I've recently broken down and flashed a Deta Grid Connect DET100HA outdoor PIR motion sensor with Tasmota but need a one-on-one session with someone familiar with the TuyaMCU Command instructions located here https://tasmota.github.io/docs/TuyaMCU/

While the motion light is working and I can see it in Home Assistant, I obviously have to run some mapping commands to get control of the following:

Relay for load
Motion sensor
Internal red LED
Motion Sensitivity
???
???

If anyone has any experience with this before I reach out to Travis at digiblurDIY, please send me a DM.

@xbmcnut have these PIR been running ok?
Have just discovered and may have a use case for these if they can be flashed with Tasmota

@andrewbnz messaged me directly as he'd had some success with ESPHome. His gist is here https://gist.github.com/andrewb-nz/42efe0fc3a97ea9814b96de93df19e0b. I have not done any more with mine but have just messaged Andrew to see if he's done any more and he may chime in here?

As @xbmcnut mentioned, I did have some success running this sensor using esphome, But since then my use case has changed and the sensor is currently sitting unused.

The gist linked in the post above was working fairly reliably for me while I was using it, and should be fairly easy to setup in Tasmota

Hi xbmcnut, this is very helpful, I just wanted to convert to esphome so I am in a similar position, i have both the DET100HA and DET102HA.

When you say broke down... what exactly did you mean here :D as in open up the units or just had enough and decided to convert finally?

I am trying to understand if they can be flashed without pulling apart using tuya-convert, are you able to please elaborate?

Very much appreciated, cheers!

You have to pull it apart and unsolder the WiFi module to flash it for the first time. From then on, should should be able to switch firmware without issues.

Thanks, its actually what I suspected, but nice to know for sure.

Looks like I have some work cut out for me then.

Did you reseal the 100's and what did you use if you did? Thanks again!
