  1. Commercial Internet of Things (IoT) deployments are mostly closed-source systems that offer little to no flexibility to modify the hardware and software of the end devices. Once deployed, retrofitting such systems to an upgraded functionality requires replacing all the devices, which can be extremely time and cost prohibitive. End users cannot generally leverage deployed infrastructure to add their own sensors or custom data. However, we observe that IoT systems sometimes report battery voltage information to the cloud, and batteries are often user-serviceable. This indicates that perturbing the battery voltage to encode customized information could be a minimally invasive method to retrofit existing IoT devices.
