Hello, I will try to help you, can you please provide some more information what kind of IC is used for this device? Your teardown lacks this crucial information currently. Is it some kind of WS2812b device?
Is device able to display multiple colors at the same time (on multiple LEDs, of course)?

hey, thanks for your replythe ic is the BK7231N or what do you need?i made a picture of the wifi/control board during flash on the back are no more components, just some breakout solder pointsas far as i understood this light strip with only one single color (but that you can choose) for allbut, as i never tried, i can't really telli don't think it's a ws2812* device as communication is only via 6v and/or -6vthere are only two connector pins to the strip

I found this, it is ESP version, but the rest might be the same

gi7mo1 · Answer

yes, that was the reason why I brought itbut I was unable to flash Tasmota, so I dig deeperand that was the result here

p.kaczmarek2 · Answer

This is indeed a useful information. I will look into that tomorrow in detail. Are you saying that this device used to be based on ESP8266 (85?), and now is using Beken?

leoshusar · Answer

It looks like. But it would be nothing new, there are many templates for Tasmota which say this device is now being shipped with Beken MCU.

So you think it's fair to say that there is a trend of migration from ESP to BK?

Well, don't worry, I got it covered. From what I've seen, it indeed requires a custom driver. I will try to port that one soon. Please wait, let's hope, a day or so... but I am not sure right now how hard can it be.

I would say so. Copy and paste this to Google: Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboardNew Tuya devices have replaced their Wi-Fi module with one incompatible with Tasmota site:templates.blakadder.com and it will show around 1020 results (there might be some duplicates).
