Tuya / Smatek "T6E" and ”S6E” 4-inch Control Panels for CCS (Central Control System) Android-based in-wall 4-inch smart display with touch screen now sold under many different brands

Just think that was just good to add the direct link to EZSP adapter alpha/beta discussion for reference because testers should report issues that are specific to EZSP there → [WIP]: EFR32 EZSP adapter implementation and test · Issue #319 · Koenkk/zigbee-herdsman · GitHub

Good day,
Is there router firmware for the panel?
Thank you

Not quite sure yet however there is a related request for a community-built Zigbee Router firmware here for the Tuya TYZS13 Module that it uses and Blakadder is in discussion there with a community firmware developer about that → [REQUEST] EFR32MG13P732 router firmware images for Tuya TYZS1L module and Tuya Zigbee USB Range Extender / USB Dongle Signal Repeater · Issue #24 · grobasoz/zigbee-firmware · GitHub

Thank you very much

I happened to have the S6E, its identical to the T6E but it has relays.

Inside the device, there is an APK Installer and the Smatek TyTest Application

I used the APK Installer to export the APK and pull it into my Local PC.

I then used an online APK Decompiler and decompiled the entire source code.

What I found was that by sending

adb shell echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio115/value

I was able to control the relays. But I am not sure how I can use this to integrate the relays into Home Assistant.

This is the link to the Relay Source Code.

If anybody has any ideas how to reverse engineer this, maybe get Home Assistant to send an ADB Shell Command, that would be awesome and the S6E will be able to control relays to turn on and off lights, just like a wall switch. Hence, giving full funtionality to these devices.

NSPanel Pro is identical to the T6E, both the devices use the same board and the components. Difference are that the NSPanel pro doesn’t have a ethernet port, it comes with 2GB of ram and the zigbee chip is of Silicon labs EZSP. Blakadder mentioned that the display on the T6E is superior and brighter than the NSpanel pro. I was able to flash the Rom from the T6E on the NSPanel pro and boot it up successfully. The only error i got was the zigbee chip was not ready since the NSPanel is using SI labs chip. Rest all features work as expected.

They are all using Silicon Labs SoCs but with T6E/S6E you so far also have to manually flash other firmware on that Silabs chip seperatly using a USB-to-TTL/Serial adapter as per Blakadder’s blog, see Run Zigbee2MQTT on Tuya T6E Android Smart Home Panels | Blakadder's Smarthome Shenanigans

Blakadder have already posted instructions on how to do all that in a series of several posts about T6E panels on his blog. See links above.

Hey, my model is the S6E that has relay controls built in with it. I had checked with Blakadder on twitter if he was familiar with how to get it to work. He suggested to look into the source code.

I have figured out a way to get the relays on the S6E to work.

I’ve boot-looped (bricked) my T6E after installing Xposed and rebooting. Do you know any means of recovery? It’s not accessible via adb commands anymore either. :cry:

Great post!

Q1a.
I want to get the S6E version to also control some lights but on aliexpress they do not show so much info about the ram and processor. It seems like they are all the same looking at the units that do have a specification.
Q1b.
S6E description says separate dimmer hardware needed? I currently use dimmer module like Moes Smartlife/Tuya with hardwired momentary switch.
Q2.
Should I be worried about buying so many for my home when, like my old mobiles, android support /updates disappear, or HA needs higher power browser?
Q3.
Will Alexa function work after changing for HA use?

Please let me know, especially the S6E owners.
UK links show best price around 60 pounds plus taxes but processor says LX7 240Mhz which seems a lot slower than the one at the top of this thread? I’d need something fast enough to be responsive and play camera low res rtsp camera sub-stream directly or via HA.

Many thanks in advance!

have you had any luck so far with this one? i was looking at the same.

@blakadder after watching your videos and following your tutorial I have three of these panels (Tuya T6E) and one works well enough. Once the second one sleeps after 30 seconds it then fails to respond to wake up and drops off the adb connection. Any thoughts ? Is there a way to reflash to stock firmware so I can retry installing software ?

Does that procedure work for generic Tuya T6E panel as well. I will give that a go, i believe it is going into a ‘deepsleep’ state, is there a way to avoid it. Confused as to why my other panel works…

Hello blakadder, does these emergency recovery applies to the S8E and T6E panel? Because I can’t seems to recover from my S8E panel. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I have that moes panel what Blakadder reviews and as he says there is Bluetooth but not in use and i have seen lots of other brands showing they have Bluetooth. Anyone know is that true and if it’s is there way to to update moes to other os or any other way to enable Bluetooth?
Thank you for any answers.
