HIKOBIKE vs Bit Switch

HIKOBIKE RIDE APP - Maps and Directions - Geofencing - Bike Shut down and Lockout - Motor Diaognostics

Bit Switch provides fast, private, and reliable local control for legacy WeMo devices — no cloud required. Discover devices on your local network, control switches and dimmers, view energy usage from Insight plugs, receive motion sensor state, and provision Wi‑Fi securely using AES-encrypted credentials for device setup. Full device support: switches, dimmers, light switches, Insight energy plugs, motion sensors, outdoor plugs, Maker devices, and bridges. Robust discovery: SSDP/UPnP discovery with M‑SEARCH reliable on-network detection. Secure provisioning: built-in Wi‑Fi setup with AES-128-CBC password encryption to keep credentials private during device configuration. Reliable control: improved GetBinaryState / SetBinaryState handling with clear status and error reporting. Usability: streamlined Wi‑Fi setup dialog, password visibility toggle, and status indicators for connection and handshake. Appearance: supports dark mode and refined themes for a modern, readable UI. Why Bit Switch Local-first: device discovery and control happen on your network — no cloud required or used for device control. Privacy-focused: provisioning uses AES encryption; credentials are never sent to external services. Practical: works with a wide range of legacy Belkin WeMo hardware still in the wild. What's New Improved SSDP/UPnP discovery for more reliable on-network detection. Enhanced Wi‑Fi provisioning flow with AES-128-CBC encryption of passwords. UI improvements: clearer Wi‑Fi setup flow, better error messages, and password visibility toggle. Better state handling for GetBinaryState / SetBinaryState calls. Dark mode and theme refinements. Compatibility & Privacy Devices and phone must be on the same Wi‑Fi network. Router must allow UDP multicast for SSDP discovery. Wi‑Fi scanning requires location permission; permissions are requested at runtime and used only for scanning and provisioning. No cloud account required; local network control only.
