I’m looking for a wall switch that I will take Tasmota firmware (so a ESP82XX chipset generally) but can get easily sourced and aren’t a huge pain to reprogram.

I’m totally cool with soldering some serial jump points from the board of the appropriate Rx/Tx/GRND/3.3V and pin0 are readily available, but try to avoid stuff that requires soldering the chip itself.

I used to be able to get Globe etc dimmers from Costco that were flashable via the old OTA Tuya-Convert method, but that seems to be a thing of the past and I just need a regular ol’ non-dimmer switch which is easy to find and access the required pins these days.

If there are switches which take 110VAC but don’t output power, that’s even better as some I’m just looking to supplement devices already have power but are inconvenient to access

      Yeah, I just got a few of the CloudFree Motion Light Switches and am quite happy with them. I had some trouble initially but then figured out I needed my 2.4GHz network to have a fixed channel, apparently that’s a common thing with Tasmota on some chips. Now I have one pair acting as main/remote for my basement lights, and some others just acting as motion sensing switches but with the benefit of being able to monitor motion remotely.

      I was looking at those actually. Price isn’t too bad although shipping to Canada is a bit of a pain, but it’s nice that it is already Tasmotized!
