Last year connected my whole home with RADIO RA2 (supposedly the best), only to discover that it wont integrate with anything. Good news is it has a robust TELNET interface.
So I wrote a quick bridge which connects to the telnet interface behind my firewall, and allows me to send any command through a published particle function.
Allows me to do full integration with IFTTT and so on.
Requires the latest 4.7 firmware with the TCPClient fixes (thanks whoever made those, I was banging my head against the wall most of the morning)…
Particle Photon ROCKS. Merry Xmas.
