Colleagues,

I am trying to sflash the module as in the title by Tuya Cloudcutter. The method is nicely described here: https://digiblur.com/2023/08/19/updated-tuya-cloudcutter-with-esphome-bk7231-how-to-guide/ , except that in the link there is a tutorial on how to do it with the help of Rasp Pi, however I am using the Live CD with Debian. I have a device exactly like the one in https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/topic3912748.html , only that I strongly doubt I'll be able to solder anything to such micropads. Consequently, I've been pinning high hopes with the 'non-soldering' method, which I'm 'failing'. And here is the question - am I doing something wrong, or is my device not susceptible to the 'exploit' method?
I am pasting the 'dialogue' from the console below. Is there any chance of success with the solderless method or should I buy a more powerful magnifying glass?
P.S. The computer is connected via both cable and WiFi.

Hello,

I need help in this, I am desperate I have tried it all.

I have the Aubess 16A smart plug.
I have never paired it with any tuya app or another.

I can get to the quick blinking mode.
I CANNOT get the slow blinking mode.

"Place your device in AP (slow blink) mode. This can usually be accomplished by either:
Power cycling off/on - 3 times and wait for the device to fast-blink, then repeat 3 more times. Some devices need 4 or 5 times on each side of the pause
Long press the power/reset button on the device until it starts fast-blinking, then releasing, and then holding the power/reset button again until the device starts slow-blinking.
See https://support.tuya.com/en/help/_detail/K9hut3w10nby8 for more information."

I have tried click 10 times on the button.
Power on and off 3, 5, and 10 times.
Holding the button for 5 seconds, letting it go and hold for another (a lot) of seconds.
Holding the button for (a lot) of seconds, without releasing.

Nothing happens.
How can I get to slow blinking/AP mode in this plug?

I seem to have managed to do the hard part, the rpi 4 is ready with the script running...

Please help!!!

EDIT: I don't have the manual anymore, been googling it without success. Maybe there is mentioned on how to do it.
@cherry34, how did you get to slow blinking mode?
Thank you

1 - Power up the switch and wait a couple of seconds.
2 - Press the button for about 6 - 7 seconds. It should start blinking fast.
3 - Wait a couple of seconds
4 - Press the button again for another 6 - 7 seconds. It should start blinking slow and you should be able to see a SmartLife-XXX SSID.

Cheers.
