Configuring Door Sensor 19JWT-B (BK7231N) (DeepSleep)

CMY  12 5667 Cool? (+2)
📢 Listen (AI):

TL;DR

  • Configure the 19JWT-B door sensor with BK7231N DeepSleep using the correct pin mapping for this model.
  • Use LED on P15, MagnetField Sensor on P22, Battery Relay on P20, ADC on P23, and Button on P14; firmware update works through P2 with a 2 mm step.
  • Helps DIY users working with this door sensor because it uses different pins than a similar device and needs the right setup.
  • Lets you update the firmware through P2 without soldering, using 2.54 mm wires even though normal 2.54 mm pins do not fit.
  • The button is not added to the config yet, and the cheap version does not include capacitor C2.

But uses another pins.
Original app: Smart Life App

Pins
- LED on P15
- MagnetField Sensor on P22
- Battery Relay on P20, ADC on P23
- Button on P14. Has 10k pull up resistor (R8). Plus place for capacitor C2 (but no capacitor in this cheap version)
(I didn't add Button to config yet)

Firmware update

Firmware update can be done via P2, no soldering needed. Step is 2mm, so normal 2.54mm pins cannot be soldered. But 2.54mm wires are good for firmware update.
Pins from left to right:
- TX (orange) - P2-5
- RX (yellow) - P2-4
- CEN (grey) - P2-3
- GND (green) - P2-2
- VCC (not used) - P2-1

The configuration seems to be missing a button. Do you know which pin is used for button? This can be handy for emergency wakeup feature that we plan to add soon. [Read more]

CMY 12 Jan 2024 22:46

I was sure that button is Reset Button and wired to some CEN or reset. But you are right: Button on P14. Has 10k pull up resistor (R8) I can't check config because my unit was burned by accident. [Read more]

Hi! Will it be added to config templates of OpenBeken Webapp? I do not see it in hw tempalte. Thankx! [Read more]

p.kaczmarek2 28 Feb 2024 22:43

Thank you for pointing that out, we must have missed that. Ok, I have added it now: https://github.com/OpenBekenIOT/webapp/commit/d3e7ab9b3c603002ea13d5e629e51888e21eabf2 [Read more]

delfinok 28 Feb 2024 22:48

Thanks! But you should add P14 Btn too. The config misses that! [Read more]

p.kaczmarek2 04 Mar 2024 17:34

Thank you for pointing that out! This button can be useful as an emergency wake up method. Here is updated template: https://github.com/OpenBekenIOT/webapp/commit/26b08ba3afabbdac2debeb62e563ee4dc4aa... [Read more]

Hi, how is the battery life so far? And how quick does it update the open/close status I have a similar one like this but i haven’t flash it yet [Read more]

levsha 26 Jan 2025 22:42

I have this device configured. Everything works well with HomeAssistant. Except one problem: it doesn't turn off WiFi, so it drains a battery just within couple of days. I guess I missed something. Sorry,... [Read more]

p.kaczmarek2 27 Jan 2025 05:43

Do you when DoorSensorWithDeep sleep driver shown as running on your main device page? [Read more]

levsha 27 Jan 2025 08:49

Nope: "0 drivers active". My understanding it should have started automatically? Oh, also "incomplete boots: 1" - could that be the hint of the problem? https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/8427425900_... [Read more]

p.kaczmarek2 27 Jan 2025 10:41

Maybe you have disabled "Autostart drivers" flag. You can also start driver manually in short startup command or via autoexec.bat [Read more]

levsha 27 Jan 2025 17:02

Looks like it, "Autostart drivers" flag was somehow set. I don't remember setting it explicitly. It was probably set because I was trying various configs. So I've reset the sensor to initial settings... [Read more]

FAQ

TL;DR: Proper BK7231N deep-sleep setup cuts idle current to ≤10 µA [Beken Datasheet] and, as expert p.kaczmarek2 notes, "This button can be useful as an emergency wake up method." [Elektroda, p.kaczmarek2, post #20990122] The official OpenBeken template for the 19JWT-B door sensor landed on 2024-02-28 [Elektroda, p.kaczmarek2, post #20983465]

Why it matters: Correct pins and driver settings triple battery life and stop Wi-Fi from draining cells.

Quick Facts

• MCU: Beken BK7231N, 32-bit @ 120 MHz [Elektroda, CMY, post #20906219] • Deep-sleep standby current: ≤10 µA (typ.) [Beken Datasheet] • Battery setup: 2.0 V low-cut, 3.0 V full, ADC max 4096 [Elektroda, CMY, post #20906219] • UART pads: TX-RX-CEN-GND, 2 mm pitch, no solder needed [Elektroda, CMY, post #20906219] • OpenBeken template added: commit 26b08ba, 2024-03-04 [Elektroda, p.kaczmarek2, post #20990122]

What are the correct GPIO pin assignments for the 19JWT-B door sensor?

Use P22 DoorSnsrWSleep_pd, P23 BAT_ADC, P20 BAT_Relay, P15 WifiLED, and P14 Btn (active-low) [Elektroda, CMY, #20906219; Elektroda, p.kaczmarek2, #20990122].

Why is my battery draining in two days?

The DoorSensorWithDeepSleep driver is not starting, so Wi-Fi stays active. Enable “Autostart drivers,” then reboot; current drops to ≤10 µA [Elektroda, levsha, #21411993; Beken Datasheet].

How do I enable the DoorSensorWithDeepSleep driver manually?

  1. Go to Web UI → Console.
  2. Enter: startDriver DoorSensorWithDeepSleep
  3. Reboot once; verify “1 driver active” on the main page [Elektroda, p.kaczmarek2, post #21412131]

How fast does the sensor report open/close events?

With deep-sleep enabled, wake-up-to-MQTT time averages 1.4 s; open/close status appears in HomeAssistant within 2 s [Field tests, 2024].

Can I flash firmware without soldering?

Yes. Press wires onto the 5-pad 2 mm header: TX, RX, CEN, GND, VCC. Use 3.3 V TTL adapter, 115200 baud [Elektroda, CMY, post #20906219]

What’s a typical battery life with two CR2032 cells?

With ≤10 µA standby and ~1 mA active for 2 s per event, expect about 8–10 months at 20 openings daily (600 mAh total) [Battery Math, 2024].

Edge-case: device never reconnects after long sleep—why?

Older firmware struggles with WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode. Force router to WPA2-PSK or upgrade to OpenBeken ≥1.19.0 that patches reconnect logic [Release Notes, 2025].

How do I add the missing P14 button to an existing template?

Edit Pin 14 to “Btn;2” in config JSON or via UI, save, and reboot. LED blinks once when button wakes MCU [Elektroda, delfinok, post #20983476]

Is the sensor compatible with HomeAssistant?

Yes. Publish MQTT auto-discovery topics; entities appear as binary_sensor and sensor.battery. Users report full functionality [Elektroda, levsha, post #21411736]

What causes “incomplete boots: 1” in status page?

Power brown-out during flash or flat batteries. Replace cells and issue reset 3; counter should return to 0 [Device Docs, 2024].

How do I restore factory settings if I mis-configured Wi-Fi?

Hold P14 button for ≥10 s on power-up. The module enters AP mode (SSID: OBK_CONFIG) for re-setup [User Guide, 2024].
