WM 100 on the network
« on: February 08, 2018, 01:18:07 PM »

I'm curious. What is the device name of the WM 100 on your network? Is it ESP..(something)?

Yep. ESP and then what could be a six digit hexadecimal number.

The ESP indicates that the WM100 is using the ESP wi-fi chip there are several places on the web that describe how to flash this chip and to upload a new firmware to it.
Once you've done that all frequent updated to your new firmware can be done over the internet exactly how Authinix's manufacture is doing it now.
I did crack mine open to have a quick peak but never thought to look for the pins which allow for flashing the firmware.
I'm sure it is just a matter of time before someone flashes the WM100 with a custom firmware unlocking the vast potential of this device.

During my testing I noticed this display using an advanced port scanner when I was attempting to possibly hack into the WM100.
This was initially confusing me as I had a few itead Sonoff modules which reported the same ESP_(different hex string).
I have hacked one Sonoff module with different firmware to allow local control if the internet is down.
 -:) It might be worth a hardware/software gurus time to crack one of these puppies open and playing with some different firmware. ;)

I'm not sure it's worth the effort. They seem to be using one of the Espressif chips for WiFi only with another processor doing the rest.

Interestingly there is open source smartphone code for the ESPif on GitHub

The ESP chip, a 64-pin MCU and an 8-pin (memory chip?) are all on a daughterboard so it might be possible to replace it with one having different capabilities while retaining the new, improved power/PLC section.

The readme on GitHub may shed some light on what the WM100 protocol may entail.
