Was gifted one of these recently. The Tuya app sucks. It fails to determine the location so the weather and clock functions of this device are broken for me. The home assistant integration for Tuya doesn't support this device (HA actually thought it was a toothbrush at first). The supported plant list is short and not publicly available. No lan-only control, aside from the custom animations page. The Type-C charge port doesn't actually support any of the PD standards, it's just using the port for standard 5V 2A delivery making it incompatible with some power sources.

That being said, it's kinda neat. Will report back on how well the plant's doing after a few weeks. Maybe community firmware can fix things up, but considering the target audience... not sure if/when that will happen.
