CLOUDY BAY 6inch Smart Wifi LED Recessed Lights, RGBCW
I purchased these lights on Amazon. Teardown is simple, remove the 6 screws on the back of the downlight. The board is inside a white heat shrink. Cut along the edge with a razor so that you can simple slide the heat shrink back over the board after you're done.
I removed the WB3S module with a heat gun and stuck it in a DORHEA ESP8266 Code Burner to flash it.
Pin configuration:
P6: PWM/5
P8: PWM/4
P9: PWM/1
P24: PWM/2
P26: PWM/3
After configuring the device and prompting the home assistant discovery, home assistant picked up the device and allowed me to control everything without any further configuration.
The pictures here are of a light that had a catastrophic failure (I quickly assembled it for pictures here). I accidently shorted out a handful of pins on the back on a piece of metal, whoops.
Edit: attached stock firmware.

Hi my friend, maybe oyu can provide a stock firmware dump from these device. And then could cloudcutter work on it. [Read more]
Indeed, a factory flash backup can always be useful. That's why our new flash tool (still in Alpha stage) suggests to do automatic backup and then flash: https://github.com/openshwprojects/BK7231GUIFlashTool ... [Read more]

I don't mean the dump. I mean he should check the GitHub of Cloudcutter to flash it OTA and not to desolder all the spots. But the dump is necessary for the flash, when this firmware wasn't added by n... [Read more]

It is very hard to determine what is going on with your lights. If you are experiencing issue related to the range of the WiFI, then I am not sure if we can help much, because we just replace the firmware... [Read more]
Hi, Thanks for replying. Definitely it is not a range of the wifi :) I literally tried to setup the light two feet away from the Access point (U6-LR) :) and the rest of the lights are in a line of sight... [Read more]
