![]() ![]() Users would be able to use a Mac (even if it was a friend’s) to generate registration data for Beeper Cloud or Beeper Mini and keep the iMessage service running. ![]() Beeper’s current plan to restore service is using a Mac, but the company is now launching a new method that also uses jailbroken iPhones.Įarlier this week, Beeper confirmed that it would enable a new Mac-based system to get around Apple’s efforts to block the service. We’ve got TinyML running on ESP for facial recognition for Christs sake.Beeper Mini was a huge deal in the fight to bring iMessage to Android, but Apple swiftly turned the reverse-engineered method into an inconsistent experience for users. We would then be far beyond this issue of person detection because we’ve already solved it on many other platforms…ESP32 camera apps already have built-in person detection. If companies like Wyze opened up some of their firmware to modding, the community could help with the development and issues. I have products from many of the major players in my home, and every one has had to be hacked or re-flashed just to communicate on a standard protocol. MQTT is the standard for home automation communication, and has been for years, and any company not publishing event data via MQTT or other messaging platform has no chance of lasting. Not only that, but they then use proprietary protocols and firmware making it impossible for the devices from other companies to communicate. And certainly you shouldn’t have to hand over your wifi network details, which then go into said cloud, to be able to access features that should be 100% local (huge privacy bill looming there). Nobody should be forced to use the cloud to use features, period. Every company wants you to have an account, give them your wifi info, and then sign up for services which make the platform as a whole, insecure. The absolute worst thing going on right now with Wyze is happening at every company involved in the home automation revolution: cloud control. Personally I’d rather wait for my security. Streaming a video feed is pretty straightforward, because they’re still just data packets, but it’s not the request-response paradigm that the web makes use of, it’s a real-time stream, so noise, pollution, and security are issues that need to be addressed.įor a company like Wyze, you cannot just plug things in and expect them to work…this is people’s private data, and these are IP-based cameras. And anyone whose ever worked in the software industry will tell you, the sales people will sell the idea long before you’ve finishing feasibility testing. You don’t just trust a company like Google because they say it’s fine. The web layer sits on top of the networking layers to give you access to data.Īlso, this has just come out of beta, so there is should be a big investigation needed into security, before any company should be willing to put their reputation on the line. Networking and networking protocols were around for a very long time before the “web”. This is not a “web” anything, it’s a networking protocol. ![]() ![]() I can create a client in Python (also not a web technology), and connect to a camera streaming over the correct protocol from an application coded in C (again, not a web technology). There doesn’t even need to be a website for this to work because it’s not a “website” technology, it’s a networking protocol. I often wonder how many people in these forums are actually engineers in the IT industry.įirst of all, it’s not just as simple as porting it to HTML5 because it’s not a website issue. ![]()
