    Another cheap switch from AliExpress.

    It looks like this is a duplicate of this post: https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/topic3930515.html#20581634
    but I cannot find the template in the database


    Purchased under the "buy 3 for $ 2" promotion.

    Aliexpress link for this switch, But the product was bought three times cheaper for the 3x promotion

    Image of the back of a MINI Smart Switch with power specifications and certifications. Front view of a white switch with ventilation holes and a central button.

    The quality of plastic, assembly, and soldering is good.

    Open smart switch box with visible electronic components.

    The CB2S module with Belon BL2028N (==BK7231N) is installed inside.

    View of the electronic circuit board of the 86-TDQ INNOV2 smart switch. CB2S module with Belon BL2028N chip on the switch's circuit board.

    The RX connector of the CB2S module is already in use and soldered to the main board. To flash it, you need to cut it.
    It is enough to remove the tin with a braid and carefully solder the wire to the tip of the pin.

    Close-up of the inside of a switch from AliExpress, showing the CB2S module and CEN to ground connection. Close-up of CB2S module with soldering points labeled VDD, GND, RX, TX, and CEN, indicating where to cut the RX trace.

    Without closing the CEN contact to the ground, the firmware update does not start.

    DON'T FORGET TO SOLDER BACK RX of CB2S to MAINBOARD
