110-240VAC in-line leading edge dimmer with maximum load of 300W. Board is marked up as: DM_WF_MDV4 Leading edge dimmer. Original testing is detailed in post #1729. The WiFi control side is done using a TYWE3S but the dimmer control is via a STM8S003F3 MCU under the board rather than PWM from a GPIO. The external button connects to the MCU rather than the TYWE3S.
The LED is a dual colour, RED/GREEN. The green is controlled via GPIO 14 but the red seems to be controlled by the output, possibly directly from the MCU.
| GPIO | Usage |
|---|---|
| 0 | Can be modified for local control. See 'Mods' below. |
| 14 | Green LED |
4 pins can be soldered to the header holes to allow flashing, but the Tx/Rx need to be connected directly to the TYWE3S pins.
To flash, the fourth pin 'Flash' needs to be held at GND before power is applied, and kept at GND during flashing. I think it disables Tx/Rx communication to the MCU. You then need to boot with the GPIO 0 pin held to GND, then released a few seconds after boot.
With reference to #2422 the built-in hardware button can be re-configured to allow local ON/OFF and dimming. By cutting the track on the back and connecting a wire from the switch to GPIO0 on the TYWE3S, you'll be able to use the hardware button. You either use it to "GND during boot" to allow flashing with the TX/RX pins or control the device during normal operation. Using the build definition below, a 3-10 second long press will toggle the output, double click will dim and triple click will brighten. I disabled click and press so it didn't accidentally toggle ON/OFF during a double/triple click event.

I have not been able to get any of the other GPIOs on the TYWE3S to work as input GPIOs. They may need external pull-up resistors to help?
