Hacking Costco LED Light Panels - OpenBeken Firmware Installation

Full guide: https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/topic4024658.html These are Artika Skyshade Smart LED light panels, and these are an absolute steal at just £60 from Costco here in the UK - so much so that I bought three of them for my upstairs hallway lighting revamp. There’s just one little problem with them… Despite being “smart”, which in this case means RGBWW and WiFi controlled, these commit the cardinal sin of needing to be connected to the internet to be remotely controlled - even via Home Assistant - and how many times do I have to tell you… DON’T CONNECT YOUR LIGHT BULBS TO THE DAMN INTERNET! Luckily, the chip that runs this whole thing is a standard Tuya module, a BK7231N, which with a quick firmware flash can be fully open source controlled - and yes, no longer needing the damn internet to turn your bloody lights on. Oh, and before we get too far into this, I wanted to thank ErrorGap from the elektroda forum as it’s their guide I followed to get this done. It’s an excellent resource if you want to do this yourself, and it’s one I’ll link in the description! Right, let’s get into it!
