Digiblur, I've been out of practice for like 2 years, was lazy, and used Tuya cloud... next thing you know, like 30 devices just vanished and stopped working. Thank you for bringing me back, once again, and making me learn how easy ESPHome is. :)
Thank you very much fro this great walk through! It popped out in my recommendations with the perfect timing. I have recently started to have major issues with my local tuya devices. All of them started to randomly disconnect and connect back a couple of times per average 5 minutes which was very frustrating. As a result, the response time of the devices was very delayed and I was losing my mind and looking for a better solution. I started considering swapping all my devices communication modules with ESP ones, which was not very great and it implies a lot of work. Thanks to your video I have converted all (except one that is hard to access) my tuya devices to ESPHome and I am very satisfied with the result. It took me a day of work and tinkering around, but it is definitely worth it!
Thanks Travis. Just finished removing all my Tuya devices from the cloud. Flashed them all with ESP Home and loving the control it gives me. I am in Thailand and the Tuya stuff would always give me issues reconnecting in either of the LOCAL Tuyas after power outages, and they're quite frequent here. Luckily the cloudcutter exploit worked on most but a few I had to flash with a BDM frame and probes.
Awesome video!I used this on a four pack of Globe plugs from Costco in Canada. I performed this in virtual box with a WiFi adapter. Worked well. There was a little bit of panic as I couldn't find the device after I added the AP. But once I found the device I followed your instructions and boom it was just like you said! These Tuya cloud cutters dev's are just GENIUS!
I converted some daybetter rgbw light bulbs I have. Once converted to esphome if home assistance if offline the pull cord or switch will not turn on the bulb on or off. I can go directly to the ip address to control it but I would like to be able to still turn the light bulb on and off if my wifi is down. I added restore_mode: ALWAYS_ON and that did the job
Awesome video. Trying to get this done here to a smart plug (Primewireandcable prime rcwfii11), it is a espressif based plug (firmware 1.0.7), however having hard time trying to figure out which profile to use. Got like 20 of them to do.
@@digiblurDIY Hi, Thanks for the response. You are correct that the tuya cloud cutter is only for Bekken and not ESP chips. I managed to get Tuya Convert to work with these, however painful as it is (Don't put into fast flash mode for them, for some reason then works). Thanks for your great work. Now i need to get back to beating my head into getting dashboard adjustable timers to work with these plugs :)
Any video you can refer on how to open without breaking an tuya diy smart switch mini? I need to check the chipset on it. Hints on discovering the chipset without opening would be good to
Pair it up with the Tuya app and check the firmware version. Try the profiles for this version that are cloudcutter. If it works then you are golden. You can also put the MAC ID into a OUI tool online to see the vendor if it is Tuya then probably it is beken.
Seemed awesome, Picked up a couple 2 packs of the KMC 4 outlet units from Amazon during prime day, based on some folks saying they had managed to do it with the single units and the 4 unit being listed in the exploit list. No luck though. Was able to get an old 6 outlet ihome unit converted though.
@richardahlquist5839 sounds like the exploit worked then as you put something else on it. Not sure what state it is in though. You might need to try the fast power cycle recovery on it if you put Tasmota
@@digiblurDIY Will give that a shot this weekend. These have TYWE3S in them. If I absolutely have to I will flash one externally and replace the module in this one. Might be worth the effort to see what else could be used. Meanwhile ordering a couple TYWE3S from aliexpress to mess with.
Thanks a lot for all the knowledge you share. The guide here is awesome, I've jus took off the cloud a Ledvance Smart+ WiFi Brick lamp. It didn't have a match in named devices list but by searching for the firmware the exploit worked and now the lamp is fully mine. Next device is an obscure gas sensor that I'll try to fix.
Thanks for the guide! Have the 2 projects finally been merged? I'm thinking of getting started soon, do you consider that your guide is still valid to this day?
Tried tasmota firmware jig for 3 gang light switch with no luck, however Tuya cloud cutter may be a better option for all of my tuya devices. As usual, awesome help - thanks.
