Which replacement Wi-Fi module fits the Tuya S06 IR blaster?
The ESP-12F drops straight in; its VCC, GND, EN, RST and main GPIO pins match the CB3S footprint perfectly [Elektroda, jkwim, post #20876437]
Tuya IR Blaster S06 - CB3S to ESP-12F Conversion & Tasmota
TL;DR
- Tuya S06 IR Blaster with a CB3S module was converted to an ESP-12F and flashed with tasmota_ir.bin to capture and replay Panasonic fan IR codes.
- The mod relied on matching power, chip enable, and reset pins, plus added 10k pullup/pulldown resistors for Chip Enable and GPIO15.
- SetOption58 enabled RAW reception, producing an UNKNOWN 78-bit IR frame with Hash 0x94972B6F and RawData like +3525a+830-2700Bc... .
- The captured RAW string could be replayed directly with IRSend 0, and trailing data was trimmed by trial and error to find the minimum workable command.
- De-soldering damaged R3 and C5, so the reset button no longer works for now and the LED8 indicator still needs further hardware tweaking.

The IR Codes captured on Tasmota with new compact encoding scheme can be played back as it is through IRSend. See the updates below

I have a requirement to be able to capture/send IR RAW data to make my Panasonic Fan working.
Since IR RAW feature will take some time to appear in OpenBeken, I decided to go the hard way.
I had a S06 with CB3S Module.
When you inspect the CB3S Module alongside ESP-12F you could see a perfect match for critical PINs like Power, Chip Enable and Reset.
So I decided to replace the CB3S Module with ESP-12F Module.
I first flashed tasmora_ir.bin image on to ESP-12F (There are plenty of tutorials available on flashing ESP-12F module on the internet).
I did not do a very good job in de-soldering and soldering in the new module. It was the first time for me to use the heat gun and I accidentally blew off a tiny SMD resistor and a capacitor in the process. Hopefully I can do a better job next time
I blew up R3 & C5 [4] during the process. These are connected to RESET button on the device. For the moment the RESET button is trivial for me as I can always power cycle the device externally. Perhaps I will make some corrections later to the hardware.
Needed to solder 10k pullup/pulldown resistors as shown for Chip Enable [1] and GPIO15 [2] as shown.
One more issue remains. I could not get the LED8 [3] to light up. When I touch the R13 with a tweezer the LED gets lit up faintly. The output on GPIO4 where the LED is connected to toggles between 0V and 3.2V ish value correctly. Need to see whether R13 needs to be changed. Again this is a trivial matter for me at the moment.
Tasmota Setup:
Enabled Option58 for receiving RAW data.
Update:
The following conversion is not required. We can directly play back the above raw data string received
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The RAW data received can be converted in to a string which can be transmitted using IRSend command using the following tool:
https://tasmota.hadinger.fr/util
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Data received in following RAW Date message can be played back:
I did a further optimization by deleting parts of the string from the end, working backwards until I find a +/- symbol. When you press the remote you might press it too longer than required. So the extra data stream can be removed like this on trial & error basis. This way you can figure out the minimum length of data string to play back. See the example of Tasmota rule for the final outcome.
Defined 5 x Virtual Relays using unused GPIOs to be used as Buttons on WebGUI:
Changed the labels on the buttons:
Created Tasmota Rules for button toggles (here is an example for PWR and SPEED buttons:
Now the Fan can be controlled via Web URL or MQTT using POWER1, POWER2, POWER3, POWER4, POWER5 commands.
