Could you build this?

Partial Writing ESP8266 MQTT firmware for Home Assistant is straightforward, but reverse-engineering the physical body-fat scale's hardware and sensor communication requires hardware bench skills.

What it would actually take: The firmware is built using C++/Arduino or ESPHome running on an ESP8266 microcontroller connected via MQTT to Home Assistant. The hard part is physical PCB disassembly, tracing pinouts, capturing bus communication with a logic analyzer, and reverse-engineering the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) sensor formulas. This requires embedded electronics and hardware reverse-engineering skills.
