Potential Wireless Flash for EKAZA Smart Plug 16A - TYWE2S - MCU V1.1.7?

Hello everyone,

I've been having a bit of a head-scratcher lately. I've got this **EKAZA Smart Plug, a 16A model with a TYWE2S chip, rocking firmware MCU V1.1.7**. I've been trying to flash it with esphome, but there's a bit of a hiccup - the firmware seems to be not compatible with the tools I usually use, [LibreTiny and Tuya-CloudCutter.](https://github.com/kuba2k2/libretiny/issues/138#issue-1757865231)

And now, the big question mark: Is there a way to flash this bad boy wirelessly, without resorting to surgery (aka opening the box)? Or if I have to go the wired route, is it possible with serial mode using a cable? And if so, do I need to connect any GPIO to the ground?

I'm super grateful for any insight you can provide. And if there's any additional info you need about the device, just let me know! Here's the rundown:

- Device: EKAZA Smart Plug 16A
- Chip: TYWE2S
- Firmware Version: MCU V1.1.7

Thanks a ton and looking forward to your thoughts!


The report names an EKAZA Smart Plug 16A, TYWE2S, MCU V1.1.7, ESPHome, LibreTiny, and Tuya-CloudCutter, but no repository file or test. Start by checking the linked LibreTiny issue and the repository's documented flashing workflow; done would require a confirmed wireless or serial procedure for this device, including any GPIO-to-ground requirement.
