STAY AWAY from Gosund plugs #1101

Closed samip5 closed 6 months ago

samip5 commented 9 months ago

I got confirmation from their support that most of their plugs are already upgraded versions and cannot be downgraded.

For reference:

Hi Skyler,
Thank you for your email.
Most of our plugs are already upgraded and they no longer support flashing to Tasmota.
We are sorry to inform you that upon checking, your smart plug is an upgraded version. Therefore, the firmware cannot be updated to v1.0.8.
We are hoping for your understanding.

Which Version of Tasmota do you have?

Main Module lists version as v1.1.15 and Other type: v1.0.7 so expect every single one of these to be non-downgradeable if you're currently thinking about them.

I've just flashed Gosund EP2 smart plugs with the firmware version: 1.0.8 4 with Tuya converter installed on Raspberry Pi4 - i had no Issues with flashing.

That version is exactly the ONLY ONE which works, but most ones you can buy anymore are running newer than that, and thus will not work.

broyuken commented 7 months ago

you should still be able to open them up and flash them

Doesn't matter, as I'm not going to open it.

if you get some old models from the store then you may have 1.0.4 firmware.(Probably tuya forced them to stop flashing EP2 to customers plugs) But there is also EP2 with a beken chip. (EP2 RTL as gosund support says) gosund ran out of esp chips??

TrustedFloppa commented 7 months ago

so sad they are patched, i didn't get to flash tasmota on mine :(
