Aqara and Xiaomi Firmware grabbing without having the physical devices

[sorryusernameisalreadytaken]

I see here that the user @Otnow was able to download aqara firmwares without having the devices.

How is that possible? I know it could be a secret but having the latest fw's always would be nice. Why is there no chance to run a kind of checking service to push always the latest fw into z2m?

Yes, I was recently able to understand how you can get links to OTA files for Xiaomi/Aqara without having physical devices.

I need more time to try to get additional benefit from this method and after that I plan to publish the results of my research on this topic.

Thank you for clarifying

Should be nice also for the Xiaomi / Aqara temperature, humidity and pressure sensor WSDCGQ11LM. Current firmware is from 05-12-2019 so a new firmware could be bring fixes in the sometime troubles with refreshes i think.

@Otnow I don't think you need to place the results here. If you are worried that the "gap" will be closed by Xiaomi after the release, let's design a docker or something similar that runs on a server or raspberry-pi at home. With 3 or 4 people on private registy. This can then load images and firmwares from the servers and then provides the links in pr's for z2m, deconz and so on.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to update the firmware for WSDCGQ11LM, as it does not have an OTA function (no OTA cluster).

In addition to getting links to firmware, the found method provides additional features, so I will not hide it.
The work has slowed down but is still going on.

@Otnow did you post somewhere else or is this still the thread to watch? Thanks

Work is still in progress, so the result has not yet been published anywhere.
