You can install ESPHome on these the same way, just use ESPHome firmware instead of Tasmota. There are configs available online for these kinds of plugs. I don't know where the rx and tx lines are on that daughterboard, sorry.

Huh? Was it because I didn't respond immediately? I can't monitor my GitHub notifications 24/7, you know

[wbarber69]

Because you responded with a link to the same page I contacted you from

I didn't do anything like that. It must have been GitHub automatically sending an email to you when the issue was opened

Just got another set of four ZooZee SA102 plugs (same internals) and was happy to see you were able to make use of my diagram. Nice write-up!

I have a couple of EMS01s. I wasn't sure if the window would line up, so I used a heating pad meant for removing phone screens and heated the long sides, one at a time, then cut into the edge. I'm not sure how much glue there actually is, but there are 4 clips. I managed to avoid mangling things too badly.

Once it was separated into 2 pieces, I cut a deep score to the right of the neutral plug. This allowed folding the plastic up, rather than cutting a window, to get access to the solder points.
