Does anyone know if I can flash Tasmota onto it through the device webpage that esphome provides?
OK, I have no clue how to fix this, so Iāll try tasmota instead.
if you save a tasmota .bin file on your PC then upload it via the ESPhome web page (OTA Update) you should be able to swap to tasmota that wayā¦ i think. I havenāt tried it yet but I think it will work
Thanks, the process is a little more complicated than I thought. Iāve compiled a custom tasmota.bin file with my wifi configuration so Iāll upload that and see how it goes.
Thanks for the response Dave.
Iām not sure if this is what youāre after, but I just make multiple calls to the mqtt.publish service in the script. Some combinations need a delay call in there as well - for example turning on a TV and waiting for it to be ready to change the input.
turn_on_xbox:
sequence:
# turn on Amp
- service: mqtt.publish
data:
topic: GenioIR/cmnd/IRSend
payload: '{"Protocol":"NEC","Bits":32,"Data":"0x7E817E81","DataLSB":"0x7E817E81","Repeat":0}'
# turn on TV
- service: mqtt.publish
data:
topic: GenioIR/cmnd/IRSend
payload: '{"Protocol":"SAMSUNG","Bits":32,"Data":"0xE0E09966","DataLSB":"0x07079966","Repeat":0}'
# turn on xbox
- service: mqtt.publish
data:
topic: GenioIR/cmnd/IRSend
payload: '{"Protocol":"NEC","Bits":32,"Data":"0x011B54AB","DataLSB":"0x80D82AD5","Repeat":0}}'
# set the input on the amp to HDMI 1
- delay:
seconds: 5
- service: mqtt.publish
data:
topic: GenioIR/cmnd/IRSend
payload: '{"Protocol":"NEC","Bits":32,"Data":"0x5EA1E21C","DataLSB":"0x7A854738","Repeat":0}'
Hey mate, if managed to flash the device with tasmota and applied this template:
The switches still do not respond.
I havenāt played with one of those units. Can you control the switches from the Tasmota web interface?
No. I see it in the console, but nothing on the powerboard. By the way, on the template page there are strings for āBacklogā and āRuleā, where do I enter these in Tasmota?
Iām not sure unfortunately. Sounds like the GPIO allocations arenāt correctā¦ but if someone else has that template working then they should be rightā¦

Adding a delay of 5 to the script solved the issue with sending multiple commands with the Mirabella IR module. I am now running up to 5 payloads in a single script. Thanks
@zoogara Thanks for that tip! Endless frustration trying to get it working with the Mirabella app until Google sent me here.
@kk74 - Iāve given up on the Tuya integration as been too slow, and flashed all my Tuya based devices using Tuya-Convert.
I just attempted flashing one of the Mirabella Genio bulbs and got to the point where it was doing the ābackupā before asking which firmware I wanted to upload. It gave me the message that it couldnāt do the full back up and asked if I wanted to continue. Thinking I could cancel and try again I said no. Now when I try to put the globe into pairing mode by flicking the switch, the globe wonāt even turn on. Have I bricked the globe? And is there anyway back from it, or is it time to buy a new one?
Update I managed to get it working. For those that end up with the same issue, i restarted the tuya-convert flash process but didnāt connect the phone to vtrust-flash. Apparently at the point of back up, the device is in an āintermediate stateā awaiting flash. Tuya convert picked it up straight away and continued the flash process. This was even after turning it on and off, flashing other devices and leaving it overnight.
Apologies if this has already been asked, but has anyone had any success with flashing the below to the Mirabella Door/Window Sensors? Just curious about performance after flashing and success rate of the flash. Iāve heard some people flashing them end up experiencing a 5 - 10 second delay for the sensor registering in HA. Iām currently using tasker on android to intercept notifications and update HA, but would like try something else.
Trying to get a set of Genio Festoon colour bulbs working. Have flashed with Tasmota and tried everything I can think of. A template exists for the white version, although the RGB version turns on, but I canāt get any of the effects or even the lights to turn off. Appreciate any suggestions.
Hey Johan,
I have started playing with the same Kmart door sensor, considering trying out Tasmota on that.
Would you mind describing why you mention that Tasmota is not a viable option of this device?
DeepSleep does appear to be supported by Tasmota, however I have not tried it yet.
Wonder if this has possibly changed since you did your investigation, or more likely, there is something that you discovered that makes Tasmota difficult/not suitable for it.
Many thanks for your response.
Cheers

Just wanted to give a thanks to everyone that has contributed to this thread. I discovered this just trying to google around if the Kmart smart globes were any good out of curiosity, having had no experience with any āsmartā devices whatsoever and never even having heard of Home Assistant. The last week has been a flurry of Kmart/Bunnings trips and setting up HA on my home server and itās been a blast. So far successfully flashed esphome firmware using ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert to a few from the Genio range including a cwww globe, a couple of wifi plugs and an rgbw led strip.
After struggling to find many more of the Genio globes in stock at a Kmart, I took a punt on the Brilliant RGB+W I picked up at Officeworks (specific model number 20877). Took a couple of goes to flash with tuya-convert but eventually got it working after sticking it in a lamp to move it closer to my AP. I tried the Genio equivalent firmware with only the white channel really working, and eventually found a more applicable tasmota config here: https://templates.blakadder.com/brilliantsmart_20699.html
Long story short I adapted the pinout from this to the equivalent SM16716 LED driver config in esphome [https://esphome.io/components/output/sm16716.html] and itās now working great! Figured I would share the esphome config in case anybody else found it useful:
esphome:

ssid: <YOUR_SSID>

Just to add to the mix, I picked up a couple of iDigital smart switches from The Reject Shop (on sale at $9, down from $20). They are Tuya based, and I was able to flash them successfully with the Mirabella Genio template. The one change i had to make was to switch the on_turn_on and on_turn_off commands around.
# Turn on red LED
on_turn_on:
- switch.turn_off: red_led
# Turns off red LED
on_turn_off:
- switch.turn_on: red_led
Or you could invert the output pin for the LED.
