A collection of Python scripts that flash Tuya-based smart home IoT devices (mostly ESP8266-based) with alternative open-source firmware over WiFi, without soldering. It backs up the original firmware and lets users free their devices from the Tuya cloud.
Use cases
- flash tuya smart plugs with tasmota or esphome without soldering
- backup original firmware from a tuya wifi device
- free smart home devices from the tuya cloud
- convert tuya-based bulbs and switches to local control with mqtt
- reflash esp8266 smart devices over wifi
When to choose
- you own Tuya/ESP8266-based smart devices and want open firmware like Tasmota or ESPHome
- you want local MQTT control instead of the vendor cloud
- you have a Linux machine with WiFi and want a solder-free flashing process
When to avoid
- your device uses a newer Tuya chipset not exploitable by this method
- you need guaranteed support or a risk-free process - flashing can brick devices
- you need help with the alternative firmware itself, which this project does not maintain
