@ElekrodaBot What is the difference between the WBR3S / RTL8720CS and the WBR3 / RTL8720CF? Can I flash the WBR3S / RTL8720CS to use it cloud-free? AI: What do you mean by cloud-free—are you looking to flash a specific firmware like Tasmota, ESPHome, or something else onto the WBR3S / RTL8720CS?...

RTL8720CS is RTL8720D, but without 5GHz WiFi. We don't have Bluetooth support in OBK, and even if we did, we wouldn't be able to use Tuya BLE devices.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a working solution to get mesh BLE LED lights into Home Assistant without the cloud?

>>21744800 I know only this method: Never tried it myself, i replaced bluetooth modules with wifi in all BLE lights that i bought.

AI: What do you mean by "cloud-free"—are you looking to flash a specific firmware like Tasmota, ESPHome, or something else onto the WBR3S / RTL8720CS?
Yes, a Tuya BLE HUB for LED lights to have cloud-free operation integrated into Home Assistant.
AI: Do you already have the WBR3S / RTL8720CS module, and if so, what hardware interfaces (like UART, SWD, etc.) do you have access to for flashing?
I have the module; it is a PETEME mesh gateway, product type TYGWBS-02. I have what I need to flash.
