Great video again. I didn't know it's possible to disassemble pin configuration from original firmware, that's what I was missing all the time

That part is down right amaze balls. Mind is still blown here that you can do that.

Excellent information!, I have 3 switches where the power source isn't working, but I'm trying to repurpose them by replacing the power source. The chip and relays are in perfect condition; the chip is the PSF-B04. I hope to start my channel by repurposing several switches damaged by the power source and modifying the firmware of the ESP chips. Thanks for the video! 🤖

I keep putting this on my todo list and the process keeps changing. Lol Keep up the good work. Also I am unsure how i have never heard of a BDM Frame. That looks great!

I'm not sure it will get much easier after this... maybe just after the 2023.9 ESPHome release is a good time to start.

Great video as always. Suggestion: Remind people that the USB Power Switch, many do not have Data Line passthrough. so careful which one you purchase or double check when you get it and send back if data lines are not passed through.

Thanks for the info Trav. I gotta say that I am Zigbee hooked here (Probably 50 devices or so). Private,, Solid, reliable, and never an issue so far. but love the ESP stuff 2...

Zigbee is cool for sure especially for the taking out the box and roll but for things like this 4 button switch, I do prefer the WiFi open source there so you can do whatever you want in the firmware. Rocking about 40-50 zigbee devices myself though.

Thank you for this video as this opens so many possibilities. Perhaps consider if you would handle your garage opener differently now.

I haven't touched openbeken in a while as I decided to go esphome on Beken stuff for now as it also allowed me touch up on my ESP based projects too. I have done the fan controllers with Esphome on Beken devices and it works fine. See here digiblur.com/wiki/devices/other/treatlife_esmlfe_fan_ds03_beken

Man, I would be interested in those WiFi remotes from tuya....

One more device free from ☁️ 👍

Hey Digi! Big fan of your videos and work. I cloudcuttered (Cloudcut?) 2 energy monitoring plugs already thanks to you. I'm having an issue with a device. It's a Moes IR/RF wifi receiver/transmitter, similar to the UFO one, but thumb drive form factor. It has a WB3S chip. Cloudcutter couldn't exploit it wirelessly so I opened it up. I soldered all the pins, connected the ame serial to usb you have and when doing the firmware dump, with a few ground to cen touches, ltchiptool begins reading the firmware but then fails after about 2%. Any advice? Thanks so much and looking forward to more vids :)

Is there something tied to the RX TX pins possibly?

Not sure if this is what you mean, but I tried checking continuity with a multimeter from the rx/tx to other components and it beeps on a few legs of a nearby chip, also on a bunch of capacitors and even on the data pins of the usb port it uses for power. Do you think I need to de-solder anything?@@digiblurDIY

Friends don't let friends use cloud based smart home devices. So many devices are no longer hackable, which sucks.I still remember using a D1 mini way back in the day to do man in the middle firmware hack. Those were the days.

I think that is still kind of a thing with the Lightleak android app for Tuya hacks.

This does not often work. Vendors are now burning programming fuses in the MCU so they are read only and cannot be reprogrammed via the serial interface.
