 Here is a short Python script to get all the interesting data from the device:

+===== Firmware hacking =====
+I have no interest in changing the firmware, since you can already get all data you need from the original firmware.
+But if you really want to know, the device supports OTA firmware update and there is a header with SWD on the PCB, although I was unable to connect with the cpu using OpenOCD.
