This is the first, and likely only device that I have ever added openbk to, but it has not yet been listed so I figure I'll throw the information that I have about it here.

I purchased this from an Ace Hardware a few years back, and finally decided to cut it from the cloud. It has one single relay that controls all 6 outlets.

Hopefully I have enough information to make this useful.

Device name: Feit Electric Smart Wi-Fi Yard Stake
SKU: PLUG/WIFI/STK/WP
Manufacturer URL: https://www.feit.com/products/six-outlet-outdoor-stake-wi-fi-smart-plug-plug-wifi-stk-wp
Description: outdoor 6 outlet power stake

Chip: BK7231-TQN32
No tuya module

Summary:
To flash Openbk, I used Tuya-CloudCutter and it worked without any problem.

I used the config from the Feit Electric PLUG/WIFI/WP and it works just like it did when connected to the Tuya cloud services (Wifi_LED p7; LED p8; Relay p24; Button p26)

Thank you for the presentation, it is a very interesting device, although I would be worried about its IP rating. Is it really an outdoor one?

I can also see the tracks for the RF circuit on the PCB. There is also a secondary antenna. It seems that the device also comes in an RF+WiFi version.

As far as waterproofing, there is no mention that I've seen of any IP rating. There are no gaskets or seals of any kind that I can find, just the overlapping plastic bits of the housing...

We have been using it for our holiday lights for the past 5 or so years, always under the eave of our house, so it's relatively protected from snow and rain. The board has no corrosion or evidence of moisture, so it seems to do okay. I hadn't opened it up until a couple of months ago, so hopefully I didn't compromise it any.

It's good to hear it already lasted a long time. Maybe I worried over nothing.

Btw, if you are a new user, you can look into PowerSave 1 and startDriver SSDP commands, the first one can reduce energy consumption by WiFi module while maintaining all features running and second can make device discoverable by Windows.

That is good to know about the powersave feature! This page says that it should be 1 by default, but I have added it to my startup for good measure.

As for the SSDP driver, I can't seem to find any quick information as to how or why I would want this discoverable by Windows...

Oops, I didn't mean to say it's enabled by default. Our intention was to say that if you type:
PowerSave, without any arguments, it will assume that you want to do PowerSave 1. This is because of the legacy command that wasn't taking any arguments.

Still, thanks for letting me know, I can now see that this part of the docs can be misleading...

Regarding SSDP, it looks like this:

That all makes sense. Thanks for letting me know about both of those!

I just learned how to download the Tuya config and extract the pinouts, and have updated my original post with the new information and config JSON:

I think I personally prefer led_n to be on pin 7 (blue LED, pin 8 is red)) and no WiFi LED, so that it is dark when off and only the blue LED is on when it is on.

You're lucky that you've got a device with two separate LEDs.

Here's a SSDP tutorial:

Thanks for posting this. I just purchased the Globe Electric "Remote Control Ground Stake" Model number 50233 on clearance at my grocery store and it's exactly the same as the Feit Stake. All I could find online is an FCC inspection / teardown.

This will be my first CloudCutter experience, so hope it goes well!

Good luck, but don't worry if the device is already patched. The UART method is also easy to do. I can see there are some flashing pads exposed inside, in the case of patched device, we may need to check where they are connected.

Let us know how did it go with cloudcutter.
