One person and Claude revived a sleep-hardware product that a $40M-funded company abandoned ten years ago
A 187-upvote r/ClaudeAI post links a full writeup of a month of firmware and protocol work bringing a dead sleep device back to life, including finding a race condition in the original firmware that made software updates unreliable. The thread turned into a hardware-hacking inspiration thread, with users describing Flipper Zero signal capture plus ESP32 replay for RF blinds and reclaiming an Amazon Echo Wall Clock. The author is candid that Claude wrote the technical paragraphs and generated the tables, which is worth noting when reading the writeup itself.
