Onion Omega Dash, ESP8266 and umqtt

@Carey-Capaldi That's very cool! I automated my doggie door using Omega2S+ so mine is on a much smaller scale than yours
But now I'm using some AI to identify each of my dogs so I can keep track of who is inside and who is outside and who needs to go outside before bedtime etc. I have 4 dogs so I have a good sample group for this.Now maybe you can integrate some ANPR so your garage door will automagically open when you arrive.
My second thought was "I want to try to hack into that"
-
@crispyoz Hack into what? As far as ANPR this is on my list but for another reason.
Cool that you can track your dog disposition.
-
@Carey-Capaldi "Hack into what?". I find it interesting to bash MQTT brokers. It's amazing what you can access and what information you can glean.
Next time your garage door opens unexpectedly or your Buds are warm, consider if it is a random Aussie "managing" your tech

@crispyoz Now that you have me thinking about this, I did write up a public/private key system for rabbitMQ messages a couple years ago. I think it might be nice to port it over. Do you think this might be of interest? Each key is created individually by the user who sets it up and if you run over a secure transport protocol, it might be enough to secure a home IoT system.
-
@Carey-Capaldi I think any additional layer of security is worth doing, but most importantly change the root password
I listen into some various public MQTT brokers, I'm always amazed what information people expose as part of their testing.
-
@crispyoz I do that as part of the initial setup.

Just a quick update, The code has been running for a few months and seems to be stable. Today I added the code that automatically switches back to the first tab. I posted the demo code in another project just in case anyone is interested here is the link.

@Carey-Capaldi Awesome work! You should submit this to our Field Report contest with Crowd Supply and potentially win yourself some hardware as a prize!
-
@Carey-Capaldi deserves the prize, he's done great work developing this solution. He doesn't realise it but I'm already inside his Dash, so we can share the prize
-
@Carey-Capaldi Is communication over MQTT encrypted in your solution? Does 'umqtt' support TLS / TLS-PSK encryption at all?
-
@crispyoz Lol
-
@Lazar-Demin Submitted, checked and now officially posted.
-
@supczinskib Sorry for the delay, been working on another project. I managed to get ssl to work with the device and tested out a lot of the configuration options. I had an issue with the example and posted it along with a solution in another thread -> Setting up ssl/tls with mosquitto = "A TLS error occured" solution. Hope this answers your question.
