Installing Tasmota Over the Air via Yuya Convert using a Raspberry Pi.
One this has been setup you can just keep the SD card and insert into any Raspberry Pi with ethernet and WiFi.
Important Details
WiFi Name: vtrust-flash
WiFiPassword: flashmeifyoucan
Requirements
- Raspberry Pi with an Ethernet port ( Pi 1,2,3 or 4. not a 0 )
- 16GB Micro SSD
Supported ESP Chips
At time of writing Tuya Convert supports the following ESP chips
- ESP866
- TYWE1S
- TYWES3
- TYWE3L
- TYLC4
- TYWE5P
- ESP8285
- TYWE2S
- TYWE2L
- TYLC5
- TYWE3SE
Setup
- Download the latest Raspberry Pi OS Image and flash it to the SD card using Raspberry Pi Imager, DD or any imager you like.
* Raspberry Pi imager allow you to set the locale via advanced settings
Ensure WiFi is available
SSH into the computer
ssh pi@10.0.0.2
sudo raspi-config
> Localization Options
> WLAN Country
> Select the country in which the Pi is to be used.
sudo rebootOptionally this step can be done at time of flashing the SD card by using the advanced setting in Raspberry Pi Imager
Install Tuya Convert Software
Install git if using the lite version of Raspberry Pi OS

./tuya-convert/start_flash.shtuya-convert v9.9.9 TUYA-CONVERT https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert TUYA-CONVERT was developed by Michael Steigerwald from the IT security company VTRUST (https://www.vtrust.de/) in collaboration with the techjournalists Merlin Schumacher, Pina Merkert, Andrijan Moecker and Jan Mahn at c't Magazine. (https://www.ct.de/) ====================================================== PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY! TUYA-CONVERT creates a fake update server environment for ESP8266/85 based tuya devices. It enables you to backup your devices firmware and upload an alternative one (e.g. ESPEasy, Tasmota, Espurna) without the need to open the device and solder a serial connection (OTA, Over-the-air). Please make sure that you understand the consequences of flashing an alternative firmware, since you might lose functionality! Flashing an alternative firmware can cause unexpected device behavior and/or render the device unusable. Be aware that you do use this software at YOUR OWN RISK! Please acknowledge that VTRUST and c't Magazine (or Heise Medien GmbH & Co. KG) CAN NOT be held accountable for ANY DAMAGE or LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY by typing yes + Enter

Put your IoT device in autoconfig/smartconfig/pairing mode (LED will blink fast). This is usually done by pressing and holding the primary button of the device Make sure nothing else is plugged into your IoT device while attempting to flash. Press ENTER to continue
