Generic USB Wifi Switch

General Notes

There are various models of these generic USB Wifi switches. They come with 1, 2, or 3 individually switchable USB output ports, but only the first passes data.

GPIO Pinout

Pin	Function
P6	LED
P7	Relay 1
P8	Button
P26	Relay 2
P24	Relay 3

Flashing

They use a Tuya CBU module with easily accessible flashing pins.

The 3 output model restricts access to the uart2 pins for logging, but they aren't necessary for flashing.

I used ltchiptool to backup the original firmware and flash an esphome uf2 binary to it.
