Benexmart Irrigation Timer - Tasmota conversion

Finding a cost effective Tuya water timer that can be converted, has been a bit of a hit and miss.

Earlier this year I found this Water Timer. Price was about $60 AUD from AliExpress. The Timer itself uses the TYWE1S module and consists of a single button and relay to control the valve.

Manufacture: Benexmart
Model: FJSJKZQ-TY-W-XV-JS (PCB Markings)

I have been running the timer via the regular Tuya integration with Home Assistant, but had the odd event when it failed to turn off. 

The original vendor listing isn't active, but I found these links.

As with recent devices, this was shipped with the newer Tuya firmware that doesn't work with tuya-convert, and needs to be flashed directly via serial.

Important note: Make sure your flasher is set to 3.3v

Opening

Opening the device takes a little patience. Case is glued. I started at the bottom (vents) and pried around, carefully breaking the glue. Once open you can access the 4 screws holding the front plate on. These have a small amount of silicon applied, but easily removed.

Tasmota config

There wasn't an existing Template for this device, but it was simple enough to create.

Device has LED (red), Button and relay. The Green led is linked to the valve state and not controllable independantly.
