Getting it up and running

This device needs very likely to be flashed manually. Tuya-convert didn’t worked for me. I have powered the device with a mobile charger during the flashing procedure, as the used serial cable sets to logic level based on the input voltage. Which is 3.3V in this case.

Serial	ESP
RX	TX
TX	RX
RTS	RESET
3.3V	3.3V
GND	GND
	GPIO0 (GND)

Flashing

# Create a backup of the original firmware
esptool.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 460800 read_flash 0x00000 0x100000 avotta_s06_original_firmware.bin
# Erase the flash
esptool.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flash
# Upload the esphome firmware
esptool.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 write_flash -fs 1MB 0x0 ir_remote.bin

Hardware Hack

If you want to wake the device via the reset button on the bottom from deep sleep. You need to solder a peace of wire between the GPIO13 and the RESET pin of the ESP8266 MCU.
