Hello, this device is already supported by OpenBeken: You can find our flasher here: I think the setup approach from here could work:

- mqtt was discovered by HA. door sensor goes sleep but the deep sleep and push button are not working when sensor goes sleep. I have to manually turn it off and on every time it goes to sleep.

- I do not have deep sleep in the drop down list (attached photo).

Thank you.

in this post (firmware) you have displayed sensor battery at HO, but now it is not showing.
https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/topic3914412.html is the new version missing this option or it is me. Thanks.

I know you need my tuya back, copy attached original tuya firmware.

Hello again, if the sensor does not wake up, it can mean that:
- you have chosen wrong IO for sensor role
- you have incorrect DSEdge setting (DSEdge 2 is default, there is also DSEdge 1 or DSEdge 0)

For which role are you looking for? It seems you have all required roles here. I can see one role for DoorSensor (the PD role, input with PullDown). If you want a pull-up input door sensor role, scroll up, it's a bit earlier on the list.

Don't forget that if you set a Button role for pairing Button, it will also be able to wake up the device in the time of emergency. That way you can play around with settings and choose the ones that suits you best.

1- I managed (don't ask how) to get these results.
2- I cannot remove/find channel 1 in any setup?
3- I had to use dInput_n to reverse HO sensor action.
4- Door sensor sleep mode in HO not displaying ON or OFF?
5- MQTT state not displaying disconnected when in sleep mode?
6- How can I control the sleep mode duration (to reduce the time frame)?
7- How to turn OFF LED, it is always on.
8- Can we blink the LED (in Bright light) when awake mode triggered by Button or Door Sensor?

Added after 4 [minutes]:

One more clarification, can we display battery state in HO as voltage and capacity percentage so we can enable an alarm triggered at battery percentage to be replaced!

Thank you for the great achievement, keep it going and regards to all the team.

Guys, I found the correct settings. ))) Link

Thanks, I’ll check it and give feed back.

DSEdge (the wake up edge of deep sleep, either "opposite of current", "rising" or "falling") and the exact Door Sensor pin type (pull up, no pull up, etc) can change between devices. Please always remember to set the Button role for your button so you can do an emergency wake up of the device if the door sensor GPIO is configured incorrectly.

now the door sensor is not connected to my wifi router, I cannot reset to access AP mode, I did flash it more than 5 times using the UART flasher, still cannot access the access point web site to enter my WiFi pass-code. The BK flasher always writing file data to chip is success.

is there any other methods/ways to follow to diagnose the board.

@khafif in worst case, you can try doing full 2MB erase but maybe backup RF partition first so you can restore it later... I will look into adding a dedicated option for that to our flasher.
