  Tools for reverse engineering

I have a couple of Govee light bulbs in my garage I control with an M5StickC using BLE: https://github.com/stevenjohnstone/reversing-tools/blob/main... . Looking at the decompiled Govee android app, there are many products with similar control over BLE in addition to wifi.

  Control Govee LED strip using bluetooth

There are a few projects on github for govee lights. On windows I have used https://github.com/ib0b/RGB-PC to connect to mine by bluetooth but the problem is that govee lights can only be connected to one bluetooth device at a time

  Napoleon eFIRE Integration for Home Assisstant

This is what I was really afraid of when I reverse engineered my fireplace BLE controller last year. Especially since the "Set password" command accepts raw bytes for input but the OEM app only ever sends length-limited numeric data.

Luckily, it seems to completely forget anything that happened to it after a brief power loss.

Which is probably why most of the BLE controllers of the same brand simply stay at the default password of "0000". A power outage will eventually get you back to that. If you're really bored that'd probably make for some great BLE wardriving.

But I, too, ended up putting the results of my reverse engineering into a Home Assistant integration (https://github.com/kaechele/napoleon-efire) and documented the system and protocol (https://bonaparte.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html).
