Other tools

There are a few other tools in this repo that might help you improve support or test your own lights.

  • The btsnoop directory has a few HCI log dumps if you want to look at the raw values
  • aes_decrypt.py was used to test the encryption implementation
  • att_protocol.md has notes on the protocol and the Android companion app

Warning

I have bricked one set of lights by sending invalid data to them while building this integration. Use this repo at your own risk. You should be careful when sending bytes to these lights which are outside of the already discovered values.

You can read more on this here: https://www.whizzy.org/2023-12-14-bricked-xmas/

As far as I can tell this integration does not use any unsafe values by default. If you know otherwise, please open an issue, ideally with an accompanying PR.
