I like this device despite not having a use for it. It’s an interesting combination of tools and can see potential with penetration testing and the like. I’m curious what other people’s take is, especially if they’ve been hands on with it.
It's been nice to copy hotel keys when I'm traveling. It really goes to show how easy it is.
But most of the time I just use it to emulate amiibos.
I also have a terrible remote for a ceiling fan. It eats through those super short batteries that are in garage door openers even if it's never used. I recorded those sub ghz and just use the flipper now.
How do you emulate devices? Point the remote at the flipper and it reads the signal? Do you set up a 'fan remote' module and program every button one by one?
If so, that actually sounds awesome. I don't have a tech heavy house, but sitting down for a movie requires 3 remotes (TV, sound bar, light dimmer). Being able to quickly do all 3 on one device would be great. Maybe not worth $170 alone, but I bet I could find many more uses.
If you have enough of those wireless fans, think about getting a bond bridge (check they're supported first though). I have mine for $99 and it's controlling every ceiling fan+light in the house, hooked up to homeassistant locally (no cloud involved).
