Show HN: Easily connect your Arduino to your favorite internet apps
I'm building IFTT but for IoT devices. No monthly cost, just a one time deployment fee for the life of the device.
A simple MQTT interface to do all sorts of things such as:
- Open a lock from a Stripe payment event
- Upload images from your ESP32CAM to Google Drive
- Trigger a custom email based on a high sensor reading
- Log sensor readings to a Google Sheets document
Some other integrations that I have in progress:
- Manage your Spotify listening session with your device (play / pause / next / volume)
- Slack integration to trigger a message to your device when a new message comes in
- Google Calendar integration to trigger message when you have a meeting coming up
Does anyone have any other cool integration ideas they've been meaning to implement for their WiFi projects?
- spdustin 3y agoSo just to clarify, you've added an integration layer on top of MQTT so that MCUs can publish to a topic (for external actions) and subscribe to a topic (for MCU-driven actions)? 1. Do you have an "unexpected exit" strategy that would allow users to use their own broker, and self-host your integration layer? 2. How does the firmware/infra currently handle failed connections to MQTT? Are you using LWT? 3. Are you using retained messages and/or QoS to ensure subscribers understand the correct "state of the world" after a reconnection? 4. Does the MCU firmware support queueing messages on its own for delivery after a disconnection is resolved?
