Re: What have you tinkered with today?
None bike related tinkering.
Got a couple of sonoff devices, flashed them with Tasmato firmware, set up a MQTT broker, a small web server with PHP to talk MQTT, IFTTT to talk to the web server and.....
Hey Google, turn on the patio lights!
Then stuck openhab onto that server so I can now turn devices on/off from the phone as well!
Oh, the firewall that reverse proxies the IFTTT connection enforces encryption, the MQTT front end web site requires authentication. I also embed a key requirement. So reasonably secure.
The openhab is only accessible through a VPN outside of home so again reasonable secure. Lazy days ahead as I get smarter.
