Consumer Groups Push New Law Fighting 'Zombie' #IoT Devices
Big News! #Semtech announced their 4th gen #LoRa chip, and they specifically mentioned #meshtastic! It’s truly exciting to be recognized at this level! We can’t wait to get hardware that supports this chip.

Pessima notizia per chi ama la #domotica:
Un ricercatore spagnolo ha trovato 29 comandi non documentati nel microchip #esp32 (della azienda cinese
#espressif ), che potrebbero essere usati per infettare altri dispositivi della rete.

Undocumented "backdoor" found in Bluetooth chip used by a billion devices
@ai6yr Sounds like the attacker would have to be close to your weather station to get Bluetooth connectivity before issuing low level commands.
Most fun, though not profit, could come from having the infected device spread the infection to its neighbours until no IoT devices remain on the planet.

There are things out there like the Works With Home Assistant badging program for things that work with #hass but we also want to know what doesn't work so we don't waste time and money on them.
If you've run across a IOT device that doesn't work with Home Assistant, or works poorly with it (like requiring a cloud service to control a device on your home LAN), please submit it to https://github.com/unixorn/internet-of-trash so I can add it to the list.
Thanks!
I need to find a plug that I can remotely operate via the internet. It should work via wifi. It would be nice if it were actually secure and not some massive security hole in the network. It would be used to power cycle a Raspberry Pi periodically when the Raspberry Pi crashes and I can't get to it in person for weeks at a time.
We're very excited to announce that Apollo Automation have joined the Works With Home Assistant - the first @esphome-based devices to receive this certification!
Check out how Apollo got started building devices with ESPHome and which ones have been certified on our blog

That guy hacked his air purifier, reversed part of the Android app, then the PCB, downloaded the firmware and reversed everything .. to integrate it to HomeAssistant! :o
Didn't know about MessagePack nor esp32knife.
