Thanks for the detailed information. Plan B could be to extend Tasmota with your own features and benefit from the solid OTA features of Tasmota ;) |

https://github.com/tasmota/ESP8266MinimalHTTPUpdater/ could be used to OTA to something non-Tasmota once, but then your project would need solid OTA support if you'd like to be able to update it. |

The device is not bricked when firmware is not starting. Firmware can directly programmed to the flash chip with a flash programmer. For example with a cheap ch341 flash chip programmer. |

Hi, I just bought a 4-pack of Nous A1T with pre-installed Tasmota with ESP8266.
I was planning to write my own firmware for a side project and found some older pictures here where it looked like the A1T are easily dis-assembled and had easy to access pads for Programming.
sadly after opening it up, the situation I found is the opposite. Thus I wanted to put the information out there
1.) There is a hidden screw with a non-standard head
2.) The antenna is not detachable and is glued in
3.) The PCB and electronics are press-fitted into insert-style hole on the bottom. once pressed out, they get looser
4.) And worst of all: there are no programming/debugging pins on the PCB. so when firmware upload fails, it's bricked. no serial programming possible
sorry for the bad pictures. i already put it all together after noticing how bad they are and I'm not taking it apart again
