Tuya T8e 4” Linux Touch screen

1

So guess who finally bit the bullet to get an Android T6e clone and do all the stakeholder management with the Wife to agree to swap out a switch for the new toy?

Guess who also waited 10 days for not what he expected to arrive??!! :laughing:

Best I can tell I’ve received : this

No OTG / Micro USB port and no serial interface; and not running Android from what I can tell.

Please see attached photos and any suggestions on being able to get HA running would be very much appreciated before it gets
put in a drawer and never seen again!

Hi alxscott,
i am new in this community, i have T8E 4 also.
I think that this device has a potential but i think be not simple to exploit it

I managed to access via Wireless ADB ( enabled by default) but there is no Package Manager available so was unable to install any additional APK’s.

I bit the bullet and bought a NSPanel Pro as the sale is on. Within 60min I was up and running with Home Assistant Companion App.
