- wanted to share something I had a lot of fun working on for @xdasocial.bsky.social over the last few days! TL;DR: I reverse-engineered some Govee H615B lights so I didn't have to deal with the app or the official API #reverseengineering #hacking 🧵

- I connected to them with a Google Pixel 8 Pro with Bluetooth HCI logging, and I was able to see back and forth traffic between my phone and the lights as I controlled them 3/7
