Pointers on where to start? (Bluetooth): Turn gatttool cmd into a (node.js?) plugin?
4 projects | /r/homebridge | 3 Dec 2021

Not being a coder (but familiar with php and a bits here and there), I wasn't able to convert those plugins into one that would control my device. I was, however, able to glean a lot of detail from decoding wireshark output and using this awesome reverse-engineering guide, along with reading this c++ code that was written for my device.

1 project | /r/homebridge | 1 Aug 2021

I found one homebridge app that controls the same device I'm interested in, but the author is uncontactable and I don't know how to decypher the code to understand what it's doing.
