IoT Unravelled Part 2: IP Addresses, Network, Zigbee, Custom Firmware and Soldering

Troy Hunt

So, peeling back that next layer, the whole IoT space isn't just about devices that get their own IP address on your network and talk over TCP (or UDP). Let's drill into all that and then go deeper into custom firmware and soldering too. IoT and IP Addresses So, what happens when you start filling your home with IoT things?

IoT Unravelled Part 3: Security

Troy Hunt

In part 1 of this series, I posited that the IoT landscape is an absolute mess but Home Assistant (HA) does an admirable job of tying it all together. I also looked at custom firmware and soldering and why, to my mind, that was a path I didn't need to go down at this time. Now for the big challenge - security. Let's dive into it.

IoT Unravelled Part 1: It's a Mess. But Then There's Home Assistant

Troy Hunt

With the benefit of hindsight, this was a naïve question: Alright clever IoT folks, I've got two of these garage door openers, what do you reckon the best way of connecting them with Apple HomeKit is? Instead, I found myself heading down the rabbit hole into a world of soldering, custom firmware and community-driven home automation kits.
