tuya-cloudcutter VS lightleak

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.

Use tuya-cloudcutter or direct flash.

If you have a spare ESP32 and an Android device sitting around you can use lightleak to dump the firmware and extract the version. It’s possible it even tells you within the Android app once you’ve connected and verified that the exploit works.

Can confirm it works great. If your device isn’t in the Cloudcutter list yet then you may need to do some additional work (using a spare ESP32 and an Android device, see LightLeak) to get a dump of the built in firmware. They’re very responsive to requests to add new devices once you provide the dump. Let me know if you have questions.
