[BK7231T/WB2S] Feit Smart Plug from Costco BPPLUG/WIFI/3
I was finally able to successfully flash this smart plug from Costco. Purchased as a 3-pack, there are several variants out there, but I wanted to share with the world the success I now had.
Feit Smart Plug from Costco BPPLUG/WIFI/3
Flashed OpenBK7231T/OpenBeken release 1.15.307 using OTA via Tuya-Cloudcutter.
My cloudcutter host is a Raspberry Pi 3b+ and after pulling recent updates from the cloudcutter repo, it now has a pair of device profiles under Feit for two variants of this smart plug. Mine has the WB2S module which is BK7231T, but there is another profile for the N variant. These took a while to get a working profile because they exhibited an odd combination of Tuya firmware and developer kit versions.
Ok, so using the updated profile for my plug variant, I was able to exploit OTA, install 1.15.307, and configure for my network. I am using HomeBridge + MQTT to expose this to Apple HomeKit. I used the following module cornfugraiton to make the plug work (it has a single momentary switch, LED):
P10 (RXD1)=LED_n,0
P24 (PWM4)=Rel,0
P26 (PWM5)=Btn,0,0
Once configured for my Wifi, MQTT setup for my broker, and using the above module config, the plug works great, relay switches appropriately (outlet on and off) and the LED turns on when the relay does!
Not sure why LED_n works--my understanding was that _n is for reverse logic. . . Maybe LED is sufficient on P10? The LED should lit (blue) when the switch/relay is enabled (power to the outlet) which it is.
Comments
Hello, thanks, LED_n is an inversed LEN. Depending on the connections on the board, LED_n will light up when Relay is on or when it's off. Just choose LED_n or LED depending on expected behaviour. You... [Read more]
Thanks on the WiFi LED. That is way more useful. As for the FCC docs, the photos show an ESP module which we know is wrong, so they are no longer accurate. I find it odd and a little sneaky that they... [Read more]
We also have a feature request for a 'generic state LED', which is a special LED that blinks if WiFI error occurs (no connection or safe mode enabled) and otherwise reflects relay state (if wifi is OK).... [Read more]
The blinking LED seems like a good feature. As for other module swaps, yes. Feit also made RGBWW bulbs sold at Costco. These initially had ESP modules a few years ago but when I bought them, they had... [Read more]
Hello! Edit: Since posting this, I submitted the information to the Tuya Cloudcutter project, and they added a profile for it - so hopefully you will see this device in CloudCutter if you clone the... [Read more]
Sorry I don’t recall. I think I left comments on the cloudcutter git repo about it tho. Look at closed issues for my same login name caver01. [Read more]
If you are flashing OpenBeken by OTA hack, please post a comment in related teardown article so future users know which profile to use. Teardowns list: https://openbekeniot.github.io/webapp/devicesLi... [Read more]
I have just successfully flashed one of these BPPLUG/SMART/3 being sold in 3 packs at Costco. They were running Tuya firmware 1.1.7. They were flashed without problem using the SYW PLUGWIFIG2P Smart Plug... [Read more]
Seems there are several versions of these circulating. Very cool that the CloudCutter project can quickly incorporate new versions too. [Read more]
Thank you @zhp , Costco ART. 1528978 BPPLUG/SMART/3 3-Pack Smart Plugs template has been added to the list. Are there any other devices that you guys know that can be also added? Thanks! [Read more]
I ran across another version of this plug purchased from Amazon on 1/31/2024. . It has FCCID: SYW-PLUGWIFIG2N. The model is PLUG/WIFI (N). It uses the Tuya CBU WiFi module that has Beken 7231n chip on... [Read more]
I've used the feit-syw-plugwifig2-smart-plug-v1.1.2.json profile in cloudcutter as 1.1.2 was the FW version on my Costco Feit BPPLUG/WIFI/3 plugs. Flashing ESPHome-Kickstart for the bk7231t went well.... [Read more]
