Flashing the dead Gosund socket

I did succeed getting the last socket running which was unreachable before as mentioned in my last blog article. 🥳

The socket wasn't reachable during flash (see console output below), but its MAC address was present when inspecting the smarthack-wifi.log in scripts-folder.

Could not reach the device!

All I had to do was start pining the device with ping 10.42.42.42, removing the socket from my wall plug and then putting it back in. The ping command should reach the device again and generate output. After doing this I was able to flash the socket successfully with Tasmota.

Tyua-convert issue Socket won't flash #613 on GitHub helped my solving this problem.
