HLK-FR1002 Facial Recognition

Browsing AliExpress (as a one does) i came across this cheap board

I’ve ran some tests using the demo software and it seems to do what it says on the tin and within 1 second can recognise my face and 6 others i’ve programmed in

I want to take this to the next level and integrate ESP home but have no idea where to start with its UART interface the documentation and demo software is here I’ve google translated it to English here

Hoping someone can help me out (don’t even mind ordering another 1 or 2 for people who could help)

The docs for the supported device are here https://github.com/Chreece/FaceRec_BTHome/tree/master/resources

It would pay to compare them.

I’ve forked the code off and added some preliminary support for the FR1002 i can send and receive data from the device, just struggling to decode the replies from Hex to ASCII

This breaks down to
Head EF AA
Type 00
Data Length 00 26
Response Command 12
Error code 00
Data Content 00 01 4A 6F 6E 6E 79 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 68

Using a Bytes to ASCII converter the Data Content comes out at Jonny. Just not sure how to progress in modifying the code to decode the replies

And I would like to take control of the FR1002 module.
I bought a smart door lock.
And I’m missing a lot of features.
I would like to take control of all functions.

There is no data on the ML9616 chip on the Internet…
