Unable to flash VBS LED bulb #689

Open taha-yassine opened 4 years ago

taha-yassine commented 4 years ago

Hi everyone,

I'm new to tuya-convert and I bought this VBS (??) LED light bulb from aliexpress. I tried to flash it with no success. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong and I don't know if this is related to the new PSK format.

Here are the logs:

smarthack-mqtt.log smarthack-psk.log smarthack-udp.log smarthack-web.log smarthack-wifi.log

Thanks.

I see only one device connected in your wifi log. Is that your phone?

Did you put the light into fast blink mode before pressing enter?

taha-yassine commented 4 years ago

Okay so I was doing something wrong. I was putting the light into slow blink mode. So I managed to put it in fast blink mode but I still have the same problem. Only my phone shows up as a connected device (what appears in the logs). Seems like for whatever reason the light goes undetected.

I think I found the issue. The light bulb is simply not using an ESP8266 but rather what seems like an RDA5981 as explained in step 2 of this article. I guess I got unlucky.

P.S. If anyone knows of a way to flash this module with a custom firmware, I would be very grateful.
