    Hello,

    Teardown of Eightree Smart WiFi Power Strip with 3 AC Ports, 16A.
    Bought on Amazon in December 2024, ASIN: B0C6X3YWTZ.
    It has 3 independent AC slots and energy consumption monitoring.
    To open the device, remove the white pads and the 6 tri-angle (TA) screws.

    Flashing
    Was able to flash using a USB to Serial Adapter and BK7231GUIFlashTool.
    The schema from here seems correct:https://docs.libretiny.eu/boards/cbu
    I tried it without soldering using this flashing jig (https://www.printables.com/model/763948-tuya-cbu-flashing-jig) but was not successful.
    Soldering VCC and GND and for RX, TX and CEN holding it with the flashing jig worked. Reboot by connecting CEN (PIN18) to GND.
