Govee H6052 to ESPHome
Important notes:
- To enter flash/download mode, connect TX2 to GND while plugging in USB-UART adapter, release once plugged in.
- Board type is `generic-rtl8710bn-2mb-468k`
- Limited space means removing API encryption is needed for default ESPHome config to work (probably more optimization to be done there)
- Use Itchiptool to backup firmware before doing anything.
- Download firmware from ESPHome dashboard "manual" install option and use Itchiptool to upload to board (couldn't get ESPHome to connect)

🤷🏼‍♂️ You're pretty much on your own, but: I did learn that the MCU that the above process flashes handles only the API, but doesn't directly control the LEDs-- it seems there is another MCU that controls the effects.

Make sure you dump/backup the stock firmware before you flash anything.
