with one of these to get everything working?
Little nervous about fiddling with the template in case I brick it or something.
Hey guys long time lurker of this topic.
Just came across this youtube video and itās a project that I have been wanting to do for a while now.
Convert home security system
I was just wondering what the legality of it is?
All the sensors are already run throughout the house and all I would have to do is plug it in to a raspi some sort of board.
Does anyone know if using esp8266ās and raspberry piās is alright in Aus? Places like jaycar and altronics sell them so I assume they are certified?
Also how would you guys tackle this? would you use home assistant and automations or something?
Or would you use your own scripts?
Or is their even someone that has done this before and has a guide online?
Do you already have an alarm panel that all the sensors are connected to?
Iād be inclined to use something like below if you already have a working panel.

Legally I believe you can work with ELV (Extra low voltage, less than 48 volts?) without issue, although someone else can probably clarify that.
The other issue would be if your insurance company accepted it as a valid alarm, but thatās kinda another whole kettle of fish.
Like @BradAU, I would recommend the Pi3/Raspbian combo as well. Thatās what I use and never have an issue. If you plan on flashing a bunch of stuff, then spending $50 to set up a designated Pi to do it with is a good investment.
Hey everyone, been fiddling with a few of these adapters, Bought a brilliant plug from office works and that flashed no issues with Tuya Convert1. However iāve gone and bought 3 Arlec devices from bunnings, 1 powerboard which flashed fine with Tuya Convert 2 but the plugs i got are not the 89HA theyāre a 190HA and theyāre not flashing OTA with Tuya Convert 1 or 2. In fact with Tuya Convert 1 it stops them continuing to flash their led AKA takes them out of update modeā¦
I also canāt seem to flash the plugs using the TX RX pins.
I bought a FTDI from altronics https://www.altronics.com.au/p/z6225-funduino-ftdi-basic-usb-breakout-3.3v-5v/
Set it to 3.3v connected ground and crossed TX and RX and connected the benchtop PSU for 3.3v (as i dont trust the fact that its using the FTDI vreg to provide 3.3v to the ESP. Then tried ESP Easyflasher and ESP Home flasher both with the Tasmota v7 bin but its not even turning up that theres an ESP attached to itā¦
Pretty new to all this! Let me know if iām doing something wrong and should i try and debug this as to why OTA isnāt working so people can dev the Tuya Convert 2 to make it work with them?
Thanks!
Have you tried tuya-convert on it?
Iāve started using the DETA brand smart switches from Bunnings. You can update the ESP8266 either using tuya-convert, or with an AVR programmer directly to the device. Small write up here: https://blog.mikejmcguire.com/2019/12/09/deta-grid-connect-smart-switch-and-home-assistant/
