This device has WR3 module, based on RTL8710BN. This is impossible to flash it with Tasmota or ESPurna .

teardown

I can confirm that there was also a WR3 module on my WL5.

I use tuyapi to control this device without internet network.

@WMP Have you got your WL5 working in homebridge yet? I saw your comment in another github about being unable to make it work due to TLS issues.
I have 3 of these devices and would like to get it working too, so I would love to get your homebridge configuration if you got it working. you can email me at inthecentreofitall at gmail.com

Hi guys,

I unsoldered the unholy WR3 module and put an ESP-12e with Tasmota in its place.

It's working, but now I am stuck fiddling around with the DpId's.

This is what it looks like with the help of the Tasmota Tuya Bookmarklet
(found here: https://github.com/sillyfrog/Tasmota-Tuya-Helper)

I managed to figure out that DpId 22 is the main dimmer channel (10-1000) and 20 is the classic boolean ON/OFF.
23 and 26 do not seem to change anything (although i dont have anything connetcted to the CW and W channels @ the moment, only the RGB ones )

My guess is that i have to send some kind of coded 5 channel color string like "FF00000000" for "channel 1 at full"

Any pointers?

Thanks in advance

@hoshy42 Have you had any progress with this? I was thinking about doing this and happy to see it works at least that far. Might have to order some esp-12:s to try this and figure out how to make it work but I don't really know much about these things.
