    I have two Teckin SP23s. Does anyone know if the T112_V1.1 module is pin-compatible with any Espressif versions?

    Isn't it TYWE2S-compatible? So ESP-02S, etc?

    Btw, where did you get that modules? I need one to finish OBK port this platform.

    Not exactly a drop in replacement for esp-02s (different pinout & slightly wider).
    Might need to solder some wires to it

    Will that include support for the the RTL8720C chip as well?

    Sadly, not like-for-like. I've seen a couple of posts about Teckins with this board that mention TYWE2S.

    Regarding sourcing the T112_V1.1 board, I only have them inside the Teckin SP23s I got off eBay last week. The picture of one unsoldered is from a forum post somewhere :)

    I'd love for you to be able to develop OBK to include the RTLs, I don't want to get into ESPHome. Can you source Teckin SP23s? Are you in the UK?

    I am in Poland, and I am not sure if I can order those devices. Futhermore, I would only need a WiFi module, I don't need whole device board.

    I had one about a year ago but it got accidentally bricked and that's why development of that branch stopped

    I'd happily attempt to unsolder (I'm a novice!) a board and send it over...

    That would be very helpful, have you watched our desoldering tutorials for CB2S and similiar modules? For instance here:

    Remember that flux is crucial for this process. Do not use too high soldering iron temperature and keep the tip clean.

    Yes. I have had this pen for years but I think the gunky (rosin?) stuff seen in your videos would be better. CircuitWorks flux dispensing pen on a red background.

    It's out. Bit messy. Close-up image of a section of an electronic circuit on a printed circuit board with visible chips and connectors. Fragment of a blue circuit board with visible contacts and labels.

    DM me your address if still wanted.

    Well, I know how to regenerate a pad and only one is ripped so maybe that's not a lost case! I've send you a PM

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the T112_V1.1 module found in Teckin SP23 smart plugs and its compatibility with Espressif ESP modules. The T112_V1.1 is not a direct pin-compatible replacement for ESP-02S due to a different pinout and slightly larger size, requiring possible manual wiring adjustments. It is suggested that the module may be TYWE2S-compatible, but not exactly interchangeable. The T112_V1.1 board contains a Realtek RTL8710BN chip, with some references to RTL8195A and RTL8720C chips in related contexts. Users shared experiences with desoldering the module from the SP23 device, including tips on soldering techniques and flux usage. Firmware development efforts are ongoing, with OBK (OpenBeken) firmware support being explored for these Realtek-based modules. A preliminary OBK device template for a similar Realtek-based smart plug (T102_V1.1 with RTL8710B) was shared, indicating active development in this area. Resources such as GitHub issues and YouTube tutorials were referenced for further technical guidance.
