The Grid Connect is Tuya based according to the templates on blakadder.
So this might be better if the usb c is important but does have lower total output 3.4a vs 4.2a.

Here's a couple of smart plugs that are local in AUS yet flash-able with Tasmota so something else for you to consider. From the reading I did this morning looks like those Mirabella Genio bulbs are flash-able too which is pretty cool.

No power monitoring on the grid connect or the Jinvoo stuff though.

If the grid-connect can be OTA flashed that would be alright for other stuff though, just don't want to be pulling stuff apart and playing with wires.

stevebott123 · October 17, 2019, 11:46pm

59 at bunnings atm. Was considering the hue gu10s, but the lumens are so low.

gbrown · October 17, 2019, 11:46pm

Oh I wouldn't take the Hardly Normal price as ... well the norm. lol

stevebott123 · October 17, 2019, 11:47pm

its the RRP - but none of us ever pay that.

gbrown · October 17, 2019, 11:48pm

Yep. Goodness JbHifi have em for 89. Madness!

stevebott123 · October 18, 2019, 12:36am

So can you set levels with this at all ?

keith_munro · October 18, 2019, 1:19am

Think I'm going to have to learn how to flash this stuff as the kmart stuff brings the price point/TCO right down for a little extra effort

gbrown · October 18, 2019, 1:28am

Or we just send them all to @jchurch and he can flash em for us... for a nominal fee of course.

jchurch · October 18, 2019, 1:39am

I actually enjoy doing it so if you guys want me to get one and document it I can or I can do it for you

keith_munro · October 18, 2019, 2:15am

Outsourcing sounds like the go to me
@jchurch a document on flashing would be wonderful please sir

jchurch · October 18, 2019, 3:23am

Alright I picked up one of these at lunch time. I will see how I go.

stevebott123 · October 18, 2019, 3:56am

just went past JB HiFi Home store near me and they have quite the large smart home section with some bits and pieces there.

at9 · October 18, 2019, 5:45am

I've flashed 2 of them with Tasmota and are working fine.

jchurch · October 18, 2019, 5:58am

Yeah from what I have read online they seem easy as. Anyways I will document it as I go including HE integration and send it onto all. Unless you have one already then feel free to share.

Sorry it was my first time flashing anything so never thought to document it.
All i did was use this diagram of the chip and soldered on the jumpers.
