Just bought and flashed a 2nd brilliant smart plug to tasmota. Had to re-aquaint myself with teh process, but added it to my openhab machine as a container i can start whenever I need to. First time I did it I had a spare raspberry pi with the tuya-convert software.
Took me 30 mins whoa to go( to be fair most of that 30 mins was writing instructions and getting the docker container running since I forgot how I did it last time), so now it's in openhab and homekit for use. No specific manufacturer app here, or phoning home.
I got some kogan plugs, was going to hook them up with HA but virtual box has decided that every time I start running home assistant and it gets to the started screen to start making my PC non responsive so good times ahead trying to figure out why lol
