1. What hardware is inside the SYLVANIA SmartPlus A19CCECWF bulb?
It uses a WB8P module built around the BK7231T Wi-Fi SoC, driven by a BP2306 LED driver, BP5628C dimmer, and KP15051SPA power ICs [Elektroda, rronnander, post #20953853]
Teardown and Flashing Guide for SYLVANIA SmartPlus A19CCECWF RGBCT Bulb
TL;DR
- The guide examines a SYLVANIA SmartPlus A19CCECWF RGBCT bulb and its hidden Tuya/Sylvania identifiers, including Model A19CCECWF and product_id 1ijupffokexbz0cl.
- A sacrificed bulb was opened, the PCB and LED package were inspected, and Cloudcutter was used to flash the device.
- The bulb carries SKU 75663 for the 1-pack and SKU 75674 for the 4-pack, and the module is labeled WB8P BK7231T.
- Flashing succeeded, but the device configuration reports WB3S even though the module is WB8P, leaving RGBCT tuning for another bulb.
Generated by the language model.
I have a bunch of these and decided to sacrifice one bulb so I could use cloudcutter on the others if it all works out. I was able to successfully flash the bulb using the cloudcutter method.
Model name stamped on the base:
The model name is a bit obfuscated with this one:
Model: A19CCECWF (Printed on the base of the bulb itself, but this is nowhere to be found online or on LEDVANCE/SYLVANIA's website anywhere)
SKU: 75663 (1-pack)
SKU: 75674 (4-pack)
product_id: 1ijupffokexbz0cl (Tuya / Sylvania product identifier found with [tuya-uncover](https://github.com/blakadder/tuya-uncover))
Like all smart bulbs, they basically come apart the same way:
LED close up:
Board close up 1:
Board close up 2 (thought I needed to get the capacitors out of the way to read the flash, but not needed):
WB8P BK7231T:
Original firmware:
The only thing odd is the device configuration states it is a WB3S, however, the module is a WB8P. Maybe that's actually "normal"?
I'll flash another fully functional bulb soon to try and see if I can get it dialed in with all of the RGBCT settings.

Gotten a few of these, how did you get the cloudcutter to work? Can't seem to get these bulbs into slow-flashing AP mode. Just quick flashing color cycling. [Read more]

I believe the magic number is 6 cycles. This is technically 6.5/7 cycles if you count the first power on event as a cycle. When flashing I was easily able to get each bulb into AP mode by powering the... [Read more]
