Using an old BLE outlet as a night light. Light is only controllable via the proprietary app. Here's my stupid solution.

  • tuya-convert

    A collection of scripts to flash Tuya IoT devices to alternative firmwares

  • Take a look into Tuya-convert. You may be able to change the firmware on the plugs to an alternative one and then you’ll be able to control them however you want through MQTT.

  • Assistant-Relay-for-Hassio

    Discontinued Send commands (including broadcasts) to the Google Assistant via Home Assistant

  • From the Amazon Page this looks like it works with google home. If nothing else works (and you're running Homeassistant or another piece of software that can make POST requests) I would try Assistant Relay. You can just use a POST request to ask google to "Turn off the Plug Light" or something. It's a bit slow, but it's better than nothing.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
