    Purchased a set of Novostella Blaze Floodlights a couple of years ago from Amazon. One of my floods, the blue color, stopped working, which Novostella warrantied replaced, so I decided to see what was under the glass.

    Chip Info:
    Uses a WB3S-IPEX which uses the BK7231T RF Chip.

    Flashing
    Was able to OTA Flash using Tuya Cloud Cutter and OpenBK7231T_UG_X.XX.XX.bin firmware.

    Setup OpenBeken
    Everything on the board was labeled nicely, so not too much trial and error to figure out the right settings.

    Configure Module:
    PinSettingValue
    P6 (PWM0)PWM1
    P24 (PWM4)PWM0
    P26 (PWM5)PWM2

    Hello, thank you, which cloudcutter profile did you use?
    Don't forget that with new versions you can just import cloudcutter profile to get GPIO settings automatically:

    Added after 31 [seconds]:

    It's also nice to see that Tuya used here a WB3S-IPEX module, which features an external antenna connection

    I just used the Tuya Generic profile. Not sure if the GPIO pins line up, since I was focused on getting OpenBeken set up to use with DDP and WLED, which is all working.
