Step 3: Firmware development Before the application development, you need to port the MCU SDK to your project. Then, flash the general firmware and Tuya’s license to the network module. This way, the mower can communicate with the cloud. The demo routine also includes FreeRTOS to facilitate your development. After the above preparation is completed, you can proceed with the application development. Download the sample code: tuya-iotos-embeded-mcu-demo-wifi-ble-samrt-lawn-mower Drivers for motor, servo, and ESC Have four motors connected to each wheel for movement. Two servos are used to control the ESC as well as the position of the blade connected to the ESC. The ESC controls and regulates the speed of the blade rotation. Write the initialization procedure for the above components, which are implemented in servo_motor.c .

Then, I make a HomeKit automation that automatically (without any silly confirmation on my iPhone) switches my Home alert system status to Away when I am not at home (based on geofencing) and conversely, switched it to Disarmed when I come home. You would say: this is not possible, dumb Apple does not allow this with security devices. And you're right. That's why I circumvent this moron attitude by using a dummy switch in the middle. The geofencing Home automation controls the Switch On/Off status, and that virtual switch has its own automation that control the security system status. That way, it works! The HomeKit switch is in fact a cheap ESP8266 DIY board flashed with Home Accessory Architect (HAA) open-source firmware (esp-homekit-devices repo on GitHub). But such virtual switch can also be created with homebridge. Or you can use a true Homekit physical socket for example.

But for homekit there seems to be this firmware: https://github.com/RavenSystem/esp-homekit-devices

I've had great experiences with the Sonoff iFan04-L with the Home Accessory Architect firmware -- I don't know if having to flash new firmware is a complete deal-breaker for you, but that combination of hardware and software is fantastic in my experience. I've installed two iFan04-L units with that firmware and have a third that I intend to install soon (while replacing knob and tube wiring to that particular fan). Flashing the bootstrap firmware is straightforward and quick with a USB UART device, after which there's some setup to do (enter wifi password and configuration script), and once that's done it's more or less a native HomeKit device for all intents and purposes.

I replaced 2 of those with Sonoff switches that where flashed with raven to make them HomeKit compatible. https://github.com/RavenSystem/esp-homekit-devices

Hello, I'm trying to build a smart socket with 2 channels (2 relays), I'm doing this with the help of a Wemos D1 Mini and the project https://github.com/RavenSystem/esp-homekit-devices

RavenSystems HAA - Home Accessory Architect

I think you could achieve the same functionality with it without homebridge as a gateway: https://github.com/RavenSystem/esp-homekit-devices
