Hi,
I bought one of these globes recently and managed to successfully flash it (ESPHome) and control it (On/off and dimming) from Home Assistant. I thought I’d document my ESPHome config file here as I could not find it anywhere else and had to do a bit of trial and error with the GPIO pin allocation to make it work. SSID and PASSWORD redacted.
Cheers,
Paul
