[BK7231N / WB3S] Teardown and flashing of LEDVANCE SMART+ PLANON PLUS tunable white 30x30 45x45 30x6

  • I got 3 LEDVANCE 60x60 LED panels with different software versions (1.1.6 and 2.9.16)
    All of them with WB3S modules, WIFI flashable with tuya-cloudcutter
    According to the manual there are different sizes available: 30x30 45x45 30x60 60x60 120x30

    Flashing has been done with tuya-cloudcutter as follows:
    * By firmware version and name
    * 2.9.16 - BK7231T / oem_bk7231s_light_ty (or)
    * 1.1.6 - BK7231T / oem_bk7231s_light_ty

    "Slow blinking mode" is done by either disconnection from tuya-cloud via app and/or via 10x power-off-on cycles. (5x starts fast blinking mode).
    The Cycles should be done with frequency of around 1 second (1/2 sec off, 1/2 sec on). A little bit faster or much slower will fail the mode switch I figured out. -- Took me some times ;-)

    After flashing:
    * Find new Accesspoint and connect to
    * Open your browser: http://192.168.4.1 and configure your WIFI
    * reboot
    * Find new (WIFI) IP address and connect to via browser
    * go to WEBAPP -> config
    * set: Pin6: PWM_n ; Pin8: PWN; Flag: 5888 -> Save Pins
    * OTA -> Make Upgrade (select Download, Download, select Disk, Start OTA)
    * at standard webpage -> Config -> Configure Names -> Set a short- and long name for your newborn baby
    * (optional) Configure MQTT, Home Assistant, etc.

    That's a very interesting device design, it reminds me of a laptop power supply. I haven't seen that kind of Plafon device yet.

    Your template has been submitted:
    https://github.com/OpenBekenIOT/webapp/commit/8ce05a4ca160220fffc51f9356bc69d3976ff412
    It should be soon live at:
    https://openbekeniot.github.io/webapp/devicesList.html

    It's also interesting to see that this device uses PWM_n for one of the colors. Can you please attach here Tuya JSON as well, so I can investigate how it looks like there?

    I am asking because our template importer is not yet able to automatically detect PWM_n setting and I would like to improve it.
    Helpful post? Buy me a coffee.

    Yes, That was my first impression, too.

    I'm a little bit too busy, now. Maybe I can do it next week.

    I'll support you as much as I can.
    I had no success with enhancing tuya-cloudcutter. They have an extra repository for device profiles but I don't know the exact syntax to create a new profile. Do you have some suggestions where to find some information?

    You have already flashed this device via Tuya-cloudcutter, so they don't need your 2MB flash dump . The only way you can contribute is by showing us Tuya JSON so we can check how PWM_n is decoded. Of course, take your time, there is no hurry

    Here is decrypted config:
    Code: JSON
    Log in, to see the code

    Here is textual description:
    
    Device configuration, as extracted from Tuya: 
    - LED Cool (Channel 4) on P8
    - LED Warm (Channel 5) on P6
    - PWM Frequency4000
    Device seems to be using WB3S module, which is using BK7231T.
    And the Tuya section starts at UNCOMMON POSITION 0
    

    Are you really sure that it works better with PWM_n instead of PWM?

    Hello,

    i just got the LEDVANCE SUN@Home PLANON PLUS (120x30)
    (Different product line with CRI95 LEDs)

    it seems to use the exact same Driver

    Nameplate of LEDVANCE SUN@Home PLANON PLUS with technical specifications.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the teardown and flashing process of LEDVANCE SMART+ PLANON PLUS tunable white LED panels, specifically models with WB3S modules. Users share their experiences with different firmware versions (1.1.6 and 2.9.16) and the flashing process using tuya-cloudcutter. Key steps include entering a "slow blinking mode" through power cycling, connecting to a new access point, and configuring Wi-Fi settings via a web interface. The conversation also touches on the importance of PWM_n settings for color control and the need for a Tuya JSON file for further investigation. Users express a willingness to assist in improving device profiles and share decrypted configuration data for analysis.
