I recently bought an Easee Hugo dehumidifier - and it turns out that it came with the Tuya "cloud" BS embedded. I want to get rid of that so that I can control it - MQTT sounds like the easiest way.
I've read and read, but I can't really figure out what to do. As far as I understand, nobody has made a firmware that works with WBR3. Assuming that is true, reflashing it isn't an option - which leaves replacing it with another chip. I do have basic solder knowledge and do have a hot air solder gun, so I assume that I should be able to replace the chip.
What I haven't been able to figure out is what chip I should use instead, and what firmware/software. I've found no ready-made firmware for this device, so I expect that I have to figure out the mapping of the inputs and outputs myself. The device is fairly simple, a few operating modes, setting the humidity threshold and reading the current humidity, plus a couple of "states" like tank full and defrosting. It shouldn't be too hard. But, I need to find a combination of chip and firm/software that will work, and that will let me make the necessary "configuration" to make it controllable via local Wi-Fi.
Any help or hint is appreciated.
