HW - Tuya Zigbee Matter Thread Gateway
Has anyone managed to do this, or at least can anyone advise whether it is possible to upload the TASMOTA FW to this Gateway?
It already has a lot of things running on it and it is ideally placed to cover the entire house, unfortunately the RPi with the dongle cannot be placed in this place.
Thank you
It’s been a few years, but if memory serves me correctly, custom firmware like Tasmota and ESPHome variants for Tuya/Smartlife devices are only for end-devices (typically battery powered sensors) and bridge-devices (typically mains powered sensors, lights, switches), not host-devices like hubs.
Did some digging and found this
YES
I successfully flashed the FW on the TYGWZ-01 - but it doesn’t have the protocols I need, it’s just ZigBee (which I have at home), but this is MZHUB-MS - it has a different chip and I couldn’t find the FW written for this
But thank you …
After trying the USB-dongle, I found that it has a much greater range than this gateway and greater reliability - no outages.
I think I’ll switch to the USB-dongle soon, even if it means minor construction work
so basically it’s currently a bit “worthless” in terms of usage with HA ?
It’s not worthless. You can use it to prop a door open or as a fancy coaster if you get creative