This is so cool. But luckily I don't need it because i've only got one tuya device and that one still has en esp8266 inside and is flahded with esphome.
Thanks for the updated video, unfortunately unable to source a Raspberry pi.. so if I am installing this on a VM or a laptop (on a spare ssd), how will I know if the wifi card supports access point ?
@@DeepakCG I just prefer not to mess with my regular wifi connection and/or network settings/daemons on my notebook, so i bought the dongle. I have tuya-cloudcutter and older tuya-convert on my home server as VM and I export my usb dongle there over network using usbip

I got a 3-pack Feit 4-way Wifi dimmer from Costco. Are they still Beken based chipset, as I cannot see clearly what is the chipset? Appreciate your help. Thanks.
I went through your video and write ups and other websites few times, and I finally got it going with Pi4 cloudcutter and convert the dimmer using the Beken profile. It is converted over to ESPHome now and needs more to add it to HA. Thanks for your help, and I got another 11 more to add after this one.
How do I know if my tuya device has a Beken chip? I have a few treatlife outdoor dimmers that I bought 4 years ago. I have an ubuntu machine, could I just skip the raspberry steps and just install the docker on it?
I read that this doesn't work with the older esp based tuya devices? I have a few ytf tuya ir universal remote control devices to control various ACs. My Dad had them for a few years and I'm now looking to integrate it with homeassistant. Are there any places you'd suggest to find information on identifying the hardware within the device and whether its possible to flash software like ESPHome onto it? Would I have to use tuya-convert or are there newer methods now?

I have a generic smart power strip that works with both the HA Tuya and Local Tuya integration. The chip inside has these markings: W701 L31D1H1 GL17A2. I can't find much information on the internet with those numbers. Is this power strip compatible with the Tuya-Cloudcutter?
Is ESPHome needed at all after device is flashed or can I just do the "cutting" and flashing from a custom build on a SD card and then find the device with just HA afterwords on my main HA install on a different device without ESPHome installed? Thank you, great video.
The esphome dashboard is just to make changes to a device in the future. It is not required to be running at all. This is the same for the ESP8266/32 devices since it is all Esphome.
Hello, I see that the system is compatible with WB2S modules. I have 2 Loratap SC500-V3 curtain modules that I want to flash and I don't know how to do it, I already did it successfully on an Aubess mini switch but it is with the BK7321N module.

Hi, I've tried Tuya Human Detecction Sensor ZG-205W and it is imposible to put it in AP mode. None of the guides I have found it works. The app in the phone hasn't the manual configuration for this sensor, only it works in automatic. Somenone knows how to convert this sensor to ESPHome with Coludcutter?
How to run a custom script when my device is not in the list of compatible devices? My device is MS-103 "Temperature and humidity Smart Switch module". The chip inside is WB3S (BK7231T). I would like to manually configure the pins in OpenBeken
@@Crilard having the same issue with my TH01 temp sensor, its a BK7231N and version 2.1.0. I've tried a number of ways to get it to work but nothings stuck so far.
Travis - great guide and excellent work! Unfortunately my first device is getting stuck at 15:44 when it should respond to the firmware calls. They just never happen - any thoughts/experience?
All good until 18:20... then this 😞 E: UPK: No actual components were added! This means that **valid configuration has been found**, but this type of device is not yet supported by this program. This includes for example thermometers, water leak sensors, or fan controllers.
Hello friend. My switch uses the TXD1 as the switch's LED. In the dump the pin would be P11, I saw in the manual for my module (CB3S) it actually states that TXD1 is mapped to P11 of the IC. The LED doesn't work at all, do you know how to fix it?
@@digiblurDIY I found the error! It was monochromatic and the P11 is not PWM. Setting it to binary worked. It lost the transition effect between the red and blue LED, but it worked. Thanks a lot for the help.
So I'm currently using local tuya, very interested in this, but most of my moes devices also have 443mhz slave units worling with them, does anyone know if this is still possible after changing to ESP home?
