Guidance on flashing Lucci Connect fan remote

[mikeb147]

Hi Hubitaters!

I need some help flashing my Lucci Connect fan remote as suggested by @at9 here: Hubitat for AUS/NZ Chat - #1654 by at9 :

Looks like you can flash Tasmota on them with tuya convert.
There is a fork of Tasmota modified to work with HE here.

Configure Lucci Connect Remote Control to work with Tasmota firmware

I have never flashed a device before, so have no idea where to start...

Some help would be much appreciated

You can flash to Tasmota using Tuya Convert by following this. Once you have Tasmota on there you can follow this HE thread for drivers and upgrading to HE specific firmware.

Great!

I'll give this a go!

I used this guide

Tuya Convert 2.3 Flash Tuya Smartlife Devices | No Soldering! | Remove the cloud | Custom Firmware

(Ha! @jchurch beat me to it!)

.....And followed all of Markus' instructions here to get the correct firmware

[DEPRECATED] Tasmota 7.x/8.x firmware for Hubitat + Tuya, Sonoff and other drivers

WARNING: Flashing this firmware MAY cause your device to not boot again. This warning is the SAME as for the STOCK Tasmota release. To fix this you MAY have to flash through TTL. Read all instructions of the original Tasmota firmware CAREFULLY and don't be in a rush! THIS DRIVER HAS BEEN DEPRECATED IN FAVOR OF A NEW SUIT OF DRIVERS, PLEASE CONSIDER UPGRADING The latest driver can be found here. Why this driver? There's a lot of confusion on which Tasmota driver to use with HE, for some reaso…

....remembering to flash in this order (you'll get the gist of it from subsequent responses from @jchurch and markus).

[DEPRECATED] Tasmota 7.x/8.x firmware for Hubitat + Tuya, Sonoff and other drivers

First time playing around with Tasmota so please bear with the dumb question - the OTA process for a new install (on a TYWE2S) is to first flash the 7.1.1 basic build using tuya convert, then test connect to my wifi network and then flash to 8.1.1 using tuya convert again?

@mikeb147 For the driver, it will require some specialization. It is easily added to the new driver which is in Closed Beta. PM me when you have flashed the device and we'll sort it out.
