Same purchase (4 x plug w energy monitor + USB), same result - except I could not physically get into mine. Any opening tips and photos?
Here are a few pictures. https://imgur.com/a/a8C9cfT I have no great tips for opening. As you can see my case was badly damaged in the attempt. There are only four small clips holding it together but it seems like it might be bonded in some other way as well. I had to pry around all edges with a knife then screwdriver. I found once I pried the corners out it came out more easily. However, I badly cracked the case twice trying to loosen the edges.
I was unable to flash tasmota initially (it was my first go). I ended up removing the whole WiFi module from the board and was able to flash it and then reassemble the plug and it is working nicely with my first esphome config. Once I had removed the wifi module (with great difficulty) I soldered pins to gnd, 3v3, tx and rx as per most instructions then I also soldered a jumper from Io0 to ground to place into bootloader mode. Everything went smoothly after that. I flashed with my raspberry pi.
Thanks very much for those photos. Don’t think I will proceed any further with opening mine up. They look reasonably well put together.
Might try the Tuya cloud integration option next.
I got a Kogan Air con recently and used the Tuya integration to add it to HA. The entity card only shows “off” and not on. I am not sure how to get it to change or see any of the other functions like temp and mode etc.
Any ideas for a beginner?
Hi Jim, from a fellow beginner, check out localTuya: Tuya LOCAL with energy monitoring and without tuya-convert
I have the smart switches with power monitoring working and some parts of an air filter also.

I’d also like to know the solution to this. I’ve had a look through the Tasmota docs and I can’t find anything referencing a Tuya scale, so I’m not sure if it’s supported yet?
Is there a way to reliably get the data from the cloud?
Has anyone tried integrating these 2 devices?

Last time I checked, they weren’t supported by the tuya connect app, though they do say they are powered by tuya. I don’t have the gear (yet) to try tuya convert, but I have no idea if it’s even possible.
Hi, I recently purchased this Kogan Smart Doorbell. I have it set up and working in the TuyaSmart app. I have the Tuya integration set up in HA but the doorbell (and one of my lights) isn’t showing up. All of the other devices from the TuyaSmart app are visible. Can anyone provide any advice on how to get this to show up in Home Assistant?
I’m thinking spend devices simply don’t show in HA.
My heater does but my baby monitor does not which is frustrating. Was hoping to ditch the Kogan/ tuya app.
I’ve started to dip my toes into the Home Assistant waters, and am happily using my Tuya integrations. During the pandemic, and the toilet paper hoarding, I decided to buy a Kogan Smart Toilet Seat (bidet). This pairs well with Kogan’s Smarterhome application, but I cannot seem to connect it to the “normal” Tuya app. I can’t seem to put it into the “manual/slow beep” pair mode, only the “normal” pairing mode.
Anyone had simliar problems? Or has an idea on how I can sort this out? I’d love to get the bidet to enter/exit energy saving mode and turn lights on/off based on motion sensors/time of day/my phone’s indication of whether or not I’m asleep.
*Edit: Figured it out by accident. The Kogan manual wasn’t really clear on how to enter the two different pairing modes, but by holding the dry and rear wash buttons for a longer period it went from normal pairing mode into forced pairing mode. The difference can be heard in single beeps (normal) vs double beeps (forced). The forced pairing mode starts the local wifi access point on the device. From there, in the Tuya App,
it would still refuse to find anything automatically, so I manually selected the “smart toilet” under small appliances (it was the closest to what I wanted), selected “slow blink” mode. Tuya then prompted me to connect to the wifi from the device and 3 seconds later it identified the smart bidet, and it is now in Home Assistant for me to put some rules around 
Huzzah!

Does anyone hvae the smart kettle from Kogan working with the Tuya app, etc? Is it a Tuya rebrand? and then use that with localtuya?
LIke yea, I could tasmota it but my solidering and eletronics skills are minimal so would prefer a software based solution. Yes, I see there is an OTA solution using tuya_convert but according to their website (https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert (the repo is also quite old and the tool now seems unmaintained)) things are being shipped with patches or different chips so ymmv. I don’t want to destroy kettles. 
Thanks
EDIT: It seems it can be done: Kogan Smart Kettle - #35 by Sabellwind
Did you fgure if the heater panels works? Looking at buying some now as well
Nope. The main issue was it was never in the Tuya app. It seems to be a “Kogan Special”. I guess I could flash it with Tasmoto, but I’m not confident that I would fry the firmware.
But there is a workaround using the Google Home SDK. Using it, you can turn it on and off by using HA to send messages to Google Home. TBH, I haven’t tried it yet. It’s on my to-do list.
Thanks mate, I have google home integrated so think I might give it a go and see.
I ended up buying local Arlec heater from bunnings which I believe is basically what Kogan rebrands as well just like Arlec.
Can confirm the smart panel heater works with Tuya Local and I can control it from HA
I know this is a bit of an old post, but was thinking of getting a Kogan bidet seat too. What specific one did you get? also what sensors did it expose when you put it into HA? interested in what it makes available to you.
Is this the one you got?
Are you happy with it?
Any quality/reliability issues?
Just noticed you asked the same Q;)
Did you buy something yet?
