## What it is
OpenBeken is open-source firmware serving as a Tasmota/ESPHome replacement for Tuya-based and other IoT modules across many chipsets (BK7231T/N, BL602, XR809, W800, LN882H, Realtek, and more). It provides MQTT and Home Assistant compatibility for running smart devices cloud-free.

## Use cases
- flash tuya smart plugs with open source firmware
- replace cloud dependency on bk7231 devices
- connect smart home devices to home assistant via mqtt
- run tasmota-like firmware on bl602 or w600 chips
- make tuya bulbs and relays work locally without cloud
- find pin configurations for iot device teardowns

## When to choose
- you have a Tuya-based device with a supported chipset and want local control
- you want MQTT and Home Assistant integration on cheap Wi-Fi modules
- Tasmota or ESPHome does not support your specific chip (e.g., BK7231T/N, XR809, LN882H)

## When to avoid
- your device runs on ESP32/ESP8266 where Tasmota or ESPHome have broader ecosystem support
- you need Zigbee or Thread device support rather than Wi-Fi chip firmware
- you require a formally licensed product - the repository has no explicit license

## Facets
- artifact type: application
