Are there any brands of smart switch (smart lights, smart sockets,
smart plugs, whatever) which offer simple Linux interfaces? I don't have a 'smart' phone because I don't get on with them but I do just about always have my laptop with me. Also a major use of a smart switch for me wouild be operating/resetting devices on my boat in France remotely and I would want to do that from my desktop machine at home. -- Chris Green -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

Do you actually mean smart or intefaced to a computer for computer control? I was going to look for a lot of USB relays and even power supplies or cheap lab equipment so curious what you find. I'm currently using a laptop for remote monitoring and the connectivity and power can be issues. I interface using email- I wrote my own replacement for procmail and will soon eliminate fetchmail using a neomutt library along with libetpan. It is mentioned in passing here, as MikeMail, https://www.linkedin.com/posts/marchywka_adding-artwork-activity-6748265617696059392-b3Ej the current version allows a lot of control but may not be too secure yet although using email is nice for a lot of reasons. You can send a zip file containing arbitrary code but it needs to be signed with a public key available on the destination machine. Its kind of fun, as you could imagine trying to talk to a satellite or deep space probe lol. And if you have any use for a quantiative diary, the main focus of that link, feel free to express interest in Muqed. > > -- > Chris Green > > -- > ubuntu-users mailing list > [hidden email] > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users -- mike marchywka 306 charles cox canton GA 30115 USA, Earth [hidden email] 404-788-1216 ORCID: 0000-0001-9237-455X -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

Typically what do they do for remote control? So they connect to your LAN Wi-Fi
and then how do you access them from outside the LAN? note new address Mike Marchywka 306 Charles Cox Drive Canton, GA 30115 2295 Collinworth Drive Marietta GA 30062. formerly 487 Salem Woods Drive Marietta GA 30067 404-788-1216 (C)<- leave message 989-348-4796 (P)<- emergency ________________________________________ From: ubuntu-users <[hidden email]> on behalf of Thomas Kaiser <[hidden email]> Sent: Sunday, December 27, 2020 10:10 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: Smart switch software for Linux/Ubuntu - is there anything available?
