Wow! Nice work. I’m looking to add this device to my homebridge running on rpi to so it can warm up my kettle in the morning. Need it to follow my espresso machine on/off schedule with a slight delay so it doesn’t draw too many amps from same outlet and trip my breaker.

Eventually would like to read temp of scale and use it to stop my espresso shot at designated weight. I already installed a Shelly switch in espresso machine so that is hooked up to homebridge and apple HomeKit.

Any luck sending commands to turn it on/off?

Connecting to its BLE (GATT) service causes it to turn on, have you tried doing that? Not sure how that would affect the initial calibration weighting though
