ESP8266 convert for Muvit IO MIOGAR001 Christmas Smart Lights
I recently bought a Muvit IO MIOGAR001 Christmas Smart Lights. These leds are tuya based implementation with the WBS2 chip and have wifi and bluetooth connectivity. Several effects incorporated and maneagable throught the smartlife app.
I wanted to have these lights integrated within my HA instance. Tuya component offers a pretty basic compatibility with just ON and OFF capabilities.
Although the lights are fine have some major caveats from my point of view:
- WIFI connectivity is pretty inconsistent. Lots of wifi disconnections forcing you to unplug/plug again the device
- Basic integration with Home Assistant. Because the previous problem, the management of these lights is pretty unreliable
- Cloud based solution, mandatory to pass through Tuya cloud. I wanted to avoid this and have full local control
After looking at this thread https://community.home-assistant.io/t/mirabella-genio-smart-home/85816/171, I decided to make my own modification of the device for better control
