Hello @Tilator, have you tried to use Safe mode, just like we've shown on our FAQ?

Thanks. It seems like I got it in AP mode by accident. Got it configured again. Thanks.

I am glad to hear that the issue is resolved. Btw, remember that you can always speed up the configuration with Tuya GPIO extraction:

Hello, is there any way to reset OpenBeken device?

I had a very well working device until I changed the name settings from the config and rebooted it. Now it does not appear connected to the network and the only button on it does not respond in any way.

It has an LED lit under the button. So I suppose it is not totally dead.

But what can I do to reset it?

Hello @Tilator, have you tried to use Safe mode, just like we've shown on our FAQ?
https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/blob/main/docs/faq.md

I am creating multiplatform open source firmware (Tasmota replacement), right now supporting BK7231T, BK7231N, XR809, BL602, W800, W600, LN882H and soon supporting RTL and W701:

Thanks. It seems like I got it in AP mode "by accident". Got it configured again.

Thanks.
