**[https://www.reddit.com/r/wyzecam/comments/9fel0h/help_with_flashing_firmware_to_xiaomidafanghacks/ Help With Flashing Firmware to -"Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks"]

====Steps to actually get the silly thing flashed====

#Wipe the SD card clean! (gparted - Device - Create Partition Table)
#Create a 512MB FAT32 partition.
#Put demo.bin on the root of the card.
#Insert the card in the camera.
#Power up the camera with the setup button held. (hold until the light goes back to yellow...)

====Setting up the OS====

#Wipe the SD card clean! (gparted - Device - Create Partition Table)
#Create a FAT32 partition. (Size no longer matters... OS takes ~36MB)
#Copy all of the "WyzeCam OS" to this new partition.
#Insert the card in the camera.
#Power up the camera.

====MQTT Monitoring & Control====
So far, pretty much all of the MQTT documentation I've managed to find for using the MQTT capabilities [https://community.openhab.org/t/how-to-configure-a-hacked-xiaomi-dafang-to-work-with-openhab/51121/13 I have found by accident]... :(

(also: [https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks/blob/master/firmware_mod/scripts/mqtt-control.sh mqtt-control.sh])

In the following examples, the location (TOPIC) is "CamTest" & the device_name (PREFIX) is "WyzeCam" and my local MQTT server is "SkyNet". So, the MQTT topic will start with "CamTest/WyzeCam"

=====Monitoring=====
If you really want to watch ALL of the messages sent by the camera...

<code>mosquitto_sub -h SkyNet -t "CamTest/WyzeCam/#" -v</code>
