#2A few years ago you could flash cheap tuya devices with this tasmota firmware, so you could add it to your homeassistant with wifi. Nk cloud. Later tuya devices had upgraded hardware which made it hard to convert. Anybody knows if things have changed?

I've found many of the devices can now be flashed with https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App

There might be similar devices that even come with Tasmota pre-installed these days.

There's a fork of ESPHome called LibreTiny that runs on some of the more recent Tuya devices, but it requires flashing it using a serial adapter and soldering to various pads unless you have a jig to do it.
I just decided to go all in on Zigbee devices instead (except for the Shelly Plus 1's I have).

It's built-in to ESPHome now, actually!

Yeah, I've resorted to buying Pre-Flashed tasmota devices. There's this german webshop mediarath.de, which sells home-automation devices that come pre-flashed with a customizable tasmota build for not much more then 'default'

If you're comfortable with some soldering/de-soldering, you can replace the entire chip in some cases. I did so with some downlights a while ago. They've been working great with Tasmota for some months now: https://imgur.com/a/A9donLJ. This is the post that gave me the confidence to do it: https://blakadder.com/replace-tuya-cb2l-wb2l-bw2l/
Re: Tasmota: Open-source firmware for ESP devices
#10I much prefer ESPHome, it really makes it easy to compile firmware and add on device automation, but Tasmota seems to also be a pretty good choice.
It seems like more native hardware is slowly coming out for this stuff, just not as fast as one might like, and none of it has much support for device-to-device interactions.
There's nothing except a full computer or Pi class device that can really discover and control this stuff, a handheld remote with months of battery life can't build a nice UI automatically quite yet, even though the hardware is there now(Cardputer, T-deck, etc)
