    I bought MOES Wi-Fi light switch from AliExpress (https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008574435831.html). But I'm not sure what chip it has.
    Model: WS-SR-EU-L

    Can anyone please help me to identify chip? Is this chip supported by OpenBK7231T_App (https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App)
    I cannot find anything similar in the elektroda.com forum. Any help or link to any documentation or article will be helpful.

    Can't say I recognise that module, nor can I find reference to it anywhere else. Are you able to spy anything beyond those capacitors?

    Are you planning on removing the module for a better look?

    I unsoldered one capacitor.

    oh! I was expecting a proper MCU behind there. um.

    Added after 3 [minutes]:

    I'm confused. Where's the MCU? What's doing wifi and broadcasting for app pairing? Did you confirm it discoverable before taking it apart?

    Wifi chip is usually on the pcb which connects to that 8 pin header. Please show that one.

    Finally, I found a Wi-Fi chip. It is AXYU. As I understand, it is supported by OpenBK7231T_App?

    I have problems to back up the firmware using guide (https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/topic4111822.html). The 'download' step is success. However, during 'flash' step I'm getting error:

    RECV_RSP: recv magic is error!
    UP_FLASH: meet error when request the trunk 1, pos: (0x400, 0x400)
    read FLASH failed!

    I tried to set read length of 0x400000 and 0x200000. The same error.

    Not sure I've encountered this error before. Tried standard things like lowering baud? Are your wires short and soldered?

    I attempted to re-solder the RX and TX wires, but ran into issues during the 'flash' step while trying to back up the firmware. So, I decided to skip the backup and proceed with flashing the OpenECR6600 firmware instead. The flashing was successful, and I was able to connect to the Wi-Fi network. Next, I'll work on configuring the pins.

Topic summary

The discussion focuses on identifying the main chip used in the MOES WS-SR-EU-L Wi-Fi light switch purchased from AliExpress. Initial images showed only capacitors and an 8-pin header, with no visible MCU. After removing a QR code sticker, the main chip was revealed to be an AXYU ECR6600 Wi-Fi chip. This chip is confirmed to be supported by the OpenBK7231T_App firmware. Attempts to back up the original firmware using the recommended guide resulted in errors during the flash step, specifically "RECV_RSP: recv magic is error!" and "read FLASH failed." Troubleshooting included checking wiring and baud rate, but the issue persisted. Ultimately, the user skipped backing up the original firmware and successfully flashed the OpenECR6600 firmware, achieving Wi-Fi connectivity and planning to configure GPIO pins next.
