    This is the BK7231T version of the Feit outdoor plug, distinct from the BK7231N version.

    Feit circuit board with visible solder pads and a button. Printed circuit board with electronic components, including capacitors, a relay, and a row of holes. Black Feit outdoor plug with a button on top. Feit Electric Wi-Fi Smart Outdoor Plug with information label

    The device has a single relay that switches the two outlets, a button, a blue LED, and a red LED.

    WARNING: The PCB has a row of header holes labeled 3V, IO0, RX, TX, and GND, but it is a lie! All the pins except 3V are actually GND.

    Instead, the UART and CEN pins can be accessed via solder pads on the back of the board.

    I can add that I used "uartprogram" to flash it. The GUI flasher hasn't been working for me lately (on Linux), it just hangs at "Reading 0x00".

    Hey, what do you mean by lately? Are older builds of GUI flasher working but newer don't? If so, please provide more information, some update might have introduced a bug.

    I've only used one version of the GUI flasher tool, downloaded on Sep 28. Looking back, I've only succeeded flashing BK7231N devices with it (2 devices), but failed with BK7231T (3 devices). Don't know if it's a coincidence.