I experienced a power failure (cat stepped on the power strip switch) after flashing the kickstarter firmware, but before I could run the OTA update. Now I can't see the access point anymore when I plug it back in. Does anyone know of a way to salvage this, or is the device bricked?
I don't recall Tuya using esp32 but maybe one rare find. But this is only for Beken chips. You'd would have to manually flash your esp ones that are patched.
@@digiblurDIY sorry, I think I mean esp8266, and for something like the novostella 20w floodlight I can't really access the pads to manually flash it without destroying it. I have an older one that I tasmotized, but the new one has the patched fw so now I'm stuck with localtuya for now.
I can't run tuya-cloudcutter. It always kicks me out like so: ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c apt-get -qq update && apt-get install -qy --no-install-recommends git hostapd rfkill dnsmasq build-essential libssl-dev iproute2 mosquitto" did not complete successfully: exit code: 100 Failed to build Docker image, stopping script I followed every other step exactly, using the recommended bullseye image for the pi 4.
i tried all the firmware versions (1.0.3) for a Gosund wp3 smart plug but no luck. If i open the device would it help hacking it? if so what do i need to do?
Thanks for the detailed video and doc. I am trying to flash "DS03 Fan and Light Smart Switch BK7231N v2.1.6" which is one of the devices listed in the doc but I can't find the profile for it. LT Chip Tool does have the device in the list but shows an error that the profile is not available. Can you please share the profile or point me to the right direction.
Looks like that is on the patched list. You would need to serial flash this one. github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter/wiki/Known-Patched-Firmware
@@digiblurDIY i did a full run of the flashing. And if no or no valid ssid is set into the light, i cant use it. During flashing i had 0 errors of issues.
@@digiblurDIY I did not start this one but it happened to me. I have kickstart up. I logged in and gave ssid. Then... No ip or not visible on my network (unifi) I tried the hotspot again i see it and connect to kickstart but I cannot get into 192.168.4.1 It said access denied. Does not pop up automagically and when i browse to it nothing.
Great guide, thank you. Frustrating though i have tried this on 2 different branded powerboards and no luck. I have tried search by brand, firemware version and using tuya generic exploits but it always fails on the second AP reconnect.
the only roadblock for this exploit is the profile, if the profile doesnt exist for your device, you need to dump the firmware and generate the profile for your self. this duming process can be destructive specially for bulb and smartplugs, so yeah.... be ready for a sacrifical unit and dont forget to share it with cloudcutter profile repo.
Instead of talking too much, just write down all step and video record accordingly. This way you wont confuse other people. Plus your accent is also very weird. But thanks anyways for all your hard work and sharing it to us.
That's what I did. You can choose the guide if you don't want the video. Some people prefer the video so we get both yo. Oh and I don't have an accent.
what happened after a kickstart image was installed, can I change it if I chose the wrong one? I am not sure if I did it correctly, as it does not show proper pins and control in HA after the Beken device was configured. Appreciate your help.
My problem now is I have the yaml config from the tool and/or the website, but when I "create device" in esphome, add the yaml config I got, then go to compile it so I can upload it to my plug with Kickstart on it, it fails to compile. Maybe it is because I use a pi 3b+ for my HAOS. I thought getting Kickstart load on was going to be most challenging part of this.
Awesome. Perfect timing. There is a sale on Ledvance products in my local hardware store. Cheers mate.

Thank you for your reply. To do this, I have to open the plug ?
How to run a custom script when my device is not in the list of compatible devices?
My device is MS-103 "Temperature and humidity Smart Switch module". The chip inside is WB3S (BK7231T). I would like to manually configure the pins in OpenBeken
Every time I try to select a custom firmware it asks me to select a device from the list
Custom firmware would be one you put on the tuya-cloudcutter already. I would stick with the kickstart for now if this is your first time.
