Description

This feels like a stretch for a GitHub issue, but I haven't found a better place to ask. I'd be happy to be redirected.

I'm trying to find an E26/E27 bulb base that's suitable for incandescent bulbs that I can OTA switch to Tasmota. I've tried the [AIcase](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BTQJG6J) (which had reports of successful conversion) and the [wrpacttg](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0834VWJGH/) units. Both sets that I received appear to have been updated to the newer firmware and suffer from #483.

I did some minor disassembly on the AIcase and I don't see a good way to get access to the pins to do a hardwired upgrade.

I've ordered a Sonoff Slampher, which is not OTA upgradable but has an easily accessible set of pin headers. The base might turn out to be too big for my use case though, so I'm still looking.

I'd be happy to find someone that still has "New Old Stock" of the AIcase or wrpacttg bases....
