The Flipper Zero has an app store now
The new app store lets you browse vetted third-party apps and install them to your Flipper Zero right from your phone.
I like this device despite not having a use for it. It’s an interesting combination of tools and can see potential with penetration testing and the like. I’m curious what other people’s take is, especially if they’ve been hands on with it.
It's been nice to copy hotel keys when I'm traveling. It really goes to show how easy it is.
But most of the time I just use it to emulate amiibos.
I also have a terrible remote for a ceiling fan. It eats through those super short batteries that are in garage door openers even if it's never used. I recorded those sub ghz and just use the flipper now.
How do you emulate devices? Point the remote at the flipper and it reads the signal? Do you set up a 'fan remote' module and program every button one by one?
If so, that actually sounds awesome. I don't have a tech heavy house, but sitting down for a movie requires 3 remotes (TV, sound bar, light dimmer). Being able to quickly do all 3 on one device would be great. Maybe not worth $170 alone, but I bet I could find many more uses.
If you have enough of those wireless fans, think about getting a bond bridge (check they're supported first though). I have mine for $99 and it's controlling every ceiling fan+light in the house, hooked up to homeassistant locally (no cloud involved).
I bought one not really knowing what I'd use it for.
Device seems well built and there's a huge community with lots of development so always something else to use it for.
I regret not backing the kickstarter for this device, considering how well received it's been. I had planned to and pulled out at the last minute
I did. But in the end the use I got out of this device is not much actually.
This makes waiting for mine to arrive even harder. Can’t wait!
I have one and I like toying around with it. Having a lil poke here and there.
