Tuya Convert got you down?  Still looking for some devices that don't require soldering to flash your Tasmota, ESPHome, etc open source firmware?  We are checking out a few devices that can be flashed with the open pin headers.  No soldering!  If you have any devices to add to the list be sure to comment down below.  They will get added along with pictures of the pin headers on this Blog post.  Let's build the list and make all of our devices ours with pure local control!

Solderless Devices

Zemismart - 1,2, or 3 Switch

They refer to them as gangs, but there are three models based on how many switches you want. They are clickie style switches and fit in a standard US 1 gang width box.  Remove the 4 screws on the back and you'll see the pins all right there.  IO0 is the GPIO 0 pin.





Sonoff iFan03

The button is GPIO0 - hold the button while applying power for a few seconds, just like the Sonoff Basic

Finishing up the last bit of sensors and config on the Etekcity power monitoring plug.  No soldering required to flash the plug as they left us an open header to attach to.  Snuck in a little bit of the cool 3 way Martin Jerry switch.

Audio issues on the first piece, but we reset OBS to fix the issue!  Sorry guys/gals!

Installing the true 3 Way Smart Switch from Etekcity.  As always we flash the switch with open source firmware, Tasmota for 100% local control.  No soldering required to flash!  After the setup we do a slight modification to add a motion sensor to solve an issue I had in our laundry room.

3-Way Dimming without the cloud! I show the hallway 3 way light that was in dire need of dimming at night from our motion activated lights.  All of the Tasmota rules and links to wiring diagrams are included below. Enjoy!

The LOHAS LED Bulbs utilize dual channels of warm white and cool white LEDs on the MY9231/MY9291 LED drivers.  We show in ESPHome how to solve this issue with a custom component.  All of the sample configurations used in the video can be found at the GitHub link below.  The Anoop bulb is a dual channel PWM light shown in Tasmota.  We also show how to easily configure the device using the new copy and paste templates of Tasmota.

Do you use an electric dryer and need a solution to send voice notifications when the cycle is complete?  Let's build a simple non-invasive DIY sensor that monitors the electrical draw from the dryer using a Wemos D1/NodeMCU, a couple resistors, capacitor and a split core current transformer.  You can also apply this same project to many other electrical monitoring projects in the home. 

Parts List
Split Core Current Transformer
Wemos D1 Mini
10µF Capacitor
10k Resistors
Preformed Jumpers
