HomeConnect is a home IoT automation solution with the intent to let you control devices around the house using your browser. All you need to get started is a Raspberry Pi and some ESP8266 microcontrollers. The web API should let you easily extend this beyond just a web brofwser, maybe even an Amazon Alexa or a mobile app. The project relies on MQTT as the communication protocol between the pi and esp866. The web application is built using Flask.
