Tasmota: Houzetek AWP07L Smart WiFi Plug

[xenio]

I just bought this nice and compact Smart Plug with Energy Meter on Amazon.
There is the app for Android/iOS but I'll love to flash Tasmota to make it works with all my Sonoff/Node Red system.

This is the website:
https://www.houzetek.com/product-awp07l-smart-wifi-plug-eu1

Amazon Link:
https://www.amazon.it/Intelligente-Houzetek-programmabile-Telecomando-casaPresa/dp/B07FNQNQYD

Unluckily, as you can see in the pictures of the board, there is no indication sign for programming the plug.
Any idea?
Thanks.
Sandro.

Hi,

Seems difficult, but to flash Tasmota you will need to solder wires there.

If you want to do that, then you will need to figure out which GPIOs are being used. You can set module Generic to test it.

Thanks.

Thank, very helpful.
Anyway I destroyed one of my smart plug and I've go all the pins on the back. :)

@xenio Where you able to flash it with Tasmota?

Thanx!

[xenio]

@seritos Yes, I've got a second plug and soldered the pins to flash it with tasmota.
I think the original firmware is Tuya, there is a way to flash it over the air without opening it. Just check "digiblurDIY" video on YouTube.

[JoeLoginIsAlreadyTaken]

I can recommend "Traditional Chinese Flashing" with this plugs.
Stick some tesa-film over open device and place acupuncture needles trough the film to the pins.
Works great for me. No soldering needed.

[fragolinux]

can i reopen this or have to do a new one? i just flashed this via tuya-convert, all fine, there's also a template on https://blakadder.github.io/templates/avatar.html but the device seems not getting voltage readings...

sorry, i thought it was best here where answers can be searched by others, too, and someone can read even after time, while in chat the support request is soon passed by other comments... ok, i'll go there, anyway, thanks :)

thanks, solved thanks to chat, this is the correct template:

acupuncture needles

I can recommend "Traditional Chinese Flashing" with this plugs.
Stick some tesa-film over open device and place acupuncture needles trough the film to the pins.
Works great for me. No soldering needed.

Thanks for the picture.

I see 5 needles, I understand the four I named in the picture, what is the fifth for?

I've tried the tuya.convert, but something went wrong and now the plug seems to be dead.
So now I would like to try to load tasmota on it...

[markushl]

Hi woody4165!
If you compare the pin position with the image from the back, is that ??? Pin labeled IO0. I suspect that this must be set to Ground as with other ESP chips to enter the flash mode...

[woody4165]

Thanks, luckily I've rescued the smart plug using a Proxmox installation of Tuya Convert, so without opening it.

[stepic]

I used tuya-convert to install Tasmota on this plug but I experience repeated clicks and reboots. I used the following template: {"NAME":"AWP07L","GPIO":[56,255,255,255,255,134,255,255,130,17,132,21,255],"FLAG":1,"BASE":18}
I tried to reflash firmware OTA (even sonoff-basic) without any luck.
Any suggestion?

[markushl]

Hi stepic,

I successfully use the following template (go to Configure Template):

Hi stepic,

I have the same template and it keeps turning off/on

Do you have second SSID defined?

[stepic]

I have no secondary SSID defined

Does anyone has the original Firmware of this plug? I think I have broken it when flashing it... I would like to download the original firmware and see if I have any chance of recovering it.

Thanx!

[ascillato]

The original firmware is linked to the mac address of your device. Using other people's firmware will make theirs to disconnect from the APP and from the cloud and yours will behave the same. That is why, it is recommended to backup your firmware before uploading any alternative firmware.

[seritos]

Thanx @ascillato2 for your answer.

I have a problem with this device. It only supports Tasmota. If I try to upload the thirdparty bin from the tuya ( via cable ) HAA from Ranvecore or any other alternative FW except tasmota it doesn't work.
Do you know if it has been done something special to make this device compatible? Would be awesome to know to transfer it to other alternative FW.
Thx!

[ascillato]

I don't know those firmware, sorry. You should ask them how to flash those firmwares.

[seritos]

@ascillato2, the fact is more if it has been something changes in the tasmota FW to make it compatible.

thanx

[ascillato]

No, there isn't. The serial flashing process is more less the same for all firmwares. But, It is a must to erase before flashing.

thanks, solved thanks to chat, this is the correct template:

Looking at your values this doesn't really seems to work? I tried it with my recently bought Avatar AWP07L and it does not work.. Voltage seems ok but the Rest is not. Current just stays to whatever i calibrate it.. and POwer works quite ok before cailbration and after only for the calibrated load and no other :( :(

Hi, I bought a new one. Sam model. I would like to make a backup, but I don't know te commands to proceed. Any recommendation?

I have this one, but I don't know if its correct:

esptool.py --port /dev/tty.usbserial-00000000 read_flash 0x00000 0x100000 backup.bin

Should I change the address if I unknown the memory size?

Thanks

Thank
