Reverse engineered bearer/bridge implementation of the CSRMesh BTLE protocol including all necessary cryptographic and packing routines required to send valid packets over a CSRMesh BTLE network. This particular implementation currently supports the CSRMesh lighting API and the MOVE controller, it has been succssfully tested with a pair of Feit HomeBrite smart LED bulbs and a Teptron MOVE. However, the implemtation of other CSRMesh APIs should be quite straightforward if needed. This implementation now supports sending packets to multi-device mesh networks as well as addressing devices by either device ID or group ID.
csrmesh-cli {lightbulb,move} [-h] --pin (4 digit pin) --dest (destination BTLE address)
[--level LEVEL] [--red RED] [--green GREEN] [--blue BLUE] [--objid OBJID] [--position POSITION]All lighting levels are represented using numbers from 0 (off) to 255 (maximum). The Teptron MOVE controller position is specified as 0 (up) to 255 (down).
Object ID's are specified via the following syntax:
Addressing examples:
Bulb/Device 5 -> --objid 5
Group 3 -> --objid -3
Broadcast -> --objid 0 (or omit the --objid option)The 128 bit network key used in CSRMesh networks is derived by concatenating the ASCII representation of the PIN with a null byte and the string 'MCP', computing the SHA256 hash of the string, reversing the order of the bytes in the resulting hash, and taking the first 16 bytes as the key.
Packets sent to CSRMesh devices require authentication as well as encryption. All multibyte types are represented in little endian format. To form a valid packet, the sequence/nonce value, constant 0x0080, and 10 null bytes are concatenated together to form a 128 bit initialization vector (IV). This IV, as well as the network key derived earlier is then used to initialaize AES-128 in OFB mode. The arbitrary length data payload is then encrypted using this AES-OFB instance to form the encrypted payload. Next, a message authentication code is computed using HMAC-SHA256, using the network key as the secret, of the following data: 8 null bytes, sequence number, constant 0x80 and encrypted payload. The order of the bytes in the resulting hash are then reversed and the hash truncated to 8 bytes. The final output packet can then be built by contatenating the sequence/nonce value, constant 0x80, encrypted payload, truncated HMAC, and the constant 0xff.
Packets are then sent via the Bluetooth LE GATT protocol. To send a packet, the data must be written to two write only handles, for Feit HomeBrite lightbulbs that is 0x0011 and 0x0014 for the Teptron MOVE that is 0x0021. If the packet is longer than 20 bytes, the first 20 bytes first are written to the first handle and then the remaining bytes are written to the handle with an address increased by 3 (e.g. handle 0x0011 +3 = 0x0014).
The Teptron MOVE supports a set of commands, all commands seem to use the 0x0021 handle and 0x73 prefixed before the command itself (this number is also present in the lightbulb commands, we don't know the origin of it). A list of commands for the MOVE is available here: http://www.teptron.com/MOVE_UART_Commands_ver1.0.pdf
