    It appears we now have another revision to the Arlec PC191HA Plug-in socket with energy metering. For reference here are the links to the teardown for Series 1 and Series 2.

    Some pictures of the outside:

    Pictures of the inside:

    It appears like a slightly more compact layout with dabs of silicone around the components I assume to improve robustness.

    The Tuya firmware version I saw when connecting it to the SmartLife app was 1.1.17 which apparently is a patched version preventing CloudCutter from flashing. I tried one of the profiles with no success.

    So I de-soldered the module for flashing the old fashioned way.
    Connected electronic device with colored wires and a USB module during soldering.

    Device configuration, as extracted from Tuya (using Easy UART Flasher):
    - BL0937 SEL on P24
    - Button (channel 1) on P11
    - LED (channel 1) on P26
    - BL0937 VI on P6
    - WiFi LED on P10
    - BL0937 ELE on P7
    - Relay (channel 1) on P8
    Device seems to be using CB2S module, which is using BK7231N.
    And the Tuya section starts, as usual, at 2023424

    Thank you for sharing, can you also attach jSON template in OBK format? Because, you know, we would like to add device to our teardowns list https://openbekeniot.github.io/webapp/devicesList.html and it would be easier for us to just copy JSON, instead of making new one from scratch.
    Helpful post? Buy me a coffee.
