    Today we are changing the software of the Tuya RGBCW 30W ceiling lamp in the "slim" version. The goal will be to free it from the cloud and connect it to Home Assistant.

    Interior of the Tuya RGBCW 30W ceiling light with visible WiFi module CBU.
    The layout inside is very small. I see the WiFi CBU module there, i.e. BK7231N.
    Disassembled ceiling lamp with visible interior and arranged LED lights.
    The LEDs are arranged in a ring:

    There is no problem with the template, there are PWM pins in the CBU:
    
    8	P8	I/O	Support hardware PWM (Correspond to Pin 24 of the IC)
    9	P7	I/O	Support hardware PWM (Correspond to Pin 23 of the IC)

    Mysterious pilot...
    At first I thought it was a remote control with RF 433MHz, but there is no indication of this. There is no such receiver on the PCB with the WiFi module:
    White remote control with several buttons lying on a wooden table.
    The interior of the remote control looks a bit like an RF:
    Interior of a ceiling lamp remote on a wooden surface. Interior of the remote control with visible PCB and buttons. Close-up of a remote control circuit board with several buttons and an integrated circuit. Interior of a ceiling lamp remote control with PCB and springs.
    But there is no antenna on the PCB of the lamp.
    At this point, I suspect that it may be a situation similar to this topic:
    https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/topic4028226.html
    This remote may be Bluetooth-based in some form, but that`s just my guess. What do you think?

    Summary
    Quite a nice lamp, quite flat and compact. Changing the firmware was also easy.
    The only problem is with this remote control - I don`t know how it works at the moment and adding its support will be at least very difficult. There is not even a starting point, you would need to check if there is any way to "intercept" their Bluetooth communication, if it is BT at all... so if we change the load, we lose the remote control for now. If anyone has an idea on how to go about it, I`m open to suggestions. I will have to try to finally get BT communication working on the BK7231. The pilot`s case is opened and will be continued...

    Have you checked how much current it consumes for cold and warm white and how uniform the light is?
