Atorch S1BWP ESPHome

An ESPHome configuration that frees your S1BWP power meter from the Tuya cloud and enables fully local control via Home Assistant.

Note

This project is primarily aimed at the new S1BW(P) versions that are based on the AC6321A microcontroller and T1-2S-NL WiFi module. Other S1 variants with WiFi support may or may not work.

The dashboard YAML can be found in ha-dashboard.yaml.

Install

Prerequisites

• Python 3 with pip3
• git
• USB-to-serial adapter (3.3 V logic level)
• ltchiptool or BK7231GUIFlashTool for firmware backup

1. Install ESPHome and configure project

# Install esphome
pip3 install esphome

# Clone this external component
git clone https://github.com/1RandomDev/atorch-s1bwp-esphome.git
cd atorch-s1bwp-esphome

# Copy example config
cp secrets.yaml.sample secrets.yaml

# Edit secrets.yaml with your WiFi and MQTT credentials

# Validate configuration and compile
esphome compile atorch-s1bwp-esphome.yaml

2. Connect to the WiFi module

Caution

Do not connect the device to the mains while hooked up to a computer, everything on the low voltage side is live!

Connect a USB to serial adapter to RX1/TX1 (the existing connections to the devices PCB need to be broken) and power the device either via 5 V or 3.3 V. See Board Images for reference.

3. Backup the original firmware

This backup is needed if you ever want to install firmware updates for the primary MCU, which are currently only available through the SmartLife app.

The flash contents of the BK7238 can be read using ltchiptool or BK7231GUIFlashTool.

After the backup process is completed, do NOT reset or power cycle the device - leaving it in programming mode allows esphome run to flash directly.

4. Flash ESPHome via UART

esphome run atorch-s1bwp-esphome.yaml
