Packet Capture of Etekcity Outlet Setup

[walkention]

Hi! Great work on this project! I saw in the ReadMe that you were looking to get the packet data that's transmitted to the outlet during setup while the outlet is in AP mode. I got a capture of the data below:

Packet sent to plug: {"uri":"\/beginConfigRequest","wifiID":"myssid","wifiPassword":"mywifipassword","account":"[email protected]","wifiBssid":"aa:bb:cc:11:22:33","key":123456789,"serverIP":"104.200.30.164","ip":"","wifiGateway":"","wifiDNS":""}

• The wifiBssid is the mac address of the wifi AP with myssid.
• The account field is the email used for my etekcity account.
• The key seems to be something that is related to my etekcity account but I'm not 100% sure.
• The serverIP seems to be the server the plug talks to for requests. It resolves as a Linode-US machine that seems to be on par with the other requests that the VeSync app sends request to.

Packet reply from plug: %{"uri":"/beginConfigReply","err":"0"}

Hopefully this helps create a way to set up these devices without the need of the app. I'm going to grab your code and set it up and see if I can help modify it to include the ability to setup a device put into AP mode.

Oops forgot to mention that the packet capture software I was using says it's a TCP transmission to 192.168.4.1 on port 41234. There is also an initial packet sent to the plug before the data above with just a hex e0.

Did you get the proxy working? The OP is not responding to anything but I'd like to get it working if possible. I will try to use wireshark myself on my outlet next week while I'm on vacation.

@TonyApuzzo I haven't set it up yet (the holidays have been distracting me). I hope over the break I can get something setup and try to add-on the additions for setting up the device to point to the local proxy. Ideally I would like to have it be stand-alone locally with no proxy, but that might take some doing. I'll keep you posted.

I was trying to play around with this. I got it setup, i see activity from the device and the cloud in the console screen. I'm not sure how to interact with this to make it actually do anything?

Edit: Found how to interact, but I'm getting errors:

You need to specify the param id=<id-of-outlet>.
