  • Hello everyone,

    First of all thanks to the community.

    I flashed a relay module (dry contact) that uses a CB3S chip

    Brand : Mhcozy
    Model : TYWRA-RF

    I just wanted to share with you the config, in order to save time

    Here is the config:

    Yes thnx this wil help, but now it is just a wifi controlled relais, how can i learn a new RF remote control?

    are you sure RF matching must be done through software? I notice the manual only makes mention of the app method, but my experience with the switches I have with RF capability is that a long-push of one of the button also does the same. Perhaps this is also true of this device?

    Hi, I have the instructions manual. But xinetic mentioned that the RF transmitter cannot be learned after flash, so far I relay not flash because I want to keep the RF function. I will try to pick up the Tuya config and will see.

    Could you confirm that this configuration enable RF code learning?

    I flashed the relay successfully, it connects to wifi but cannot connect to the web interface :-(
    It's there way to reach settings in another way?

    Hi, does anyone have experience with this problem.
    The relay has an address assigned to it by the router, but i cannot connect to it after entering the address into the browser. I can change the parameters using UART, but I can't control the relay over wifi.
    Thank you

    Hi,

    I have the same smart switch. Can you tell me how you flashed it? Did you connect an uart/usb device, and if so, how did you wire it?

    but be careful, out of 4 relays one is not working RF, like in the second post!!

    That's how I connected it, but I did not unsoldier the cb3s. I tried to reset through pin 1 (reset) and pin 3 (cen), but without luck.

    Do I have to unsoldier the cb3s for that? I measured voltage over pin  8 and pin 9 after connecting gnd and 3v, but I measure only a 0.7v, so there is a huge voltage drop.

    That's weird. If you have a weak 3V3 power supply on the UART, you can use an external stabilizer.
    But the easiest way is to just connect Rx, Tx and GND and power the relay through its micro USB port.
    You connect the power then the UART, and briefly disconnect and reconnect the USB power when a reset is requested.

    Your suggestion did help me, but it works differently for me. Steps I did:
    1. wire TX, RX and GND
    2. connect USB/UART to computer
    3. start (windows) BK7231 UART flasher
    4. connect switch to USB for power
    5. shortly wire GND to pin 1 (RST)
    6. disconnect GND

    The results are as below

    note to me: don't swap TX and RX, because that leads to frying a SMD

    Unfortunately, I don't see it come up as an AP neither can I find it on my network when I add wifi credentials. Any flag box I should tick?

    After flash, choose Read only OBK config, then Change OBK settings and here put wifi SSID and password, then Write only OBK config. For wifi is not necesary to tick any flags.

    That was easy, but I think I fried the AMS 1117 voltage regulator, because the led is on with a fast flicker, there is no WIFI and there is no response from buttons or relay (the AMS started smoking when I had TX-TX and RX-RX connected).

    So that was it I guess, unless I have a AMS somewhere and that's the only defect component.

    Swapping Tx and Rx will not destroy the chip. You must have switched the polarity of the power supply.

    I agree that it's unlikely to destroy the chip with swapping Tx and Rx. But it's also unlikely to swap polarity using a USB cable to power the switch. I found a AMS1117 on a step down converter and tried to replace it, but that didn't end well. This project stops for me now. It was fun, but I am going to buy a zigbee switch as a replacement now.

    Didn't you use a 5V power supply instead of 3V3?
  • #18 21327132

    I used the uart on 3v and the USB is the regular way to power the switch (which is 5v of course). Apart from Tx and Rx I don't think anything was connected wrong. But we will never be sure

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the configuration and setup of the Mhcozy TYWRA-RF relay module, which utilizes the BK7231N chip and is based on the CB3S board. A user shared their configuration details, including vendor information, keywords related to the device, and pin assignments. The user also provided links to images and a wiki for further reference. Another participant expressed gratitude for the shared configuration but inquired about learning to pair a new RF remote control with the relay module.
