[Bradford] Meeting notes

[David Spencer]

So, I have notes on the notes :)

The thermometers I got annoyed with are the Xiaomi LYWSD03MMC and the repo
for reflashing them is https://github.com/pvvx/ATC_MiThermometer (not
tuya-convert).

Fun fact, after six months of being unable to reflash the latest version
(as I mentioned), and one day before our meeting, the repo was updated with
an exploit that now permits over the air reflashing if you register in the
Xiaomi app (!) and sneak some IDs out of it.

I bet we would all rather do a bit of soldering than register with Xiaomi.

There is a similar but different Tuya device which eats batteries so badly
that you wouldn't want any even if they were easily flashable (and they are
not).

Hope this is clear now :)

-D.
