I got a couple at $16, flashed with Tasmota, and then got total of 6 other single plugs, and then two more of these (at $20, didn't want to wait in case they disable Tuya Convert).
Work great, with Power Monitoring and three smart outlets.
Get started, if you aren't already having enough.
Tuya devices/app on the stock firmware require a cloud connection to function. Millions of people and apps use the Tuya cloud. Do you trust Tuya or their cloud to always be connected to your home network?
Tasmota is an alternate firmware for esp8266 devices. Among other things it allows you to control and customize the devices from a web browser. Tasmota does not require a cloud connection. Once you flash a device to Tasmota you have no need to ever let the device communicate outside of your local network again.
If you're lucky you can flash Tasmota directly using a program on your computer called tuya-convert. More recent firmwares for these devices have disabled that ability and the only way to flash them is to open the device and solder wires to the chip to serial flash them.
The most functional way to automate with tasmota flashed devices in most situations is using MQTT. MQTT is baked into Tasmota.
MQTT is a home automation communication protocol which requires all your devices to talk to a "broker". For esp8266 devices this occurs over wifi.
The broker is often a program running on a server on your home network. Your tasmota flashed devices talk to the broker program. Your homekit (through a compatibility layer), homeassistant, or other home automation program on your phone talks to the broker which then talks to the devices. You dont need to use MQTT to make use of Tasmota devices but for a lot of use case scenarios its the best way.
