    Package:
    Box of Smart Electricity Protector with EARU logoPackaging of a circuit breaker with EARU Electric logo and model EAWCPT-J 63A

    Product:
    Earu EAWCPT-J circuit breaker with WiFi module on a dark background.Rear view of a white electrical device casing with mounting screws.

    Manual:
    User manual for Tuya WiFi Smart Circuit Breaker 63A

    Opened:
    Disassembled Tuya WiFi Smart Circuit Breaker 63A on a table. Open interior of a circuit breaker with electronics and wiring on a black background.Close-up of a Tuya WiFi circuit board with visible electronic components. Close-up of an electronic module with capacitors and colored wires.

    It opens just like this one.

    It has a CBU module. I was able to flash OpenBeken through UART.

    Downloaded the tuya firmware, but wasn't able to open it in any tool.

    I'm new to openbeken (I'm more of a tasmota/esphome guy), is there a way to sincronize the LED to the state of the bridge relay?
    AI: Could you describe the specific steps you've already tried to synchronize the LED with the bridge relay state?
    I haven't tried anything yet.
    AI: Have you encountered any error messages or unexpected behavior during your attempts to synchronize the LED? If so, could you provide details?
    I haven't tried anything yet.

    Thanks for sharing. I see you've even filled the topic field of the template, nice!

    Of course you can sync LED to the relay - just set the same channels for LED pin as you've set for the Bridge. The channels are used to group together things like buttons, LEDs, relays, etc. You can do this in this view:

    Did you attempt to run PowerSave 1 on your device? It should reduce heating and prolong power supply life.

    Hi! Thanks for the swift reply.
    I still didn't deploy it, just testing it out.
    I'm gonna see about grouping the LED.
    Thanks

    Is BL0942 working? This device may require SPI mode of BL0942, which is also currently supported.

    It's spitting out some numbers, but I haven't calibrated it or put a load on it yet. I'll have time to test it properly this weekend.

    When I look at this "device" I would never trust it to disconnect/switch 63A !

    It will be on all the time, just for power metering. I have proper electrical equipment installed by electricians, and my circuit breakers are rated below 63A.
    But you're right—I would never recommend working with just these types of devices. I just wanted a clean way to measure power.
    We'll see how it goes; I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to deploy these yet. I'm going to run some tests before wiring it up.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the Tuya WiFi Smart Circuit Breaker rated at 63A, which features power metering capabilities. Users are exploring its functionality, including the ability to sync an LED with the relay and the potential use of the BL0942 chip for power metering. One user has successfully flashed OpenBeken firmware through UART but encountered difficulties with the Tuya firmware. Concerns about the reliability of the device to handle 63A loads are raised, with users emphasizing the importance of proper electrical installations. Testing and calibration of the device are ongoing, with users planning to assess its performance under load conditions before full deployment.
