Case study

vclights: reconstructing VC-BLELIGHT lamp commands

vclights reconstructs VC-BLELIGHT lamp control from the Raingel Android app's BLE commands. Its Python client sets power, brightness, color and firmware modes, while protocol notes identify GATT services, write characteristics and opcode payloads; camera-based observations document device responses and color limits.
