OpenBK7231T/OpenBeken is a Tasmota/Esphome replacement for new Tuya modules featuring MQTT and Home Assistant compatibility. This repository is named "OpenBK7231T_App", but now it's a multiplatform app, supporting build for multiple separate chips:
- BK7231T (WB3S, WB2S, WB2L, etc)
- BK7231N (CB2S, CB2L, WB2L_M1, etc)
- T34 (T34 is based on BK7231N), see flashing trick
- BL2028N (BL2028N is a Belon version of BK7231N)
- XR809 (XR3, etc)
- BL602 (SM-028_V1.3 etc), see also BL602 flash OBK via OTA tutorial
- LF686 (flash it as BL602)
- W800 (W800-C400, WinnerMicro WiFi & Bluetooth), W801
- W600 (WinnerMicro chip), W601 (WIS600, ESP-01W, TW-02, TW-03, etc)
- LN882H by Lightning Semi - datasheet, see flashing how-to, see sample device teardown and flashing, see new flash tool, see dev board
- Windows, via simulator
Please use automatically compiled binaries from the Releases tab. To build yourself for a given platform, just checkout first our version of SDK and then checkout this app repository into it, details later.
See our guides in Russian: BK7231N/T34, and BL602 RGB, and Youtube guide for BK7231/T34

Supported Devices/Templates List Now with 500+ entries! (Get 🏆free SD Card🏆 for submitting new one!)
We have our own interactive devices database that is maintained by users. The database is also accessible from inside our firmware (but requires internet connection to fetch). Have a not listed device? HELP US, submit a teardown here and 🏆get free SD card and gadgets set🏆 ! Thanks to cooperation with Elektroda.com, if you submit a detailed teardown/article/review, we can send you this set of gadgets for free (🚚shipping with normal letter🚚). NOTE: Obviously almost any device with supported chip (BK7231, BL602, W600, etc is potentially supported and it's not possible to list all available devices in the market, so feel free to try even if your device is not listed - we are here to help and guide you step by step!)

OpenBeken features:
- Tasmota-like setup, configuration and experience on all supported platforms (supports common Tasmota JSON over http and MQTT, etc)
- OTA firmware upgrade system (for BK, W*00, BL602, LN); to use OTA, drag and drop proper OTA file on OTA field on new Web App Javascript Console
- Online builds for all platforms via Github, configurable per-user build system, also supports Docker builds
- MQTT compatibility with Home Assistant (with both Yaml generator and HA Discovery)
- Support for multiple relays, buttons, leds, inputs and PWMs, everything fully scriptable
- Driver system for custom peripherals, including TuyaMCU (see Dimmer tutorial), I2C bus and BL0942, BL0937 power metering chips, Motor Driver Bridge.
- Hardware and software I2C, supports multiple I2C devices, like TC74 temperature sensor, MCP23017 port expander, PCF8574T LCD 2x16 (or other?), etc
- Hardware and software SPI, support for SPI BL0942, etc
- NTP time from network (can be used with TH06 and other TuyaMCU devices), can run any script on selected weekday hour:minute:second
- Dedicated TuyaMCU support with extra TuyaMCU analyzer tool for decoding new devices (tutorial here, code repository here)
- support for TuyaMCU Battery Powered devices protocol (TuyaMCU enables WiFi module only to report the state, eg. for door sensors, water sensors)
- RGBCW LED lighting control compatible with Home Assistant (including PWM LEDs, and SM2135, BP5758, etc )
- LittleFS integration for scripts and large files (you can write scripts there, you can host a page there with REST interface control of device)
- Command line system for starting and configuring drivers, for controlling channels, etc
- Short startup command (up to 512 characters) storage in flash config, so you can easily init your drivers (eg. BL0942) without LittleFS
- Advanced scripting and events system (allows you to mirror Tasmota rules, for example catch button click, double click, hold)
- Easily configurable via commands (see tutorial)
- Thanks to keeping Tasmota standard, OBK has basic compatibility with ioBroker and similar systems through TELE/STAT/CMND MQTT packets, Tasmota Control app is also supported
- DDP lighting protocol support ("startDriver DDP" in autoexec.bat/short startup command), works with xLights
- Can be scripted to even work with shutters, see also second shutters script
- Password-protected Web security see tutorial
- Advanced deep sleep with GPIO/timer wakeup and hybrid power save systems, fully scriptable, can be configured to last longer than Tuya
- Supports automatic GPIO setup with Tuya GPIO extraction, cloudcutter templates, can also import/export OpenBeken templates, you can also use GPIODoctor to find out quickly GPIO roles
- Advanced and custom drivers like synchronized PWM groups with configurable dead time
- WS2812B support, see scripting tutorial
- LFS and REST API allows you to create and host a custom HTML+CSS+JS page on device with a custom GUI/display of channels/TuyaMCU dpIDs, see tutorial and see sample page
- Can run on Windows with device simulator/schematic drawer, see tutorial
- and much more

OpenBeken supports online builds for all platforms (BK7231T, BK7231N, XR809, BL602, W800), but if you want to compile it yourself, see BUILDING.md
