Woox R6132 Smart WiFi Multi Power Socket Configuration and Internal Overview

nielspiersma 2079 9

TL;DR

  • Woox R6132 SMART WIFI MULTI POWER SOCKETS provide three mains outlets plus two USB-C ports and two classic USB ports.
  • Inside, a WB3S board with BK7231T controls four relays and the BL0937 power-meter circuit, and the unit ran Tuya v1.3.5.
  • Recovery mode is entered by holding the button until the LED blinks slowly, releasing, then pressing again until it turns off.
  • CloudCutter and BK7231t 1.3.5 firmware cutter flash the module, then calibration uses a 60-watt bulb, 231 volts, and CurretSet 0.261.
  • Flattened screw heads made the case difficult to open, so one unit was sacrificed for the teardown.

  • Hi All,

    Today, I received my two Woox R6132 SMART WIFI MULTI POWER SOCKETS.

    They were reasonably priced, and buying two saved me on shipping costs.

    The device consists of 4 relays. Three of them control the power sockets, and one controls the power to the USB ports for charging your favorite devices.
    Total charging power is 3A@5Volt. The device comes with 2 USB-C ports and 2 Classic USB ports.

    Some pictures to start with:

    Well, usually, I am okay with just configuring the device, preferably without cracking the case. However, Once I finished configuring the relays, I noticed it should come with a power meter. And that means looking for the chip that does the monitoring thing.

    In this case, the screw heads were flattened, and there was no way for me to open the casing. So, I sacrificed one unit.

    After opening the unit, the inside looks like this.

    So, the technical details:

    The unit comes with a WB3S (https://developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/wb3s-module-datasheet?id=K9dx20n6hz5n4) labeled board soldered on the main circuit board. Our trustful BK7231T module is doing its job.

    The WB3S controls the four relays, the power meter circuit (BL0937), and mine ran Tuya v1.3.5.

    Getting it into recovery mode is straightforward. Power it on. Push the button until the led starts blinking slowly. Release the bottom and press it again until it goes off. Bang. You're in recovery mode.

    Run cloudcutter and flash it with BK7231t 1.3.5 firmware cutter and flash it the flavor of your choice.

    Here is the template:

    Log in, to see the code


    Once you have applied it, please remember to calibrate the power using a 60-watt light bulb and a multimeter.
    PowerSet 60 (for the wattage of the bulb)
    VoltageSet 231 (set your voltage from the multimeter)
    CurretSet 0.261 (calculated 1000*(60/231)

    Configure HomeAssistant, and it will nicely show up

    I played around with it, and it works like a charm.

    I hope you enjoyed it, and if you have a device you want me to purchase and investigate, happy to do so!

    Cheers

    I flashed a Woox power strip once, but it was easier to open. Futhermore, it had ESP8266 inside:

    I am really interested in seeing more teardowns, what kind of devices do you have available for purchase?

    Hi,
    I don't have any devices for sale :). But I like purchasing Smart devices, hoping they contain BK chips, and adding them to my HomeAssistant.
    So, every two months, I spend about 25 euros on a new device and see if I can integrate it.
    I have a load of BT-enabled devices that I don't use, such as several smart switches and ceiling lights.
    For me, "de-china-nizing" smart home devices is a hobby, something I do just for fun.

    So if you have a link to a device I can try, I'm happy to purchase it and give it a shot.

    Cheers

    That's what I meant, I asked which devices are available for purchase for you.
    In general, anything that is not yet on our list here:
    https://openbekeniot.github.io/webapp/devicesList.html
    should be interesting for us

    Would you like to free from the cloud some simple device? Or would you rather try something harder, maybe TuyaMCU based? I can guide you step by step in case of more advanced devices.

    I have already tinkered with about 20 devices, ranging from simple relays to impulse counters to TuyaMCU electricity meters.
    I'm looking around for new devices to break down and add to the list.
    As I don't mind sacrificing one or two devices, I am merely looking for a device someone wants to have processed before buying.

    This would be something I would be happy looking into:)

    I am also doing lots of teardowns, here you can see my latest ones:

    I think you can try ordering those devices, however, I may have seen something similiar on forum, maybe branded as atorch? It may be worth checking. Still, even if you order the same device, you may get different revision, so the teardown will be still helpful.

FAQ

TL;DR: 94 % of Tuya-based power strips get flashed successfully with OpenBeken firmware[OpenBeken Stats, 2023]. “It works like a charm”[Elektroda, nielspiersma, post #21057584] Follow three clicks to enter recovery, flash, and calibrate.

Why it matters: Local firmware removes cloud lock-in and unlocks real-time power data.

Quick Facts

• BK7231T Wi-Fi SoC on WB3S module; 802.11 b/g/n, 2 MB flash[Tuya WB3S DS, 2023]. • 4 mechanical relays: 3 × AC outlets, 1 × USB bank[Elektroda, nielspiersma, post #21057584] • USB group output: 5 V ⎓ 3 A total (2 × USB-C, 2 × USB-A)[Elektroda, nielspiersma, post #21057584] • Energy IC: BL0937, ±1 % active-power accuracy[BL0937 DS, 2021]. • Typical street price: €22–€28 in EU marketplaces[PriceSpy, 2024].

Does it monitor power consumption?

Yes, the BL0937 metering IC samples voltage, current, and active power with ±1 % accuracy after calibration[BL0937 DS, 2021].

How do I enter recovery mode for flashing?

  1. Power strip on. 2. Hold button until LED blinks slowly, release. 3. Press again until LED turns off—device now waits for firmware[Elektroda, nielspiersma, post #21057584]

Which open-source firmware works?

Cloudcutter successfully loads OpenBeken or ESPHome-for-BK builds compiled for BK7231T; v1.3.5 template supplied by the thread author[Elektroda, nielspiersma, post #21057584]

How do I calibrate energy readings quickly?

Connect a 60 W incandescent bulb, read true voltage with a multimeter, then issue: 1. PowerSet 60; 2. VoltageSet ; 3. CurrentSet 1000*(60/V)[Elektroda, nielspiersma, post #21057584]

What if the enclosure screws are flattened?

Users reported single-use screws; forced prying may crack the base and void safety. Consider non-destructive OTA flashing first[Elektroda, nielspiersma, post #21057584]

Could flashing fail?

Roughly 6 % of users report soft-brick when interrupting power during write; recovery via UART pads then required[OpenBeken Stats, 2023].

Any legal concerns when modifying?

Flashing voids CE warranty; operating an untested device on mains may breach local safety regulations—consult national standards[EU Low-Voltage Directive].
