Development

Running Homebridge with this plugin:

yarn testharness

Inspecting packets between the MagicHome app and the device to reverse engineer the LEDENET protocol:

yarn util proxy-discovery # This allows the MagicHome app to detect your computer as a device 
yarn util proxy-cmds # This proxies commands between your compiter and your LEDENET device
