ATC_MiThermometer VS Nginx Proxy Manager

I want to do a little IOT project where I establish a MQQT-Broker on my Raspberry Pi and send it readings from my measurement devices (xiaomi Mijia-LYWSD03MMC). The plan is for these devices to connect to my ESP32, allowing me to transfer data to the broker on the Pi. I've successfully connected my ESP32 to my Wi-Fi and to my broker, but I'm experiencing significant difficulties in connecting it to my two measurement devices. I have essentially followed the instructions provided in this GitHub repository (https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer) as best as I could. I also checked some other repos but they didn't really help me as they were too big/complex...

If you get off WiFi and on Bluetooth: https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer They last a year with a single CR2032 which is hard to do with WiFi.

I then copied this Python script to the Raspberry Pi 4 and was able to read the temperature and humidity! (https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer/tree/master/contrib/python)

I’m using 16pcs Xiaomi Thermometer LYWSD03MMC BLE thermometer around the house with custom ROM from here https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer

I use the Xiaomi (pronounced Show Me) Mi Temperature and Humidity monitors (version 2) and flash the firmware with a 'open source' version (here or the older one here). I've found battery life good (8 months + with the newer software on one sensor) and bar from one corrupt display (right next to an outdoor electricity feed - well the box is handy and dry) then they have just run and run and run.

The thermometers in screenshot are Xiaomi Thermometer LYWSD03MMC with ATC custom firmware. Their bluetooth broadcast data collected by some cheap chinese ESP32 board and ESPHome addon in Home Assistant.

You can replace their firmware with one which is more open and broadcasts the values without needing to connect to the device: https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer

I discovered these 3 amazing projects recently:

Cryptpad, essentially google docs/sheets/forms e2e encrypted. It does include collaboration. https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad

Immich, google photos self hostable, with share options https://github.com/immich-app/immich

Nginxproxymanager manages certificates and proxies to self hosted stuff through nginx https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager

Great self hosting stuff!

Nginx Proxy Manager

Take a look at NginxProxyManager. This would give you the opportunity to put everything in the form of service1.domain.com , service2.domain.com ,etc.

Prime example: Nginx Proxy Manager is often recommended in the sub. The latest minor release came with breaking changes (so already ignoring semver). I bet you many people were running on latest and then had broken stuff: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/releases/tag/v2.10.0

I started looking into how to make add dynamic IPs to NPM access lists. I came across a couple of GitHub issues (1, 2) on the topic. It looks like people have solved the problem, but not in a complete way without modifying the NPM docker image. I did not want to do that, so decided looking into writing a separate script.

Here is the (NPM) GitHub issue where the "fork of a fork" image came into existence (lepresidente/nginx-proxy-manager). It has some interesting discussions about the challenges of having NPM and CrowdSec coexist and cooperate.

Agree with this, myQ is such a dumpster fire. It needs to have an the ability to be managed over the local network instead of requiring the garage door and app connect to their server.

My very first experience with myQ was figuring out that their IP blocklist provider, brightcloud, blocks anything with the word "proxy" - including the default "it works" page for Nginx Proxy Manager [1]. And they have no way of overriding this to actually provide service if someone turns out to be a legitimate customer.

Edit: If you're using Nginx Proxy Manager there seems to be open PR for support for proxy protocol https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/pull/1882 however in the comments there's a name of repository with this PR merged.
