Introduction
This page is about reverse engineering the BT-785, an inexpensive Tuya-compatible water electrical conductivity (EC) meter. It measures EC and temperature, and has a display and communicates its reading over Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) to the Tuya app on a phone. The goal is to understand the communication protocol so we can communicate with it from the raspberry pi in the Karaburan project.
Analysis
On the lowest level, it uses bluetooth low-level with the GATT profile on the right:
Most important seem two characteristics:
- 00000002-0000-1001-8001-00805f9b07d0: module to phone, notifies of data from the EC meter
- 00000001-0000-1001-8001-00805f9b07d0: phone to module, we write data to the EC meter
The meter connects to the Tuya app on a phone. Data transfer is encrypted.
While the tuya app is running, we can see notifications coming in, for example:
00 31 46 05 36 46 B1 F5 36 55 B2 56 34 E1 B3 C9 13 33 0A D9 17 E8 FE 4F 5C 9A 70 CE DB 26 A6 17 22 CC DF 65 7D F7 0D 01 02 0A 33 45 B0 C1 A5 A8 42 F5 C1 B2
