Universal Remote Control Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) is an infrared (IR) universal remote control that Hangzhou Tuya Inc. has developed. It consists of a low-power WB3S Wi-Fi module(or WBR3 Wi-Fi module), an IR emitter, and an integrated IR receiver. Figure 1 shows the functional block diagram.

Overview

WB3S is a low-power Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE combo module that Tuya has developed. It consists of a highly integrated RF chip (BK7231T) and several peripheral components, with an embedded Wi-Fi network protocol stack and robust library functions.WB3S also contains a low-power 32-bit microcontroller unit (MCU), 1T1R WLAN module, 256 KB static random-access memory (SRAM), 2 MB flash memory, and extensive peripherals.

WB3S is an RTOS platform that integrates all function libraries of the Wi-Fi MAC and TCP/IP protocols. You can develop embedded Wi-Fi products as required.
