I bought a couple of these plugs from a guy who’s had them unused in his closet from before the new firmare. I pressed the button 7 seconds, fired up the Tuya convert and nothing happens. Nada. I have tried plugs with the new firmware before, and they stopped blinking but had an error in the smarthack-psk.log. This has no errors there. Is there a special trick to use on these plugs?
Sonoff uses Ewelink firmware, not Tuya. So trying to use tuya-convert on these is pointless.
To flash them to tasmota :

Thanks, that explains it! And damn, just my luck. I’ve been searching for older plugs that didn’t have the new, unflashable firmware! And I get some that don’t do OTA flashing at all… Well, I am getting into ESP32, so I have some stuff for that on the way from Aliexpress. I guess I’ll have to order an USB to serial as well. Can you recommend something, or haven’t you done this yourself?
