LIFX notes

This is just a set of notes, mostly to myself, of links to (highly unofficial) information about LIFX.

Teardowns:

http://www.contextis.com/resources/blog/hacking-internet-connected-light-bulbs/
http://sixes.net/rdcHQ/lab/lightmapping/lifx.html (scroll to the end for links to pictures)
https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=2136697

That last one is a tricky one. The link only works when the referer is this. So, for example:

curl -o lifx-internal-photos.pdf -e \
  'https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=216608&fcc_id=2AA53-LIFX01' \
  'https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=2136697'

Gee, thanks, FCC!

LIFX uses Contiki-OS:

Firmware authentication mechanism:

Annoyingly, LIFX just deleted their forums:
