Case study

LocalAC: local Gree air-conditioner control from protocol research

LocalAC reconstructs local control of a Gree Pular T3 air conditioner through its LAN protocol. The author documents UDP port 7000 discovery, a bind handshake, AES-GCM command envelopes and property behavior measured on one firmware version. A C# protocol library supports a CLI and .NET MAUI app for status, temperature and other controls.
