If the socket integrated into the network, it is permanently connected to an external server that is not can be localized (Reverse DNS). This method is required to access outside the local network on the tin can. However, there also flow data from the internal LAN to the unknown servers over which one has no control. Suspicious to the app is required during installation and by the extensive rights. A pure client-server solution with port forwarding would be significantly more trustworthy here.
Switching the can works both in the LAN and from the mobile network properly.
Benefits:
- Remote control works reliably
- Remote control also works outside the local network
- Feedback on the current switching state (no dummy circuit as Funksteckdosen)
- WLAN coverage sufficient
- Low price
Disadvantages:
- Establishment laboriously
- Dose is permanently connected to an external server (security aspect)
- No web interface (operation only possible app)
- Dose high simple design
- Grounding is not performed, only limited suitability for shock-proof plug
- App asking too many rights
- Errors in the app: In the Scene Editor can not adjust the seconds
