# Lippert OneControl - Complete Implementation Guide

## 🎉 Protocol FULLY REVERSED

All protocol details have been extracted from the decompiled source code. You can now build the Home Assistant integration **immediately** without waiting for April!

## Protocol Specification

### BLE UUIDs (CONFIRMED from DirectConnectionMyRvLinkBle.cs:28-34)
```
Service:    00000030-0200-A58E-E411-AFE28044E62C
Write Char: 00000033-0200-A58E-E411-AFE28044E62C
Read Char:  00000034-0200-A58E-E411-AFE28044E62C
Version:    00000031-0200-A58E-E411-AFE28044E62C
```

### Encoding (from DirectConnectionMyRvLinkBle.cs:44)
```csharp
CobsEncoder(prependStartFrame: true, useCrc: true, frameByte: 0, numDataBits: 6)
```

### Packet Structure (Unencoded)

**Before COBS encoding:**
```
[Seq (2 bytes, LE)] [CmdType (1)] [TableID (1)] [Payload...] [CRC8 (1)]
```

**Indexes (from MyRvLinkCommandActionSwitch.cs):**
- Bytes 0-1: Client Command ID (sequence)
- Byte 2: Command Type
- Byte 3: Device Table ID
- Byte 4: Device State (for ActionSwitch)
- Byte 5+: Device IDs

### Command Types (from MyRvLinkCommandType.cs)
```
GetDevices = 1
ActionSwitch = 64 (0x40)      - Lights, Pumps, Fans
ActionMovement = 65 (0x41)    - Awnings, Slides
ActionDimmable = 67 (0x43)    - Dimmable Lights
ActionRgb = 68 (0x44)         - RGB Lights
ActionHvac = 69 (0x45)        - HVAC/Climate
```

## Python Implementation

### 1. COBS + CRC8 Implementation

Based on `IDS.Portable.Common.COBS/CobsEncoder.cs` and `Crc8.cs`:

```python

            else:
                self.value = (self.value << 1) & 0xFF

## Testing Steps

### 1. Find Your Device
```bash
# Run scanner
python3 -c "
import asyncio
from bleak import BleakScanner

async def scan():
    devices = await BleakScanner.discover(timeout=10.0)
    for d in devices:
        print(f'{d.name}: {d.address}')

asyncio.run(scan())
"
```

### 2. Get Device IDs
Once connected, send GetDevices command to discover all your RV devices and their IDs.

### 3. Test Commands
Try turning lights on/off to verify the protocol works!

## Next Steps

1. **Test the Python client** with your RV (in April or now if you have access)
2. **Document device IDs** for your specific RV setup
3. **Build Home Assistant integration** using the templates in `HOME_ASSISTANT_INTEGRATION.md`
4. **Create config flow** for easy setup
5. **Publish to HACS** for the RV community!
