I reverse-engineered my BLE mesh lamp - which event should trigger my lamp to turn on? (lemmy.zip)

Hello,

I hope my question suits this community.

I've been working the past 72 hours reverse engineering an undocumented BLE mesh lamp. The process involved decompiling an apk, capturing bluetooth packets, checking how other people reverse engineered, checking and reading lots of related repositories, but finally (I'm so happy) it's working!

In simple terms: I can now fully control my ceiling lamp (color, brightness, on/off, white color temperature) with a Python script.

I was thinking about wrapping FastAPI around it to expose API endpoints and run it on my Raspberry Pi Zero and then use my laptop to turn on / off or change the color when something happens.

But which event or what should happen to turn the light on/off?

EDIT: If you own this lamp and you're actively searching for code repositories on Github regarding this lamp, you will find it. I just don't want to post a public link here.

Any and all noise to turn it on or off

That's an amazing idea! You know why? I don't snore :D
I could monitor audio and when a treshold is reached, turn on the lamp with a grace period.

The Cheat, we gave you that switch so you could turn the lights on and off. Not so you could throw light switch raves!
