--- title: "MQTT at Home" date: 2020-10-28T21:32:53+02:00 draft: true description: "How I use MQTT at Home to connect stuff." tags: ["MQTT", "IoT", "Blog"] categories: ["Programming"] startpage: true lang: gb --- Ok i live in a small appartment, but at least I have three Window and a little bit stuff to connect with each other. I startes with [Ikea TRÅDFRI](https://www.ikea.com/de/de/cat/ikea-home-smart-beleuchtung-36812/) and some selfe made components based Arudino/Wemos. About one year ago I tried [zigbee2mqtt](https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/) to connect the ikea bulbs to MQTT without using my own buggy code. I used a MQTT-Broker on a Virtual Server somewhere in the internet and develop some PHP-Application with lumen (some of them running in kubernetes) to connect everything. I still use [Mqtt Dash](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.routix.mqttdash&hl=de&gl=US) at my Android Device do control most things.
