Not wanting to mess around with dynamic/duck dns and setting up LetsEncrypt SSL, I discovered the Dataplicity service, which would allow remote access to my RPi. My main purpose is to use IFTTT to connect to my RPi, so I can issue remote commands via Alexa/Google Home. Does anyone have a similar configuration? If I want IFTTT access to HA on my RPi, is it as simple as configuring Dataplicity, then remapping the REST API of HA to port 80 or do I need nginx to forward the port to 8123? (In which case, the setup of nginx in the HA docs also needed SSL setup, which I wanted to avoid doing). Anyone have a similar setup?
I have similar config. Currently Dataplicity maps external 443 to localhost 80 on your HA instance. I’ve installed nginx and forward requests from 80 to 8123. Installation is easy, there is a guide on Dataplicity site. I’ve modified it a little bit to correspond with HA requirements based on article on home-assistant site.
