Wireless Weightscale from Withings for Bwired

Post by Bwired »

Last week I received a WIFI (Wireless 802.11g) demo weight scale from http://www.withings.com.

The scale looks absolutely great and has a very nice design!

Image

Installing is very easy, just plugin the USB Cable go the withings website and follow the installation guide. The scale and router settings are automatically set from the website (WEP/WPA/WPA2-personal security)

You have a personal secure website with Withings and there is also an API tool available at
http://www.withings.com/en/api to get the data automatic from the website to your own environment.

I have been discussing this option with the supplier and asked him why not a sort of IP notification so geek like us can receive the readings realtime in our own applications or website. Withings promised this option to be available very soon (lets hope!)

There is also a free Iphone app available

ITO Invisible electrodes
Fat mass
Lean mass
Body mass index

Instant weigh-in by getting on the scale
Automatically turns on and off
Automatic user recognition
Comparison to reference values dictated by doctors

Nice, i looked at this once, but there was no option to hook it up (you need there service) but then again for now there is nothing wrong with the oregon scale ;)

If i had this scale to test, i would sniff the traffic and look in to the packets that are send and if it's based on a FQDN destination host, i would write my own service and add the FDQN host in my DNS server.

Agree the Oregon has a direct link to my own system, but If the IP notifications comes......
@mgizmo: Tell me how to sniff my router and I will try, otherwise contact me.

I think you would need to look for DNS queries in outgoing connections for xyz.withings.com or other unusual hostnames with Wireshark. Although i'm not really good at these things that would be my first try.

Do you have tcpdump available on your router?

The problem with Wireshark is, you have to make your network traffic pass your Wireshark computer, unless you can make a monitor port on your switch/router.

Or put your Wifi Access Point and PC with Wireshark on the same collission domain, that should work i think (it used to)

Maybe you can find some information about setting up a span or mirror port on your draytek (e.g. http://www.retrevo.com/r/23281bh938/29/Mirror/). Then you could run Wireshark on that port.

Hmm Wifi is a hub. It should work sniffing if Wireshark is on the same Access Point.

I don't know about encryption though.

(I am used to have access to the right places on the network. :-) )