Version of Firmware on tuya app is V1.2.8 (Unfortunately, there is no such version in the exploit)
@@Crilard having the same issue with my TH01 temp sensor, its a BK7231N and version 2.1.0. I've tried a number of ways to get it to work but nothings stuck so far.
Travis - great guide and excellent work! Unfortunately my first device is getting stuck at 15:44 when it should respond to the firmware calls. They just never happen - any thoughts/experience?
Is the Pi close enough to the device?
@@digiblurDIY couple of metres apart, so I think so. I've left it for 15 mins three times and it never gets further. I will try another Tuya box.
That's close enough. Does it do the A-xxxx AP?
It does indeed. Gets all through to the wlan0: AP-ENABLED line and then just sits there forever.
same issue here :(
Will this work on the 8 button scene controller you did a video on a while back?
All depends on if they switched to Beken. They should have by now but no telling on old stock you might find. Tuya Convert might even work.
Also there is a 5 button one I linked in the video description
All good until 18:20... then this 😞
E: UPK: No actual components were added!
This means that **valid configuration has been found**,
but this type of device is not yet supported by this program.
This includes for example thermometers, water leak sensors, or fan controllers.
Have to do it manually and see what works. What device is this?
Hello friend. My switch uses the TXD1 as the switch's LED. In the dump the pin would be P11, I saw in the manual for my module (CB3S) it actually states that TXD1 is mapped to P11 of the IC. The LED doesn't work at all, do you know how to fix it?
Did you set it as a binary output?
@@digiblurDIY I found the error! It was monochromatic and the P11 is not PWM. Setting it to binary worked. It lost the transition effect between the red and blue LED, but it worked. Thanks a lot for the help.
All my Tuya devices are Zigbee, so will this still work with my devices?
Your devices are already local depending on your zigbee hub if it is local or cloud.
Is there a way to flash them with Tasmota instead of ESPHome ?
once you have esphome on them you can upload tasmota onto them instead
No. The chips inside are not compatible with Tasmota.
You can check out Openbeken but no Tasmota support at this time.
So I'm currently using local tuya, very interested in this, but most of my moes devices also have 443mhz slave units worling with them, does anyone know if this is still possible after changing to ESP home?
No experience myself with the 433mhz side of these.
I experienced a power failure (cat stepped on the power strip switch) after flashing the kickstarter firmware, but before I could run the OTA update. Now I can't see the access point anymore when I plug it back in. Does anyone know of a way to salvage this, or is the device bricked?
Did you put it on your wifi?
@@digiblurDIY It is on my wifi! I guess my router was being slow to update the device list. Thanks!
Does this work for the esp32 devices that don't work with tuya-convert anymore? Or are those still stuck in tuya land?
I don't recall Tuya using esp32 but maybe one rare find. But this is only for Beken chips. You'd would have to manually flash your esp ones that are patched.
@@digiblurDIY sorry, I think I mean esp8266, and for something like the novostella 20w floodlight I can't really access the pads to manually flash it without destroying it. I have an older one that I tasmotized, but the new one has the patched fw so now I'm stuck with localtuya for now.
Trying to install on a Pi3b seems to be freezing up at 99% when running sudo apt install network-manager. Any ideas?
Did you use the older raspbian file?
Has anyone figured out how to get Elegrp smart switches into slow blink mode?
Did it come with a book? They usually say in there.
I can't run tuya-cloudcutter. It always kicks me out like so:
ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c apt-get -qq update && apt-get install -qy --no-install-recommends git hostapd rfkill dnsmasq build-essential libssl-dev iproute2 mosquitto" did not complete successfully: exit code: 100
Failed to build Docker image, stopping script
I followed every other step exactly, using the recommended bullseye image for the pi 4.
If my device has unsupported firmware (Device Ms-103 MCU:1.2.8) is the only option to disassemble the device and flash it manually?
If that version hasn't been exploited yet, yes you'll have to pull a copy of the firmware.
i tried all the firmware versions (1.0.3) for a Gosund wp3 smart plug but no luck. If i open the device would it help hacking it? if so what do i need to do?
you can check the MAC ID OUI to see if it is espressif?
