Just wanted to pass on my thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. I’m still working through some of the idiosyncrasies (like pre-heat vs on vs power level) BUT good Lord you saved me years!
I’m not seeing anything with a bit of searching showing ESPHome supporting the WBR3. Everything i’m seeing still requires replacing the WBR3 with an ESP. Any links?
Edit: Found a pull request that hasn’t been approved @ LibreTiny/RTL8710CM, etc. by nmschulte · Pull Request #7861 · esphome/esphome · GitHub
https://docs.libretiny.eu/docs/status/supported/#tuya-inc
On this page the WBR3 has a little information icon next to it (unfortunately can’t copy/paste the text) that brings up a tool tip specifying you can flash it as a generic-rtl8720cf-2mb-992k board, unless I misunderstand what the tool tip means.
Maybe this is out of date now, but when I try to install this through YAML, it complains about “platform: switch” and claims only “platform: binary sensor” is allowed.
Took me a bit to figure out the new formatting for local tuya template. And had to add a letter in front of the level numbers to avoid the “Failed to perform the action…” error.
Here’s a working template yaml config
Paste into a file located here:

I just went through the process of adding an ESP-12 to the controller board and getting it working with ESPHome. I documented the process here if it helps anyone.
Important note: I found that the mains neutral is connected directly to the low voltage ground plane. So you must never plug the device in while connected to any external low voltage components, such as a UART adapter! I fried mine while trying to dump the config on the WBR3.
