    A smart switch with an ESP8285 directly soldered to the PCB

    Tuya-convert doesn't work. I used the Tasmota web installer to flash the device

    Overal quality of the switch seems very cheap, I can see only the fusible resistor protection of the input, but still, it should do the job. Have you managed to get the Tasmota template for that one?

    I just had the same device and realized... it has no LDO! BP2525 provides 3.3V directly, and relay is also for 3.3V. Interesting. @divadiow
    Here's flash backup: https://github.com/openshwprojects/FlashDumps/commit/e990c20d65816edfeb424e4befbda3631ea2257e

  • IO13/D7 used to enter AP mode

    I have flashed and paired. IO13/D7 to get into AP mode.

    Is it? I didn't look there much, but at some point I assumed that for non-TuyaMCU devices, it will have only a single version string. I may be wrong.

Topic summary

LABEL_AI_GENERATED
Discussion of a cheap ESP8285-based smart switch (MS-101 / TDQ-101-U1-V1.7) that could not be flashed with Tuya-Convert, but was successfully flashed using the Tasmota web installer. The initial pinout identified GPIO5 as LED, GPIO12 as relay, and GPIO13 as button. Later posts noted the device appears to use a BP2525 power supply with no LDO, providing 3.3 V directly, and that the relay is also a 3.3 V part. A flash backup was shared, and another user reported successful flashing and pairing, including entering AP mode via IO13/D7 and confirming ESP8285 boot details and flash size. There was also discussion about whether the device uses a TuyaMCU and how version strings are reported.