@@digiblurDIY how do I do that? I see the Mac Id in the device information.
Thanks for the detailed video and doc. I am trying to flash "DS03 Fan and Light Smart Switch BK7231N v2.1.6" which is one of the devices listed in the doc but I can't find the profile for it. LT Chip Tool does have the device in the list but shows an error that the profile is not available. Can you please share the profile or point me to the right direction.
Were you able to get Kickstarter on it?
@@digiblurDIY Yes and it is connected to HA also. But I get "Initialization failed at init_state 0" in the esphome logs. I hope I am making sense.
I can post my full config of this device this evening.
Here's the setup - digiblur.com/wiki/devices/other/treatlife_esmlfe_fan_ds03_beken
how can i know if my device is Baken based?
Check the firmware version in the Tuya app then try it with the exploit.
firmware 1.1.1@@digiblurDIY
I just bought some bulbs that come with 1.5.21, non exploitable. :(
looks like soldering iron it is!
Sucks to see them patched. Been there and tough on bulbs.
Cool!
and stuff certified.
Prime Wire Outdoor Outlet CCRCOWF2PK Main Module 1.1.15 Other Type: 1.15 Couldnt get it to work :(
Looks like that is on the patched list. You would need to serial flash this one. github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/tuya-cloudcutter/wiki/Known-Patched-Firmware
Its bricked. No way to enter my new wifisettings.
Where did you get to?
@@digiblurDIY i did a full run of the flashing.
And if no or no valid ssid is set into the light, i cant use it.
During flashing i had 0 errors of issues.
Kickstart came up?
Kickstart also bricked my device, I flash OpenBeken and now I am happy
@@digiblurDIY I did not start this one but it happened to me. I have kickstart up. I logged in and gave ssid. Then... No ip or not visible on my network (unifi) I tried the hotspot again i see it and connect to kickstart but I cannot get into 192.168.4.1 It said access denied. Does not pop up automagically and when i browse to it nothing.
Great guide, thank you. Frustrating though i have tried this on 2 different branded powerboards and no luck. I have tried search by brand, firemware version and using tuya generic exploits but it always fails on the second AP reconnect.
What version firmware is on them?
1.0.3 and 1.1.7
Too bad I dont have any tuya stuff anymore 😄
Me either... all nuked and running Esphome or Tasmota stuff now.
@@digiblurDIYI see what you did there
ESPhome branch was merged. It will be even easier soon!
Indeed! The new download dialog is awesome too. Can't wait for it to hit stable!
the only roadblock for this exploit is the profile, if the profile doesnt exist for your device, you need to dump the firmware and generate the profile for your self. this duming process can be destructive specially for bulb and smartplugs, so yeah.... be ready for a sacrifical unit and dont forget to share it with cloudcutter profile repo.
Yes very true.. Thankfully they have ton of them already and growing.
A couple dollars to help stick it to the CCP sounds like a deal to me.
Thanks for the video! How do I create my own profile, because the device that I used doesn’t work on itchiptool. 😢
Instead of talking too much, just write down all step and video record accordingly. This way you wont confuse other people. Plus your accent is also very weird. But thanks anyways for all your hard work and sharing it to us.
That's what I did. You can choose the guide if you don't want the video. Some people prefer the video so we get both yo. Oh and I don't have an accent.
what happened after a kickstart image was installed, can I change it if I chose the wrong one? I am not sure if I did it correctly, as it does not show proper pins and control in HA after the Beken device was configured. Appreciate your help.
you have kickstart on, then you should use LT Chip Tool to read the config so it can create the custom config for your device.
My problem now is I have the yaml config from the tool and/or the website, but when I "create device" in esphome, add the yaml config I got, then go to compile it so I can upload it to my plug with Kickstart on it, it fails to compile. Maybe it is because I use a pi 3b+ for my HAOS. I thought getting Kickstart load on was going to be most challenging part of this.
