From the post: "With the increase in popularity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their need to communicate wirelessly, there’s been a corresponding explosion of wireless protocols to chose from. Of course there’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but for more specialized applications there are some other options like Z-Wave, LoRa, Sigfox, and Thread. There’s a decent amount of overlap in their capabilities too, so when [SHS] was investigating some low-cost Xiaomi sensors it was discovered that it is possible to convert them from their general purpose Bluetooth protocol over to the more IoT-specialized Zigbee protocol instead."

No thanks.

I don't need some more spying devices.

Yeah, Having a custom firmware that is not from the company and lets you run local-only is nice though. That's what this accomplishes.

Can you disassemble said firmware and check that?

Yeah, the project for the custom firmware is OSS. You can modify it or compile it yourself and don't have to rely on a blob. One of the projects: https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer
