…through a port scan we discovered out you can really see all the commands that are being sent to the kettle from the app on TCP/IP port 2000. The kettle likewise sent back updates when it altered its state. To see these commands we monitored the port utilizing the tool Wireshark when sending the commands through the wise phone.

And voila! A easy individual interface enables you to choose your preferred temperature as well as make a cuppa, we likewise incorporated a timer so lunch time is started by the kettle boiling – a true wise kettle!
