DETA Grid Connect Smart Switch (Single / Double / Triple / Quad)

Device Type: switch
Electrical Standard: au
Board: esp8266

General Notes

The DETA Smart Single Switch (6911HA) and Smart Double Switch (6912HA) are made by Arlec as part of the Grid Connect ecosystem, and are sold at Bunnings in Australia and New Zealand. Older models can be flashed without disassembly or soldering using tuya-convert however recently purchased evices may require serial flashing.

Triple 6903HA and Quad 6904HA The pin outs on the 3 & 4 gang switches are different to the 1 and 2 gang switches.

Incompatible Wifi Modules

Deta/Bunnings now ship the Single, Double and Triple (tbc on Quad) with WB3S chips, which are not compatible with ESPHome/Tuya/Tasmota/etc. Packaging states a "Series 2" model number, eg "6911HA - Series 2". It is still possible to convert these switches to ESPHome by replacing the WB3S chip with a ESP-12E or ESP-12F chip and adding a 10k pull-down resister on GPIO15, as WB3S does not require it, and it is omitted from the board in some cases.

GPIO Pinout

Pin	Function
GPIO4	Status LED (inverted)
GPIO12	Button, Bottom
GPIO13	Relay, Top (includes LED)
GPIO14	Relay, Bottom (includes LED)
GPIO16	Button, Top

Note that each relay shares a pin with its associated LED; it's not possible to turn either relay on/off independently of its button LED. The top/bottom designation here assumes that it is installed vertically, with the status LED (group of 6 dots) on the right-hand side.

Suggested modification

Is is possible to gain control of button LEDs by removing diode(s) D7 / D5 / D9 (3 gang, pcb7395B Rev0.1) which decouples the LED(s) from the relay output(s). You would then solder a small wire from the cathode (-) side of the diode pad to a spare GPIO pin to gain control of the button LED individually. See this image for an example (blue wires) from this forum post

Getting it up and running

Tuya Convert

These switches are Tuya devices, so if you don't want to open them up to flash directly, you can attempt to use tuya-convert to initially get ESPHome onto them however recently purchased devices are no longer Tuya-Convert compatible. There's useful guide to disassemble and serial flash these switches here. After that, you can use ESPHome's OTA functionality to make any further changes.

Put the switch into "smartconfig" / "autoconfig" / pairing mode by holding any button for about 5 seconds.
The status LED (to the side of the button(s)) blinks rapidly to confirm that it has entered pairing mode.
