How to control the plug remotely #13

Hi,

Just wondering is there any way to control the plug through Internet? The code works for me in my home wifi, but I want to control the plug outside, just like the Kasa app.

Thanks!

Hey, my solution is using a public server connected to the same network as my plug. I use Pagekite to make my computer become accessible on the web, then I just created a php script that executes the python script to turn on or off my smart plug. Super easy

Hi, i use it without a public server. Just created an Apache instance with Django framework which executes the python code. Then i did a simple PortForward on my internet Firewall. Works perfect, but for security reasons i guess it's more like a disaster :-)
