Description

I'm trying to flash a Stirling Tower Fan purchased from Aldi in Australia. It appears to be the same as the fan listed here: https://templates.blakadder.com/sichler_NX4538-944.html

I opened up the fan to see what micro-controller was installed. It is a TYWE3S.

I'm attempting to flash using a raspberry pi 4.

Tuya convert times out with the following messages:

`Timed out while waiting for the device to (re)connect
======================================================
Attempting to diagnose the issue...
No ESP82xx based devices connected according to your wifi log.
Here is a list of all the MAC addresses that connected:
72:16:cc:73:47:29

If you see your IoT device in this list, it is not an ESP82xx based device.
Otherwise, another issue may be preventing it from connecting`

I've previously captured the fan's MAC address and it is not the one listed above.

My log files are provided.
[smarthack-mqtt.log](https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert/files/7804152/smarthack-mqtt.log)

[smarthack-web.log](https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert/files/7804155/smarthack-web.log)
[smarthack-wifi.log](https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert/files/7804156/smarthack-wifi.log)

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. I'm keen to get it converted and don't mind resorting to using a soldering iron if necessary.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached smarthack-mqtt.log, smarthack-psk.log, smarthack-udp.log, smarthack-web.log, and smarthack-wifi.log, then compare the connection attempts with the TYWE3S device and its captured MAC address. Determine whether Tuya Convert supports this fan's hardware and, if not, what documented flashing route applies. Done means the timeout cause or a reproducible flashing path is established.
