Using a Raspberry Pi

Generic Install Instructions

Before running Tuya-Convert, you need to disconnect the Pi from its Wi-Fi network, enabling the required vtrust-flash WiFi network to broadcast correctly. There are multiple ways of doing this:

Warning You will need to be connected via Ethernet or "USB Gadget mode" to continue use after disabling wifi.

Option 1. Via GUI: connect via VNC viewer, click the Wifi Icon, select your network and disconnect.

Option 2. Via SSH/Terminal: paste the command sudo killall wpa_supplicant

Option 3. Via SSH/Terminal:

                   - type sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

                   - Delete the wifi network block including network={}

                   - Close the file (ctrl x, y, enter)

                   - sudo reboot

You can now follow the instructions on the main page.

Pi Zero W

Setup USB Serial Gadget mode (unless you have keyboard/monitor)

Pi Zero W using only wifi

1. Connect to the Raspberry Pi Zero W using wifi and ssh
2. Follow the normal Raspberry Pi instructions but stop before running start_flash.sh
3. Run the command screen (this will prevent your session being terminated when it disconnects)
4. Run start_flash.sh
5. Your ssh session will be disconnected when the Pi disassociates from your wifi network and creates its own vtrust-flash AP
6. Connect to the vtrust-flash AP and SSH to 10.42.42.1
7. Run screen -r to identify the session id your original screen session
8. Resume that screen session by running screen -r -d [screen id]
9. Continue with normal Raspberry Pi instructions
