TomZN TOB9-VAP

Notes

• Uses BL0942 for energy monitoring, which requires calibration
• Uses an H-Bridge for controlling the output instead of a standard relay. One key difference is that the H-Bridge retains the last position upon power off without the need of restore_mode

Programming

Tuya Cloudcutter was not able to work for this device (with firmware v1.0.15). If your device has an older firmware, it may be worth a try.

This device is powered by a CBU board (BK7231N), you can read LibreTiny's instructions on how to flash it.

Disassembling this device is simple, provided you find a way to remove the golden tubes. Here is one way:

GPIO Pinout

Pin	Function	Notes
GPIO09	Red LED	inverted
GPIO10	RX for BL0942	RX1
GPIO11	TX for BL0942	TX1
GPIO15	Blue LED (status)	inverted
GPIO17	Button	inverted
GPIO24	Bridge forward	pulse
GPIO26	Bridge reverse	pulse
