Configuring the IOTstack
We will have to do some configurations to put IOTstack to work as a Home Automation Stack. The following configurations will be required:
- Raspberry Pi static IP configuration
- Accessing and configuring the container software applications
- MQTT server configuration in Tasmota devices
- Configuring Home Assistant in IOTstack
We will discuss each of them in the next subsections.
Raspberry Pi static IP configuration
The first configuration we will have to do to run the Home Automation Stack properly is to set up a static IP in Raspberry Pi. We will see that making the IP static on Raspberry Pi will help with accessing the software applications and also configuring the MQTT server address for sensors and actuators. To configure the static IP, you have to execute the following steps:
- Open a terminal console in your Raspberry Pi and find the IP address of your router by using the following command and hitting Enter:
ip r | grep...
