    Hello everyone,
    i'm a bit new to openbekken, but I am more experienced with HomeAssistant.
    I recently bought a Tuya Wifi Water Leak Sensor off Aliexpress with the CB3S Chipset.
    I managed to backup & flash the firmware and configuring OBK. After a successful OBK-write and a reset, the device won't connect to my WiFi, hence not doing anything.
    I'd assume the device is dead, but i can successfuly read OBK data. I tried while powering the chip with my jumpercable-setup or with batteries. Nothing happens.


    OBK device configuration interface showing WiFi and MQTT settings
    FormOBKConfig app window showing configuration options with some checkboxes selected
    “IP Config” tab showing static IP, mask, DNS, and gateway settings in FormOBKConfig

    OBK config loaded. You can now view it by clicking 'Change OBK settings' button.
    You can also edit it however you want.
    You can also use 'Write OBK config' button to write it back with your changes.



    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    AI: Could you share the exact WiFi settings you entered in OBK (SSID, security type, password, etc.) and how you configured them?
    Please see my wifi settings in the embedded picture
    AI: Are there any error messages, unusual LED patterns, or log outputs when the device tries to connect to WiFi after flashing OBK? If so, could you provide those details?
    No visible error messages, no LED is on, unable to find where to view the UART-log
