Hi, thanks for posting this. Can Cloudcutter work with the T chip as well or only if its based on bk7231N?

Hi, thanks for posting this. Can Cloudcutter work with the T chip as well or only if its based on bk7231N?

Hi, I have been "cut" both variations. The older pach of WIFIPO120FWT just after they change chip to ESP-based was T and the newer ones are with N-chip. I think that it is safe to use N-variant first and if the cutting did not go well, then try T-variant.

If you are unsure, the WIFIPO120FWT is rather easy to open without breaking anything. There's those triangle screws and two plastic "fingers" at the top and bottom of the case. Just look what variant it is. Put back on one piece and flash. My findings about the version is based difference of the stickers. That µ in N-variant.

I think that Tuya was fixing that flaw in the code that make cutting possible, but not sure is there those Nedis-devices on the market yet.

Hi, thank you for responding... and so fast.

I have been cutting a few 130fwt in the past, but this wont even let Cloudcutter connect to the accesspoint on the device for some reason.
This is quite a old device, maybe a couple years old. I think you are right.. I think I have to just open it and find out what chip its actually using.

Maybe its a ESP8266, I saw someone said that is used in the older ones. Havent looked into how to reflash that yet if thats the case.

I have one 130FWT with WB2S (BK7231T) and i originally rip this open to flash it with OpenBeken. It was really annoying process because cover was clued. I did not try any heat gun on it. Just sharp X-Acto blade hobby knife.

The programming went using traditional serial-connection .

I think that esphome firmware can be uploaded serial too. Did not tested myself..

Screws wasnt too bad, but the clips was really holding it together. Tried to be as careful as I could, broke one clip, but doesnt matter as the screws will hold it nicely together. They dont want us to open them, thats for sure.

Anyways this is how the chip looks like:

Ooh, you got lucky! That TYWE3S is ESP8266 based. You can Flash it with Tasmota. Some soldering work with Rx, Tx, Gnd and 3V3 and enable to that I00 pin. You can flash it with Tasmotizer https://github.com/tasmota/tasmotizer Use USB to Serial converter for the job.

Or of course use ESPHome, but the yaml here need to be modified. I have several of these TYWE3S plugs in use. with Tasmota.

Yes, at least easy access to the soldering points. I am a bit rusty on this, been a few months. I would like to flash it to use with ESPHome as I have a few devices in there from before and use Home Assistant.

I forgot what the 100 pin does, but will read up a bit on this. I have a USB to serial programmer so hopefully that will work without taking off some capacitors.

This is a picture of the fwt130 I did late last year:

I actually messed up the housing for it on my first one (we have 4 of them). I fixed it by making a custom case for it and it works fine, but I learned that you can solder off those big solder points you see in the next picture to take it all apart:

I am posting the pictures since there seem to be several versions of it, but I am not sure about that.

Yeah, I have one of 130FWT too, Tuya has good documents about the chips they used https://developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/wb-series-module?id=Kaiuyh0h7g3f2

Some flashing instructions can be found in https://www.elektroda.com/ forums. Search Beken 7231. Firmware git https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App

Hi again, sorry to bother you. Do you normally solder the chip off the board?
I cant seem to provide enough power too the board. I tried first with 3.3 from the usb cable and the diode on the board blink and the board turns off again. Today I tried with a PC PSU and take 3.3v from the sata cable, but it still does the same.
I dont think there should be any shorts or other things here, maybe best to solder out the whole chip from the board?

Hi, this doesn't really bother me :) I really forgot to tell you that when flashing the device for the first time, the easiest thing is to remove the 0R resistor R33 during the flashing. It is connected to P10 pin which is RX. This work with Beken-based chips.

ESP-ones can be flashed without any modifications. Just connect that I00 pin to ground using example push button for a while when start flashing. I was feeding 3V3 from usb-serial adapter during the process.

Thanks for the tips, you was right... I didnt need external power.

Main issue I had was that data connection needs to be connected like this:

rx<--->tx
tx<--->rx

connect GPIO 0 to Ground

put the USB of programmer into PC and keep GPIO 0 connected to ground for 5-6 seconds while chip boots up and disconnect it.

Now its programmable from ESPHome.

I can access the device now in the browser, awesome!

Next step is to make the plug actually do something.. he he

I guess cant just copy your code, I assume the pinout is different.. but I havent had time to look into that yet.

This is what I got so far:

Hi,

I can get pin config from Tasmotized device tomorrow for you :)

Pin Config for Tasmota device.

Thank you..
I got everything working now. I managed to calibrate the HLW8012 Power Sensor as well, but I used guide on the ESPHome site for that.
Its a bit different from how you did it in your code here, I am not sure if its any right or wrong.

I used another powerplug and a 1000w heater when adjusting it, and they seem to show pretty much the same values now.

Here is my entire code now, could you see if I messed up something.

I dont see anything in Home Assistant from it either.
