Flashing of three Avatar E14 bulbs not possible

carsten-h commented 4 years ago

Hello!

I have three Avatar E14 bulbs (ALS15L) that I can not flash. The link to them is this: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07W6Z6KPG and here is the entry for tasmota: https://templates.blakadder.com/avatar_ALS15L.html.

I flashed three of them (one was in a package with one of the new ones) before with no problems, but it is a while ago. With the Smartlife app I can see the following versions: Hauptmodul: 1.0.1 MCU-Modul: 1.0.1

This is what is happening on the shell:

IMPORTANT
1. Connect any other device (a smartphone or something) to the WIFI vtrust-flash
   This step is IMPORTANT otherwise the smartconfig may not work!
2. 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.
3. Press ENTER to continue

The bulb was flashion fast at starting and just before the first "SmartConfig complete" is shown it stops flashing and is on all the time.

Here are the logfiles in one file: logfiles.txt

Is there anyone out there who can help me with this? The strange thing is that it worked three weeks ago with bulbs and switches without any problem.

I just flashed a set of the Avatar bulbs https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SBPBDZW and had some issues at first. What I found is that I had to delete the files for Tuya Convert each time and had to make sure I connected my cell phone to the vtrust-flash network that my computer created before putting the bulb into pairing mode by turning it on and off at least three times with about a second in between.

I however used ESPHome as my firmware provider and had to compile those based on https://esphome.io/cookbook/teckin_sb50.html setup.

What do you mean with "I had to delete the files for Tuya Convert each time", what files did you have to delete?

I am having the same issue with different bulbs by the same company.

Literally removed all of the files, deleted the directory and extracted them again from the archive. It worked once and then not again. The other day I got some bulbs from the local big box store that I figured were also Tuya based and they flashed without any issue whatsoever.

I'm having the same problem with the same light bulbs and a raspberry pi4. I also noticed that my phone took very long time to join the vtrust-flash wifi network. Only after it happens I put the light bulb in flashing mode but it stops to blink before the first "SmartConfig complete".

Here is the log files, can anyone help? Thanks in advance

I have the same issue with the E14 bulbs ALS15L. If I'm not mistaken, this is our issue: https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert/issues/483 Seeing the same issues in the logfiles as the above.
