The device has 2 indicator LEDs, 1 power button, 1 reset button and 1 controllable relay. The device is controlled by a ESP8266 that is from ECO-PLUGS/PAGECO-PLUGS, and the FCC filing can be found here. The device uses a Proprietary app that cannot be flashed to ESPHome OTA, the initial install must be USB to Serial. Once ESPHome is installed all future downloads can be OTA.

GPIO Pinout

The GPIO pinout was learned from NorthernMan54.

The GPIOs being used are:

Button: GPIO13
Relay1: GPIO15
Enter Flash Mode

In order to get the ESP chip into flash mode I did the following: Hold GPIO0 to ground, then apply power. My connections were soldered, so I left GPIO0 connected to ground for the duration of the flash. Once log showed a successful flash I removed the GPIO0, TX and RX pins and rebooted device.
