This Device is based on a Tuya Wi-Fi Module. Refer to "MCU Based Tuya Dimmers and Switches" for details.
Curtain motors come in a confusing array. This one has a little Wi-Fi dongle, that looks like a USB stick. But it talks using 9600 8N1
, not USB. This means we can unplug the Tuya Dongle and flash it without worrying about the PCI micro. Excellent.
U1RX
and U1TX
, top right of the module are connected to the USB plug on D-
and D+
respectively. This dongle uses a Tuya TYWE1S, which is an ESP8266 with 2MB flash. USB3 pin R-
connects the onboard LED to the MCU via a 4k7 resistor. R+
, T+
, and T-
are all unused and unconnected on the motor PCB, so I liberated them for soldering to GPIO0
, U0RX
and U0TX
, to flash the chip.
- short GPIO0 and flash Tasmota
- Connect to your Wi-Fi and get MQTT and SSL working
- change to TuyaMCU with
module 54
(will reboot) - Switch from U0RX/TX to U1RX/TX with
backlog gpio1 0; gpio3 0; gpio15 107; gpio13 108
(will reboot) - Treat DpId 0x65 as a Dimmer with
tuyamcu 21,101
- Allow the dimmer to get down to 1% with
setoption69 0
And done. The curtain motor now presents as a Dimmer, with 100% full brightness = fully closed, and 0% full darkness = fully open.
The curtain motor also presents DpId 0x66 as a single event "Full Open" 00
, "Full Close" 01
, and "Stop" 02
command; but as of September 2019, I can't see how to get that working.
The curtain motor also presents DpId 0x67 as a Boolean. I have only seen value 0x01 in all my prodding. 55 aa 00 07 00 05 67 01 00 01 01 75
= 07 Status, 0005 length, 67 DpId, 01 type, 0001 length, 01 value, 75 checksum
