DETA Grid Connect Smart Switch (Single / Double / Triple / Quad)

DETA Grid Connect Smart Switch (Single / Double / Triple / Quad)

Device Type: switch
Electrical Standard: au
Board: bk72xx

General Notes

The DETA Smart Single Switch (6911HA) and Smart Double Switch (6912HA) are made by Arlec as part of the Grid Connect ecosystem, and are sold at Bunnings in Australia and New Zealand.

Series 1

Series 1 models could be OTA flashed using using tuya-convert.

Series 2

Recently purchased devices are using the Beken BK7231T microcontroller and can be OTA flashed using using Cloudcutter.

Triple 6903HA and Quad 6904HA The pin outs on the 3 & 4 gang switches are different to the 1 and 2 gang switches. Some 4 gang switches are on random Tuya firmware 1.1.5 and may need to use the “Lonsonho” brand “X804A 4 Gang Smart Wifi Switch” option in Cloudcutter, otherwise use the Deta single gang switch.

Getting it up and running

Cloudcutter

Cloudcutter is a tool designed to simplify the process of flashing Tuya-based devices. It allows you to bypass the need for physically opening the device and swapping out chips. By leveraging the cloud APIs, Cloudcutter enables you to flash the firmware remotely, making it a convenient and less intrusive option. Follow the instructions on the Cloudcutter GitHub repository to use this method for flashing your device.

Disassembly

If you can't or don't wish to use Cloudcutter, you can flash directly to the outlet with USB to serial adapter.

Overview

This guide covers the DETA Smart Switches, including the Single (6911HA) and Double (6912HA), which are part of the Grid Connect ecosystem. These switches are available at Bunnings stores in Australia and New Zealand.

Series Information

Series 1 - Flashing

  • Flashing Method: OTA via tuya-convert

Series 2 - Flashing

  • Microcontroller: Beken BK7231T
  • Flashing Method: OTA via Cloudcutter

Note: The Triple 6903HA and Quad 6904HA models have different pinouts compared to the 1 and 2 gang switches.

Setup Guide

Using Cloudcutter

Cloudcutter is a tool designed to simplify the flashing process. Follow the official guide for instructions.

Manual Flashing

If you prefer to flash manually, you'll need a USB to serial adapter. Follow the disassembly steps below:

  1. Remove the front plastic face.
  2. Unscrew the two exposed screws.
  3. Remove the clear panel and the small PCB underneath.

Tip: You can convert these switches to ESPHome by replacing the WB3S chip with an ESP-12E or ESP-12F chip and adding a 10k pull-down resistor on GPIO15.

GPIO Pinouts

Tuya-Based Models

PinFunction
GPIO4Status LED (inverted)
GPIO12Button, Bottom
GPIO13Relay, Top (includes LED)
GPIO14Relay, Bottom (includes LED)
GPIO16Button, Top

BK72XX-Based Models

PinFunction
P6Relay, Left (includes LED)
P9Status LED (inverted)
P14Button, Left
P24Button, Right
P26Relay, Right (includes LED)

Note: Each relay shares a pin with its associated LED.

Advanced Modifications

To gain individual control of button LEDs, remove specific diodes and solder a wire from the cathode side of the diode pad to a spare GPIO pin. See this example.
