Purchased a Gosund SW1 switch a couple of days ago. Priced right on Amazon $16.99 USD.
I will be using this switch for the garage lighting. It will be triggered by two door sensors - IE: garage door and garage to house door.
Last year installed LED bright lighting in the garage for daylight look. This garage has a 12 foot ceiling height which is a bit difficult to work in.
Going to update this switch to Tasmota / Espurna firmware using Tuya-Convert 2.
There are two Tasmota Templates mentioned over here ==>
hxxps://templates.blakadder.com/gosund_SW1.html
This switch would be using base Tasmota Bin with the template mentioned above.
The alternative is to utilize Espurna firmware which is here ====>
hxxps://github.com/xoseperez/espurna/releases/download/1.14.1/espurna-1.14.1-gosund-ws1.bin
Here is a picture of the pre-installation hard ware configuration. I use an old computer power cable cut and connected to the switch.
Updating firmware using terminal window in Ubuntu 18.04 on my Lenova Laptop.
Here is a copy and paste of the firmware upgrade. NOTE: you should see the following if your firmware OTA is working

IMPORTANT
1. Connect any other device (a smartphone or something) to the WIFI vtrust-flash
This step is IMPORTANT otherwise the smartconfig may not work!
2. Put your IoT device in autoconfig/smartconfig/pairing mode (LED will blink fast). This is usually done by pressing and holding the primary button of the device
Make sure nothing else is plugged into your IoT device while attempting to flash.
3. Press ENTER to continue

You can also provide your own image by placing it in the /files directory
Please ensure the firmware fits the device and includes the bootloader
MAXIMUM SIZE IS 512KB
Available options:
0) return to stock
1) flash espurna.bin
2) flash tasmota.bin
q) quit; do nothing
Please select 0-2: 1
Are you sure you want to flash espurna.bin? This is the point of no return [y/N] y
Attempting to flash espurna.bin, this may take a few seconds...
