# Mirabella Genio Bulb
Mirabella have released a few smart bulbs.
Here is a bit of a guide on how to open them up and then flash with Tasmota.
I am no expert at this but so far it has worked for me.
_Note: modifying these bulbs is dangerous if you do not understand what you are doing, please do so at your own risk!_

## Disassembling bulb
![B22](https://i.ibb.co/HT7mc8B/B22-0-SM.jpg)
The 2 main outer parts of the bulb are stuck together with high temp silicone or something similar.
Squeeze the outer of the bulb (the bit that looks like glass) as near to the join as possible, you can use a tool like a spudger or something if that helps to break the seal, being careful not to damage any internal parts or cut yourself!
Once the outer (fake glass) is removed you will see this:

Carefully cut / scrape away as much of the sealent on the outer edge of the round circut board then using some needle nose pliers and your spudger pry the round board out.

If you are really good at soldering and have a fine tip on your iron you could possibly skip this step and jump straight to the next one.
### B22
Stand the bulb up and de-solder the 2 pads, and straighten the wires to remove the board.

### E27
Using a sharp strong blade carefully pry out the small terminal on the end of the bulb then straighten the wire in side

This will allow you to pull the board out a little and get enough angle on it to make soldering easier.
You should now have these parts (E27 bulb will be still partly assembled):

(with wires added)
## Connect FTDI
Connect your FTDI up to these pins:

Flash with your preferred method [I use this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDnNI5wkNNY)
(remember to connect GPIO0 to GND when plugging in your FTDI this will force the ESP into firmware write mode, you may need to try it a couple of times.
Once flashed I use termite (or you could use any serial command tool) to send my settings:
_Note: Change these to match your environment_
`Backlog SSID1 YOUR_SSID_NAME; Password1 YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD; MqttHost MQTT_INTERNAL_IP_ADDRESS; MqttUser MQTT_USER_NAME; MqttPassword MQTT_PASSWORD; module 38;topic bulb1; FriendlyName Bulb1`
Or set manually from the web interface:

(reassemble procedure is the reverse of the disassemble procedure!)
