I have a couple outdoor dongles I was able to flash esphome to with tuyacovert a while ago, but now I’m not sure which devices still allow for flashing. What is the current best option for local control through HA? Which devices do people still use?
I’ve been experimenting with a couple of these I got on eBay at reasonable price. They are USA compliant. Requires opening and a physical connection to flash, but was not hard. And you get a dual plug esp32 with bluetooth, power monitoring and light sensor.
Good hunting!
