A few years ago you could flash cheap tuya devices with this tasmota firmware, so you could add it to your homeassistant with wifi. Nk cloud. Later tuya devices had upgraded hardware which made it hard to convert. Anybody knows if things have changed?

I've found many of the devices can now be flashed with https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App

There might be similar devices that even come with Tasmota pre-installed these days.

  Yeah, I've resorted to buying Pre-Flashed tasmota devices. There's this german webshop mediarath.de, which sells home-automation devices that come pre-flashed with a customizable tasmota build for not much more then 'default'

There's a fork of ESPHome called LibreTiny that runs on some of the more recent Tuya devices, but it requires flashing it using a serial adapter and soldering to various pads unless you have a jig to do it. I just decided to go all in on Zigbee devices instead (except for the Shelly Plus 1's I have).

  It's built-in to ESPHome now, actually!

    Yeah, but not many ESP boards ship with ZigBee support.

  It’s not actually that hard, all I needed to flash my device was a TTL USB with 3.3v and soldering two cables.

If you're comfortable with some soldering/de-soldering, you can replace the entire chip in some cases. I did so with some downlights a while ago. They've been working great with Tasmota for some months now: https://imgur.com/a/A9donLJ https://imgur.com/a/A9donLJ.
