Technical Details

what runs on :3610

IANA assigns port 3610 to ECHONET over TCP and UDP. In common ECHONET Lite deployments, devices communicate over UDP on port 3610, including local discovery using multicast; the TCP assignment does not mean TCP is the usual transport. ECHONET Lite messages use a binary frame with a header, transaction ID, source and destination object codes, a service code, and property data. The base protocol does not encrypt traffic.

security overview

The base protocol provides no encryption, and reachable devices may expose appliance status or accept control commands. Keep port 3610 on trusted, segmented home or building networks; do not forward it directly to the internet. Although internet-wide scans have not commonly observed it open, an exposed device could still be probed or controlled by a remote party.
