I managed to figure out the pinout of the non-standard esp8266 module in a EcoPlug switch from home depot. The plugs only worked with the EcoPlugs app by default. In order to use them with my home automation system I ended up tearing it open and reflashing my own firmware. Good thing too; packet captures show this thing sends your SSID and PW to an external server in plaintext!

My how-to is here:

The pinout and link to the software are available here:
