There is a ready built one - with an active developer supporting it on the NR forum and it is a āhorses for coursesā where it makes sense to use NR for the calc side and HA for Display

Did you convert them via OTA or via cable? I couldnāt get it to work yesterday OTA and it matched the PSK in the Github issue I linked to.
Both devices OTA

I know I could google, but could you point me to the NR pid code?
Interesting yes (re ready flashed smart plugs). I wonder what if any licencing restrictions Theo has on the usage of the firmware ??
Pretty easy to find. GPL3. See Tasmota/LICENSE.txt at 5014fb985b741002d1ccf9de23a872f33fe8e06c Ā· arendst/Tasmota Ā· GitHub

Here you go - a good discussion on someone using it and the author advising re tuning etc

Hi folks. Iām hoping someone is able to help or at least is making progress on this one. I bought a couple of Arlec MAL300HA Grid Connect floodlights from [Bunnings] yesterday. Flashed one with Tasmota and used the template here. It only lets you override the sensor and not actually manually control the light. I was referred to this issue with someone trying to do the same thing. I played around in Tasmota and couldnāt get it to fire. Pulling off some heatshrink inside the unit revealed a TYWE2S module and thatās as far as I got.
Does anyone own one of these and making any headway trying to figure out how to control it?
Just Flashed Kogan RGB-CCT Led Strip with Tuya-Convert
Template submitted to Blackadder
Template as follows:
{"NAME":"RGB+W+C Strip","GPIO":[0,0,0,0,37,40,0,0,38,41,39,0,0],"FLAG":0,"BASE":18}
Did not work on Tasmota 7
Needed to update to 8.1
Also set Color to #RRGGBBWW in console (not sure if required?)

So I purchased the Kogan Pet Feeder and flashed it using Tuya-Convert and now it is running Tasmota, I have setup MQTT with my home assistant but now I am stuck.
How do I actually pull and send commands to the feeder?
Thatās a pretty cool concept.
I had my deta 4 gang smart switch apart the other day and it didnāt have that cut out to the right of where you tapped in on the relay board. Visually itās a different board in the smart switch.
A write up for this would be awesome as an educational tool for others.
Hi @ryanbeatonā¦ Iāve picked up a bunch of these now (1, 2 and 3 gang). Three 1 gangs installed and working fine, two more flashed and ready to go.
However, Iām having issues with the 2 gang (havenāt started on the 3 gangs yet). Iāve flashed fine, and used the blakadder template (yoursā¦ it exactly the same as the 2 gang Zemismart template), but when I go into the Tasmota interface I just have one on/off toggle rather than two.
Did you (or anyone else) have any issues like this?
Thanks!
The same way as you send commands to anything, by calling services, eg you turn a switch on with home-assistant.turn_on
For the 3/4 gang have a look at this blog post
Hi,
I just got one of their 5m strips (https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-smarterhome-rgb-cool-warm-white-smart-led-light-strip-5m/) but cannot get it to work with Tuya-convert.
Did you have any trouble flashing yours? Mine gets into pairing more and stops blinking after I start the script, but then it just keeps retrying āResending SmartConfig Packetsā.
Cheers
Thanks Scott, Iām all over the smart switches I just solder in a few pins and just permanently leave them in place.
I was more referring to the mod of placing a custom board into the standard (dumb) touch switches. I thought that was a pretty cool mod. Far from cost and time effective but the idea is good as gold.
Did you click the activate button? Once the template is copied and activated it should automatically reboot and show the additional switches

I did not! That has sorted it. Much appreciated!
