# Open Steigen: documenting an appliance's local protocol

> Open Steigen documents the local control protocol of Steigen Automatic Laundry Systems, including readable and writable data points for rack movement, lights, fan and heater. Its pairing notes describe the appliance's Wi-Fi setup exchange; the author reports testing the Solar model with protocol v3.3.
