For vendors of ESP32-based IoT devices:

  Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.
> My intentions were solely to upgrade the smart device I've purchased to integrate with my smart home system. Doing so does not affect any other instances of this product or its cloud services.. sensitive product-specific data, such as private keys, domains, or API endpoints, have been obfuscated or redacted.

For owners of ESP32-based IoT devices:

  Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
> Creating an open-source project to de-cloud and debug smart home products; I've learned much more about the technical aspects.. I put a massive amount of effort into creating [this post].. probably more than.. the project itself. It would be amazing to receive feedback on the format!

You can avoid using Twitter web or app by using a (hopefully self hosted) Nitter instance.

No, just don't use Twitter please. It is still a website owned by a world destroying fascist.
