Walkthrough
To perform this walk through I installed Raspbian 9 (stretch) using NOOBS v3.0.0.
The only change made to the install was enabling ssh so I could access the Pi remotely.

Installing hostapd
which is the only non standard package that needs to be installed. Everything else should come with the basic Raspbian installation.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo sed -i '3idenyinterfaces wlan0' /etc/dhcpcd.conf
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ head -3 /etc/dhcpcd.conf
# A sample configuration for dhcpcd.
# See dhcpcd.conf(5) for details.
denyinterfaces wlan0
This was just a fancy way of adding denyinterfaces wlan0
to the dhcpcd.conf. Use your favourite editor if you wish.
The purpose of the modification is to stop wpa_supplicant
from handling the wlan0
interface. If it isn't stopped then it will prevent the script from running correctly.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ps -fu root | grep wpa_supplicant
root 370 1 0 20:46 ? 00:00:00 wpa_supplicant -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -Dnl80211,wext
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl restart dhcpcd
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ps -fu root | grep wpa_supplicant
The dhcpcd
service needed to be restarted so that the changes made to dhcpcd.conf
take effect.
If wpa_supplicant
is still running then try a reboot and if that doesn't work try killing the process.

Without the -ip
flag the script will look for devices that never completed the install and attempt to continue.
If you leave out the -s flag then if the install succeeds you will have to connect to the device yourself to enter the SSID and password for your home network.

The script only loads the two firmware images if it can not find them so if you run the script twice then the download will be skipped the second time.
Getting interface into stable state
RTNETLINK answers: Cannot assign requested address
RTNETLINK answers: Cannot assign requested address
Done
This is just an attempt to get the WiFi interface into a consistent state before attempting to use it. Errors are expected here.
Using WiFi device wlan0 for Access Point
This lets you know what WiFi device it is going to use. It should automatically detect the WiFi devices on your computer and picks one. You should ensure that the named device is the same one that was added to the dhcpcd.conf
file previously.
Creating Access Point config file hostapd.conf
The hostapd.conf
file is only created once. This means that if you experience problems with hostapd
you can modify the file and try again. As an example, the default configuration specifies WPA2 but some people have experienced problems with this so you can remove the wpa=2
and wpa_passphrase=un49fqxc
lines from the hostapd.conf
file and the access pint it creates will be open.
Starting Access Point with SSID ZAGDU-789
Giving Access Point IP address 10.44.57.1, pid is 1563
The access point has started
Redirecting device 192.168.31.45 to use Access Point ZAGDU-789
**** Redirect appears successful
This is an attempt to get your device to use the newly created access point instead of your home network. Errors often occur here and a second attempt will be made later.
If you have any programs or applications running that access the device in any way then you should stop them.
If the error persists then try rebooting the device just before running the script.
DHCP Discover 88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd 10.44.57.222
DHCP Request 88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd 10.44.57.222
This is the script's built in DHCP server handing out an IP address. It is a good sign and is probably your device, but could also be because something else on your network just happened to ask for an address at this time.
**** New device detected. ID: 06823735bcddc20dec14 IP:10.44.57.222
This is good news. Note that the IP address is the same as the one handed out by the DHCP server.
This means that the device is now using the script's ZAGDU-789 access point. If you suspected that your device had turned into a brick then this demonstrates that it is still in working order.
**** New device looks to be part way through upgrading
**** Forcing it to retry the upgrade
Redirecting device 10.44.57.222 to use Access Point ZAGDU-789
**** Redirect appears successful
This is just in case this is a 2nd or 3rd run of the script. This should force the device to re-connect and re-check for upgrades.

Multiple DHCP and DNS queries are expected and show the device is working.

The device needs to able to talk to the Tuya's messaging server so the script proxies the connections to it.

{"result":true,"t":1547586191,"e":false,"success":true}
An example of a request and response. Note the "e":false
and "success":true
indicates that Tuya thinks that everything is okay. if e
is ever true
or success
is ever false
then it is unlikely the upgrade will proceed. You may have to factory reset and re-provision via the "SmartLife" app before trying again.

This is the important one. if you never see the /gw.json?a=tuya.device.upgrade.silent.get

to the command line.

The first updatestatus
request is your device telling Tuya "I'm upgrading". If you see a second updatestatus
immediately after the first it is usually the device telling "Tuya" it isn't upgrading due to some problem.

The WiFi interface is now getting set up for the final stages.
Setting up wifi scan
A WiFi access point scanner is set up to look for devices in the final stages. You can jump straight to this point by using the -b 2
flag
Setting up listener for FinalStage
Devices that have had the inital firmware installed try to fetch the next firmware from a web server on port 8080 so the script sets its own one up on that port.
***** FinalStage Detected ******
***** Connected to FinalStage ******
The scanner set up previously detect a device with an access point name of "FinalStage" so the WiFi card connected to it.
***** Receiving FinalStage Request ****
REQ: Client closed connection while receiving request:
This can happen. The device is so impatient that if it doesn't get an instant response it abandons the request and tries again.

***** Tasmota Firmware sent to device ******
Your device should now have the Sonoff Tasmota firmware installed.
You may occasionally see more FinalStage
mesages as the WiFi scanner might have them cached them, but it isn't anything to be concerned about.
