Feit Electric - Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug - BK7231
Hey all -
First post here, so hopefully I cover all the bases. First time trying OpenBeken, so thought I'd share my experience and add to the list of known working devices.
Given how well this worked, I might try my hand at some other Feit devices I've got laying around (currently on LocalTuya). I've got a penchant for them because they've been pretty reliable, and more importantly cheap and widely available (including at Costco - bulk prices - for those of us in the US).
Cheers!
Matt
Device name: Feit Electric Wi-Fi Smart Outdoor Plug
SKU: PLUG/WIFI/WP
Manufacturer URL: https://www.feit.com/product/outdoor-smart-wifi-dual-outlet-wall-plug-alexa-google-assistant/
Description: Outdoor two-outlet smart plug
Chip: BK7231-TQN32
Standalone, no Tuya module
Summary:
Flashed using: hid_download_py; BK_Writer 1.60 didn't work for me for writing, but appeared to work for the read.
Powered 3.3V via the board, soldered directly to the RX1/TX1 & GND pads on the back of the board. There were through holes for those on the board, but not sure if they work. By the end, the issue was BK_Writer not working - maybe those might work if I tried it again.
Using the config from "Enbrighten Wifi Switch" which appears to be working perfectly (LED p7; Relay p24; Button p26)
Teardown:

Add a commentThank you for the presentations! I wonder if in Europe they produce these splitters for a European plug and 230V? [Read more]
Thanks for the teardown. I just wonder how well this device can work outdoors, does the case provide enough insulation for moisture? Some time ago I did a teardown of a similar product - lGarden Tuya... [Read more]

When you flashed it, what did the lights on your plug do? I've got almost the identical device, except with both LEDs on it being blue instead of one red. Mine appears to flash successfully via BKwriter... [Read more]
Huh, this is new. I didn't expect such an issue @mb78offroad , but I am glad that you have it resolved. Anyway, regarding the lights - remember, some LEDs might be connected to relay pins and work along... [Read more]
Well I'll be darned, I ended up having to do that and just came to check to find that was exactly what I ended up going through just now. ^_^ Weird thing that was throwing me off was that the exterior... [Read more]
