@@Everything-Type-C Great video, thanks! Do you have a guide/ a point in the right direction for flashing something like esphome on the socket? Thanks!
Thank you ! Based on the components inside, it could be either the power supply itself that is broken, the relay or the microcontroller that is bad. Does it show any signs of life ?
A year later no video on the flashing .. so guess you did not manage to get this to work ? By the way still kudo;s for this video (how to open the smart plug)
My smart plug is stuck on blue led light. I can't reset it. There is no current if I try to plug something on it. It happen every time I try to disconnect the plug to another place. I managed few time to reset it by waiting few hours to plug into the wall but it seems worse now. I don't know if it's fixable ?
@@ppn7 On these cheap smart plugs it commonly fails a 10V 470uF capacitor, if you know how to solder a capacitor you could try to open and repair it. Check this other video: ua-cam.com/video/4cR9QpsVWSc/v-deo.html
"Is it safe to flash ESPHome on it? One time, I flashed ESPhome onto 10 pieces of this Tuya chip, and they only worked maybe for 1-2 months. They became very hot. Now I bought some of these plugs, and I'm scared to reflash them. What do you mean?
Unfortunately ESPHome might not work on these because they do not use ESP32 or ESP8266 but I've seen some repos in GitHub with tools to flash Tasmota on them. Not sure why they would get hot with another firmware since they work fine with the stock one. Wifi is always on on the stock firmware as well and that is the main power consumer on these little devices. Maybe I will make a video on how to flash different firmware on these devices.
@@Everything-Type-C hey. thanks for replay. Esphome now suport this tuya chip. but somthing is wrong there. they have one capacitor that become with esphome code very hot. and after some time the device get wrong, capacitor failure
@@farkasroman I just checked and it seems you are right about the support in ESPHome. These are great news ! I will try to flash one of the plugs I have with ESPHome and see if there are any issues. To be honest I can't think of a reason why a capacitor would get hot with another firmware since most of them are used for smoothing power. I'll reflash one and check it with a thermal camera to see what happens
These Tuya Relays often drive the relay with a Transistor that pulls too much current from the gpio due to only having like 1.5 Ohm resistor & then gets pretty warm Either put a bigger 1.5k resistor in front of the Transistor or replace with mosfet I also realized my Beken module is getting piping hot. that kills the capacitor. In OpenBeken you need to enable "Powersave 1" but I've got no clue how it's done in Esphome (◞‸◟；)
I would love a video on how to wire it in order to load Tasmota :). Any idea when that is coming?
I'm planning on doing exactly that so stay tuned :D

You better don't see how I had to open mine.............xDDD. Really well done.
WOW! Thank you holy man!
I have found a few of these things but rated at 16A instead of 20A, I wonder if those have the same ESP chip so I can flash Tasmota on it
Do you find the answer to the question, if tasmota is possible?
Very nice, i habe one but it's not turning on. What could be broken?

Muy bien🎉 gracias
Can you also give the affiliate link where to purchase the clamp?
hello hi,i have this smart plug, but now it is not tuning on, totaly death, what componets is broken, where is the power supply components ?
A year later no video on the flashing .. so guess you did not manage to get this to work ?
By the way still kudo;s for this video (how to open the smart plug)
Thank you!!!!!!
cool. i love this :)
I'm really glad to hear that ! :D
My smart connects app.Can on/off.But no output power?Do you have any solution?
I am using tuya CZ010W-16A
Internal fuse was brusted.I replaced it.

thanks mate
great ! thy
Does someone have that socket? I got it in the mail today but I can't get it connected. I doesn't show up anywhere.

I bought 7 of those and 2 already gone bad in 2 years of use. Piece of shit really.
