  1. Install the esphome kickstart firmware using tuya cloudcutter.

    • Select 'By firmware version and name'
    • In my case it was 2.9.16 - BK7231T / oem_bk7231s_light_ty

  2. Fire up esphome with docker:

    version: "3"
services:
  esphome:
    container_name: esphome
    image: ghcr.io/esphome/esphome:latest
    volumes:
      - ./configs:/config:rw
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    restart: always
    privileged: false
    network_mode: host

  3. Go to the esphome portal (e.g http://localhost:6052), and add a device. Choose any device type

  4. Edit the config and replace the esp board config with:

    bk72xx:
  board: generic-bk7231t-qfn32-tuya

  5. Add this to control the light:

sm2135:
  data_pin: P26
  clock_pin: P24
  cw_current: 35mA
  rgb_current: 10mA

output:
