Interface with Home Connect appliances in Python
This is a very, very beta interface for Bosch-Siemens Home Connect devices through their local network connection. Unlike most IoT devices that have a reputation for very bad security, BSG seem to have done a decent job of designing their system, especially since they allow a no-cloud local control configuration. The protocols seem sound, use well tested cryptographic libraries (TLS PSK with modern ciphres) or well understood primitives (AES-CBC with HMAC), and should prevent most any random attacker on your network from being able to take over your appliances to mine cryptocurrency.
WARNING: This tool not ready for prime time and is still beta!
Setup
pip3 -r requirements.txt
Install the Python dependencies; the sslpsk one is a little weird
and we might need to revisit it later.
Authenticate to the cloud servers
hc-login $USERNAME $PASSWORD > config.json
The hc-login script perfoms the OAuth process to login to your
Home Connect account with your usename and password. It
receives a bearer token that can then be used to retrieves
a list of all the connected devices, their authentication
and encryption keys, and XML files that describe all of the
features and options.
This only needs to be done once or when you add new devices; the resulting configuration JSON file should be sufficient to connect to the devices on your local network, assuming that your mDNS or DNS server resolves the names correctly.
Home Connect to MQTT
hc2mqtt config.json
This tool will establish websockets to the local devices and transform their messages into MQTT JSON messages. The exact format is likely to change; it is currently a thin translation layer over the XML retrieved from cloud servers during the initial configuration.
Dishwasher
The dishwasher has a local HTTPS port open, although attempting to connect to
the HTTPS port with curl results in a cryptic protocol error
due to the non-standard cipher selection, ECDHE-PSK-CHACHA20-POLY1305.
PSK also requires that both sides agree on a symetric key,
so a special hacked version of sslpsk is used to establish the
connection and then hand control to the Python websock-client
library.

Clothes washer
The clothes washer has a local HTTP port that also responds to websocket
traffic, although the contents of the frames are AES-CBC encrypted with a key
derived from HMAC(PSK,"ENC") and authenticated with SHA256-HMAC using another
key derived from HMAC(PSK,"MAC"). The encrypted messages are send as
binary data over the websocket (type 0x82).
