Converting a LMA35 to ESP8266 in a RGB floor lamp
Calex-WiFi-LED-Floor-Lamp-ESP-mod
Notes on freeing a Calex Smart Floorlamp from its cloud. The LMA35 WiFi module (a Beken BK7231) gets disabled and an ESP8266 running WLED takes over driving the RGB and white LEDs.
What's documented
- The lamp's PCB and LED strip (30x SM16703 chips, WS2811-compatible, plus a white PWM channel).
- The LMA35 pinout.
- WLED install and config steps.
The swap
Grounding the LMA35's EN pin silences the stock chip. An ESP8266 then drives the SM16703 DATA line on GPIO2 for the RGB strip and PWM on GPIO15 for the white LEDs. WLED treats the strip as WS281x and the white channel as plain PWM. The datasheet claims 17 mega-ampere per channel; I ignored that.
