New Sonoff Zigbee Bridge and Sensors hit the FCC - CC2652 based!

Image
  CC2652 Zigbee Bridge (source: fccid.io) UPDATE: Slated release March 2022 And just like that iTead Sonoff drops the mic and busts out with some new Zigbee gear to hit the FCC to top of the fun of 2021.  I'm really hoping they got them right this time around.  The previous version motion sensor performed rather poorly and was full of issues in my motion sensor round up video.  The door sensor had battery contact issues for some users as well so here's and early drink to them pulling the nose up!   So the really cool thing when I looked at the internal photos was the CC2652 chipset!  NICE!  It might be a little overkill'ish but I do get it from an economy of scale type thing.  Why not do it all CC2652?  The chipset works so well and they've hit a sweet spot with the USB CC2652 series coordinator, so it seems they are going all in with this chipset.   On the release list is the button, temp/humidity sensor, motion sensor, door/window sensor and the Zigbee bridge.  I know

Preflashed ESPHome / Tasmota Smart Bulbs with an Added Bonus - Kauf BLF10

Image
  Someone has finally done it, a bulb with an oh sh!$ recovery method!  The Kauf BLF10 Bulb is on Amazon and preflashed with ESPHome .  Yes, you can also install other open source ESP8266 projects such Tasmota , WLED , etc by simply using your web browser.  No exploits, no hacks, no soldering, no wires, take it out of the box and go.   Purchase and skip the reading (Amazon) The bulb is a 10W LED (not to be confused with wattages stated as equivalent), I do not see a lumen rating at this time on the specifications but found the brightness by eye to be on par for a bulb of this size.  There are 5 independent color channels to this bulb; Red, Green, Blue, Cool White, and Warm White.  None of that 4 channel simulated warm white or cool white mess!  Keep in mind this is an A21 sized bulb that could have size issues fitting in some enclosures.  What's the added bonus?   Your eyes aren't deceiving you, those are indeed solder pads for 3V3, RX, TX, GND and GPIO Zero.  What does that

Zigbee Network Key Sniffing

Image
M.J. Wydra https://github.com/Tediore Discord: Tediore#8266 Synopsis This guide will explain how to sniff the network key from a Zigbee hub. The network key encrypts all messages sent between devices on a Zigbee network. When pairing a device, the coordinator sends the network key to the device which is encrypted with another key called the link key . There is a default link key called the well-known link key that all Zigbee devices use to encrypt the network key if no other link key is specified at the time of pairing (such as one generated with an installation code that is unique to the device being paired and is shared with the Zigbee software at the time of pairing). This guide assumes that the default link key is used. Objective Sniffing the network key from a hub can be useful when you want to see what Zigbee messages a manufacturer’s hub is sending to a paired device when performing certain actions such as changing settings on the device. This could assist you in adding that
