YourOwnWeigh is an open-source tool by developer Tom Anthony that patches Withings smart scale firmware over Bluetooth. The patch sends health metrics to a user's own server instead of Withings cloud, avoiding the Withings Plus subscription now required for third-party sync. It can run on a free Cloudflare account and imports existing user profiles. The post gives no firmware or protocol details.
