# XY Remote: reconstructing XinYi amplifier BLE control

> XY Remote reconstructs BLE control for XinYi Sinilink amplifier boards in an iOS app and Swift library. Protocol notes derived from the vendor Android app's Hermes bytecode describe GATT service AE00, frame assembly, checksums, commands and the connection handshake. The author reports testing against app logic and a simulated amplifier.
