Description
French ISP Free was providing a wifi webcam which would integrate with their alarm offering but could only be used with one version of their fiber modem.
I've switch to a new generation of modem and the alarm offering is gone but I still own the webcam which is not usable anymore.
Goals
Try to get access to the webcam feed (either reprovision it or access its video feed) to integrate it on Home Assistant.

Did a lot of research on this webcam. This is a Sercomm RC8310 with a modified firmware from the ISP to handle initial SSID connection and authentication.
Unfortunately, once the camera is associated, the password to access all its data is only accessible from an API from fiber modem but the api is apparently not available anymore on more recent version of the fiber modem from the ISP.
The camera is currently working fine, properly connected to my Wifi network, its webserver is responding but I can't do anything with it without the password and I couldn't either reset it to change its password.
I've opened a ticket at the ISP to get access to the api on recent modem, https://dev.freebox.fr/bugs/task/40697
I'll close this project as complete (ie failed) for now

Expand home assistant support for Freebox / Iliadbox modem by fcrozat
Description
My ISP (Free) fiber modem (Freebox) has a pretty rich API to control and monitor it.
It is currently supported in Home Assistant but not to the full extend of the available API, including additional Wifi repeaters.
Goals
Adding support for Wifi repeaters linked to the ISP modem in Home Assistant.

Smart-Home Reverse Engineering and Automation by pstivanin
Description
This project focuses on expanding smart-home automation by reverse-engineering several closed systems, developing missing integrations, and unifying them into a fully automated Home Assistant environment. The work includes protocol analysis, custom API design, and deep automation logic, combined with improvements to monitoring and camera workflows. The outcome will be a coherent ecosystem with enhanced control, transparency, and automation for heating, circulation, security, and access systems.
