Unable to flash LSC SmartConnect LED Strip
See original GitHub issueHey everyone,
Last week I’ve bought a LSC SmartConnect led strip at Action (LSC, 970750), which uses the Tuya platform. I want to flash it so it can be used with HomeAssistant via MQTT instead of relying on the native Chinese platform ofcourse.
The device can be placed into pairing/flashing mode by quicky plugging and unplugging the powercable three times in succession, afterwards the led strip will flash rapidly.
The AP vtrust-flash is online and I can connect to it with a smartphone, and the device is in flashing mode. It looks like SmartConfig is succesfully flashed but the proces is stuck on “Waiting for the upgraded device to appear”:
====================================================== Starting pairing procedure in screen RTNETLINK answers: File exists ~/tuya-convert Waiting for the upgraded device to appear If this does not work have a look at the '*.log'-files in the 'scripts' subfolder!
I’ve already tried to use another branch which solved the flashing problem for another user (can’t come up with the name anymore) and I’ve double checked the compatibility of the device. Can anyone care to take a look at the logs and help me out? Many thanks in advance.

I missed that. I’ve killed the proces responsible for hogging port 80 and tried again, but to no avail. I’ve also added ports 80,42,1883 and 8883 to my firewall since I just remembed I have ufw installed but after trying for a while, I still can’t get the led strip to connect.
Any other ideas? Seems more people are having this issue.
I’m running Windows 10 on my main machine, debian 10 as vm host. For the WiFi hotspot I’m using this one here that is being detected as soon as I plug it in. Vmware asks me If I want to mount it to the VM and of course I click yes.
Don’t forget to edit your wifi card in the config of tuya-convert (can be retrieved by ip -a). And I also have noticed if You are trying things out multiple times it is possible that not every process from tuya-convert is being stopped. So you might need to kill them by hand.
