mgos-to- VS tuya-cloudcutter

I tried micropython, liked it, an developed and operated a few home automation devices with it. But changing anything after a few months was a pain - what flashing tool did I use, how did that detail work, etc. Now I run around 15 Tasmota devices in my household and would never look back. The initial flash, depending on the device at hand, can be trivial (e.g. using https://github.com/tasmota/tasmotizer on a device with builtin USB connectivity or with a USB-serial cable) or a bit less so (like the somewhat involved OTA reflashing process https://github.com/yaourdt/mgos-to- for the very handy and inexpensive Shelly devices). In any case, after that it all becomes easy, with web-based configuration, OTA updates, "fleet managament" software like https://github.com/danmed/TasmoBackup, and plug&play integratiom with Home Assistant. If somebody integrated micropython into Tasmota for cases where the countless configuration options and libraries integrated into Tasmota don't suffice, it would be perfect. But meamwhile there is a similar scripting language available within Tasmota for ESP32 devices so I can live with that.

If you have some Pthyon experience, you should be able to use something like TinyTuya to pull DP data from your Tuya devices. Alternatively, you can use Tuya-Cloudcutter to flash a local-only firmware like ESPHome/LibreTiny or OpenBeken which have much easier integration options (local open API, HTTP, MQTT, etc).

You can flash the bk7231n directly with ESPHome using LibreTiny-ESPHome. You can even do it without soldering using Tuya Cloudcutter if you have a Raspberry Pi handy.

OpenBeken has their own list for BK7231N, BK7231T, XR809, BL602, T34, W800/W801, W600/W601 based devices. Tuya-Cloudcutter has a similar list for such devices as well.

Tuya devices, and the Tuya-based Monster, Greeni, etc stuff can be connected to HA using the Tuya Integration, or converted to local-only using Tuya Cloudcutter and connected to HA using Local Tuya, or even flashed with Tasmota, ESPHome/Libre Tiny, or OpenBeken.

One option to get control of your tuya devices is tuya cloud cutter then replace the firmware https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter

For many vulnerable/compatible device, you can use CloudCutter to OTA flash as well.

Absolutely! https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter

You can set them up locally like RFD recommended: https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter/blob/main/INSTRUCTIONS.md

Lastly, there is a https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter application that can let you flash ota for devices that have been done already.
