Mainland China IoT Testing Assistant

I need a dependable partner based in mainland China to act as my hands-on extension for a smart-home IoT development effort. Your primary role will be testing devices on site and keeping everything running so I can flash firmware, gather logs, and iterate remotely.

Scope of work
• Purchase two to three development kits covering smart plugs, smart light switches, plus one hub or voice-control gateway from local channels (JD, Taobao, or factory reps).
• Keep each unit powered, connected to a PC (USB/UART) and stable on Wi-Fi so I can access them through remote desktop or SSH during daytime hours (your local time).
• When requested, reboot devices, swap cables, or check indicator LEDs to confirm whether they power on, pair, and stay online.
• Handle occasional coordination with suppliers—simple calls or chats—to secure replacement units or extra modules if something arrives faulty.

What I will provide
• Funds for every hardware purchase up front.
• Flashing scripts, test firmware, and clear step-by-step instructions.
• A communication channel (WeChat + email) for quick questions so we keep the turnaround tight.

Acceptance criteria
1. Devices arrive, power up, and appear on the local network.
2. Remote access is stable for a full test cycle (minimum 24 h uptime).
3. Quick video or photo confirmation of packaging condition on arrival.

If you are organised, responsive, and have a reliable broadband connection, this will be an ongoing collaboration as we move past dev kits toward full production samples.
