    I want this for all the cloud polling shit devices i bought like an idiot

    If anyone has a similar solution for “hubspace” smart fans, I’m all ears

      I’m actually looking into this now with some hubspace lights I have. They seem to have disabled flashing from the bootloader so the only way to do this is with signed updates from the manufacturer. But I dont like the cloud-only method of control hubspace uses so it looks like…desoldering the original ESP32 and putting on another one thats been flashed with ravencore, ESPhome, WLED, or tasmota is what I’ll have to do.
