11:51 PM Jymmm: I might just need to make an android app to listen on the lan
11:51 PM zhanx: Jymmm, it was cheaper to use a third party aka google via an esp8266 to do it for me
11:51 PM zhanx: and easier
11:51 PM zhanx: took me like 2 hours to handshake etc and done
11:52 PM Jymmm: I'll be using esp8266 as well
11:53 PM Jymmm: The lan is always up, the internet not so much
11:53 PM zhanx: 99% of the time mine is up
11:54 PM zhanx: Jymmm, when i started i was using nodejs or this or that, turned out easier to just post an email to google to my phone for it
11:54 PM Jymmm: something like this I guess (the service is down though) https://simplepush.io/blog/2017/01/29/esp8266-encrypted-notifications/
11:55 PM zhanx: will that work when your not home?
11:55 PM zhanx: wait that is third party also
11:55 PM Jymmm: I mena the the app (or something like it) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.tymm.simplepush
