MagicHome with ESP8285 - RTurala/Sonoff-Tasmota GitHub Wiki

Yet another MagicHome RGB controller. I specifically had this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DC5-24V-Wireless-WIFI-LED-RGB-Controller-RGBW-Controller-IR-RF-Remote-Control-IOS-Android-for/32827253255.html

Aside from it going 9-28v, there are no other external model numbers etc, however opening it up revealed a very different configuration inside, using an ESP8285 chip directly on the board.

Identifying this board

Looking closely you can see it's an ESP8285, on the main board, it has the part number: ZJ-WFMN-B V1.1

Flashing

I found that on the back it has pads to solder to so you can flash it.

The IO0 port is GPIO0 that needs to be pulled to ground when powered on for flashing (as per all ESP devices). I soldered cables to each of these. Note that some are very close to other pads, so be careful. If you want to avoid soldering, also pogo pins work well with the pads.

Configuration

Once flashed, I configured it as follows (using Tasmota v6.1.1):

ZJ-WFMN-B V1.1

Field	Value
Module type	18 Generic
D1 GPIO5	38 PWM2
D6 GPIO12	39 PWM3
D7 GPIO13	40 PWM4
D5 GPIO14	37 PWM1

ZJ-WFMN-A V1.1

Field	Value	Function
Module type	18 Generic	Module type
D2 GPIO4	51 IRRecv	IR Remote (optional, view console for debugging!)
D1 GPIO5	38 PWM2	BLUE
D6 GPIO12	37 PWM1	RED
D7 GPIO13	39 PWM3	GREEN
D8 GPIO14	40 PWM4	WHITE

With all that done, one of the critical things I needed to do so I could set the colors was to run the command to set SetOption15 to 1. For me, this was sending the MQTT command (you will need to adjust for your config):

mosquitto_pub -t 'cmnd/rgbled/SetOption15' -m '1'

Once the above was done and the device rebooted, I could set the colors using commands such as (to turn on red and white full):

mosquitto_pub -h openhab.sf -t 'cmnd/rgbled/color' -m '#ff0000ff'

RF control

If you have the RF variant, you will want to configure the GPIOs like this:

  { "MagicHome RF",    // Magic Home RF (ESP8266) - (Arilux LC10)
     GPIO_USER,        // GPIO00 Optional Button
     GPIO_USER,        // GPIO01 Serial RXD and Optional sensor
     GPIO_LED1_INV,    // GPIO02 Blue onboard LED (optional)
     GPIO_USER,        // GPIO03 Serial TXD and Optional sensor0
     GPIO_ARIRFRCV,    // GPIO04 RF receiver input 
     GPIO_PWM2,        // GPIO05 RGB LED Green
     0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, // Flash connection
     GPIO_PWM3,        // GPIO12 RGB LED Blue
     GPIO_PWM4,        // GPIO13 RGBW LED White
     GPIO_PWM1,        // GPIO14 RGB LED Red
     GPIO_LED2_INV,    // GPIO15 RF receiver control
     0, 0
  },

After chosing the correct module type in your Tasmota configuration, press a key on the remote after boot for the device to learn your code.
