Treatlife stock switch

Third party integrations
1

I am new and this may be a dumb question but all I can find is posts about flashing a treatlife switch.

Can I add a stock treatlife switch to home assistant?

Or do I have to flash? If I do flash can I still see and control my switches away from the house over the internet?

Sorry really new infact looking to see if I can use home assistant still.

Thanks for the replies.

I am guessing that’s a dumb question since no one has answered it.

I think this will help get you started. I have never done this myself but just got some SS01S devices that I will be attempting to do this with. If I figure it out and get it working i’ll let you know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt5-iZc4_qU

I got them to work using the flash method and stoke.

awesome glad to hear it! I haven’t gotten around to trying it yet… Was supposed to be my project today :confused: Was there any other guides that you used other than that video?

Can you please share how you flashed it the treatlife switches? I am trying to do the same thing.

This thread has been here for a couple months but really not address the issue of stock firmware being able to be integrated into home assistant. I am a new user to home assistant, with a lot of treat life switches planned for my new construction home. ( I have read all of the people hammering about cassetta switches, however I remain interested in treat life switches)
Is anyone working on integrating the stock firmware of treat Life switches? ( Yes I have read that there is a way that you can flash tasmota firmware to some of the older model treat Life switches, but I don’t think that’s universal). I’m hoping that someone smart sees a value in adding treat life integration into home assistant I would love to see that.

I have a bunch of stock Treatlife switches that were installed prior to getting Home Assistant. I’ve been trying to figure out how best to get these integrated with HA.
What I understand is that these switches are based on Tuya hardware and cloud services, and there are basically three ways that they might be integrated:

  • The Tuya integration, which will keep them as cloud-based
  • LocalTuya, which will let HA control them directly. This comes with the problem of determining the device IDs. I believe I read that Treatlife has it own user accounts (rather than using Tuya accounts) so it may be difficult to create a linked developer account on the Tuya web-site, which seem to be required to harvest device IDs
  • Flash with Tasmota - that appears to allow the device to present a simple GUI where you can find out its details.

It’s not at all clear from reading the forum whether all three methods are still viable. I’ve seen comments that some recent Treatlife switches use a chip that isn’t supported by Tasmota. There’s also some disagreement as to whether device IDs can still be harvested from the Tuya web-site, even if that method is/was applicable to Treatlife switches (registered in the Treatlife app, not in a Tuya app).

Can someone who’s done this (with recent switches) chime in on whether these methods still work?
