| My understanding is that many IoT home control products get rebranded that are made by Tuya.
| | https://faceitsalon.com/wiring-diagram-for-a-feit-wi-fi-smart-dimmer-switch-collection/ |
| In any case however it comes to be, many products are Tuya inside, that is, they work through the cloud-based Tuya management app.
| |
|
| |
|
| This means when for example when you are sitting on your couch and it's getting dark and you want to switch on your living room light via Home Assistant, the commands have to go up to Tuya's web site and then back down through your gateway to your living room. Since this offends my sense of efficiency and privacy, I want to install ESPhome on all my Tuya devices.
| | For me these are advantageous when installed in 3 way circuits and my house has a lot of those. You can put a dimmer at each end or a regular switch at the far end. Now that they are down to $10 and Decora 3-way switches are $4 and 4-way switches are $15 it's not really worth replacing a toggle with a dumb Decora in some places, like my dining room and stairs. |
| I bought them with this in mind.

|
| == TWYE2S cpu ==
| | When replacing a switched 3-way set up you can use one each, dumb switch and smart dimmer. You can also put a dimmer at each end, you put each switch on line power and use the traveler to let them talk to each other. |
|
| |
|
| Both of these devices (Martin Jerry and Feit) use a Tuya TWYE2S cpu module.
| | You can extend this to 4-way circuits, here is a picture someone posted: https://imgur.com/GIZwCqs This actually causes less confusion in my brain than conventional multipole switches. Sad perhaps? I think I might be able to replace the 4-way with a 4-way and have one dimmer + 2 switches. |
| I fried one for an S-01 switch so I ordered a kit on Amazon with 5 ESP12F modules and a programmer/breakout board. The programmer should be handy. I could probably yank a module
| |
| off some other widget but geez, the modules are about $2 each.
| |
|
| |
|
| The ESP12F has more signals brought out to the edges but they won't interfere with anything when replacing a TWYE2S. An ESP12S is a match and is a tiny bit smaller too, but I like having the

| I hooked up the ESP-PROG while the board was connected to mains. Tsk.
| |
| It burned out both the TWYE2S and the ESP-PROG. This after successfully reprogramming 3 others.
| |
| The _actual_ problem I was trying to troubleshoot was that I did a bad job soldering on the header I use for programming these. Tsk again.

| |
| | |
| 2021-11-18 I have one converted to ESPHome and installed (laundry room). Three more to go.
| |
|
| |
|
| I soldered a header onto the back of each controller at the pads marked CN-1 and used Dupont wires to connect it to the programmer (which is just a 3V3 UART-USB really.) | | === Reflashing === |
| The Espressif Programmer was not pulling GPIO0 down so I had to unhook that wire and manually ground the input.

|
| |
|
| == Feit Electrics dimmers ==
| | It can be done by removing the WiFi chip or by attaching wires and cutting a trace. I tried removal and failed. |
|
| |
|
| These are a good price but I'm disappointed that I will have to remove the CPU from the board to reflash them.

| This is an ESP8266 device that can be reflashed to work with [https://esphome.io ESPHome] or Tasmota.
| |
| They are available currently in 3 packs from Costco (online) for $45, so $15 each which seems a reasonable deal to me. I have 6 now.
| |
| Currently I have them using the Home Assistant integration as Tuya devices.

| |
|
| |
| Not even unpacked yet!
| |
| These are still Tuya based but have a Beken processor in them instead of the ESP8285 used in the older ones. This means it can't be programmed with ESPHome and I will have to use a different toolchain for them. I feel like I need a new page for them, maybe it goes here: [[Tuya]].
| |
|
| |
| They are easy to recognize as they are in a smaller case with screw terminals versus the bare wires sticking out the back of the S-01 model.
| |
|
| |
| They still have red and blue LEDs but on this switch they are separated so you get two distinct colors instead of red or blue or purple on the S-01.
| |
|
| |
| ==== SD-TC01 Dimmers ====
| |
|
| |
| This is a newer product but still has the Tuya TWYE3S processor, so they can be programmed with ESPhome.
| |
|
| |
| I have not decided if it's easier to remove the entire module and stick it in my ESP12x programmer or
| |
| to try to solder wires and cut traces. I have a hot air rework station ordered and will probably try
| |
| the removal just because it should be easy and hey, I bought it for projects like this!

Tuya usage
Basic 'normal' set up
- Register a Tuya account and log in.
- Add the Tuya integration to HA.
- Install the Tuya "Smart Life" app and launch it. (There is also a "TuyaSmart" app, both are supported in HA, I don't know the difference.)
- Power up the new dimmer.
- Configure it with Smart Life.
- Now it will just pop up in HA and you can treat it like any other HA device.
