Smart Plug Hacking: Switches Get Glitches

Did you know that a smart home device won't work if the internet goes out?­ƒÿ¼
Did you know that the commands you send them travel across the world--even if you're controlling them from your house?­ƒñö
Don't you think you should have a little more say in who and what is involved in how you control your property?­ƒÿñ­ƒÿñ­ƒÿñ

In our workshop, Ô£¿Switches Get GlitchesÔ£¿, we take an off-the-shelf smart switch, designed to control a wall outlet­ƒöî and monitors its energyÔÜí, and re-flash it with open-source┬áfirmware.­ƒÆ» We will guide you through disassembly, establishing a connection, flashing firmware, testing, and reassembly. You will also gain basic understanding of electronic hardware, logic-level communication, and python­ƒÉì scripting.


­ƒÜ¿­ƒÜ¿­ƒÜ¿YOU KEEP THE DEVICE AND ACCESSORIES AT NO COST.­ƒÜ¿­ƒÜ¿­ƒÜ¿

Only 30 devices provided on a first-come first-serve basis!!!
