    Hello,
    this is my first post here, so please be gentle...(:-))

    I bought this device on AliExpress - together with two more units - posts to follow...
    It is a DOUBLE/TWIN controller for shutters, curtains etc., so it can control TWO motors. It has 4 relays (3x vertical on PCB, 1x flat under SoC).
    Data as found:
    - Wifi on Tuya
    - Brand: Girier
    - Product-Name: Wi-Fi Curtain Module
    - SoC: "CBU 7ori" (BK7231N), no idea what "7ori" could mean...
    - 3x+1x relays of 5A

    Disassembly is quite easy from rear side with small screwdriver - self explanatory.

    Giier brand 2-channel Wi-Fi curtain control module with connection diagram. Wi-Fi curtain control module with exposed components.Wi-Fi curtain control module with four relays.Controller module with model markings CBU 7ori and CE. Wi-Fi controller for blinds and curtains labeled HF49FD.

    Now to my request:

    The wall switch I have is a double rocker switch with mechanical interlock and TRI-stable status (UP/OPEN - STOP - DOWN/CLOSE) for each shutter motor. The motors themselves have two end-switches integrated. When the wall switch is pressed, motor will run until end switch cut out - but wall switch will remain pushed. Sorry, find it hard to explain...
    White wall-mounted triangular buttons for controlling shades.
    Like that, I don't have buttons for up/(stop/)down, but steady/stable switches instead.

    Now, the 'smart' controller expects a button function in the wall switch and does not understand the wall switch.
    Problem: When I press UP or DOWN on the wall switch, controller waits for me to press STOP first, then starts the motor.
    This has a low WAF...

    I am wondering, if there is a way to solve this within TUYA firmware - would be sufficient for me as IObroker already can control it.
    Or should I flash the CBU / BK7231N to openBK to solve this problem, which I did not do by now - I only flashed some ESPs to Tasmota.
    Or should I replace the CBU with a ESP32-C3 with Tasmota.

    Anyone with shutter experience around?

    Many thanks!!

    BR Marcus
