So after review I am doing the following bellow.
I am using IOT Link (windows 10) + openhab (raspberry) with mosquitto that makes the mqtt link possible.
Hello Community,
I found this nice way to control a Windows PC through MQTT called IOTLink: https://gitlab.com/iotlink/iotlink
Expects the MQTT Binding and a MQTT Broker to be installed on your openHAB2!
Download the latest release: https://gitlab.com/iotlink/iotlink/-/releases
and install it. Make sure to install both Add-Ons!
Now open the folder “C:\ProgramData\IOTLink\Configs” and edit the “configuration.yaml”.
Put in your MQTT connection
Make sure addons are enabled
HomeAssistant disc…
One question about IOTlink… How safe/secure is it? If you enable commands addon, are you able to control to not allow some commands? Or even better, can you whitelist only commands you allow? Because I don’t feel safe giving this kind of access to my computer just to run few predefined commands… Of course one could lock down MQTT strictly, but you never know what mqtt device could be compromised and used to send malicious commands to the computer…
I can’t find anything about security on git wik…
