Notes

I used a RPi 4 and had a issue with Git Clone not working with Raspbian Buster Lite so I used Raspbian Buster Full

You use tuya-covert on a Rpi to flash the Tasmota - The video is out of date and just after you start the tuya server (~9:00 nins) there is a default tasmota image included so no need to WinSCP copy image 

Connect to Tasmota AP as usual (192.168.4.1) enter WiFi details and restart

Once you power on up after flashing issue reset 5 in console to properly restart and clear out old firmware
