I've been working through my first ESP8266 project, thanks to the great wisdom of this forum!
Since my occupation is an API engineer for a software company, I succeeded in creating a Google Actions (Smart Home) compatible API server that successfully communicates with my ESP modules for relay control and the like.
Since I have the API built in a scaleable way (user accounts, proper OAuth2 setup, etc...), I thought this would be a perfect platform for others to build ESP8266 programs that use the API that I have built to directly control their devices with the Google Actions API ("Hey Google, flip that switch!").
If anyone is interested in seeing what I have so far, testing it out, or helping me develop, please either PM me or post on this thread. I am mainly writing this to see if there is interest out there and if this is something worth investing my time in creating for the benefit of others.
Best regards,
Luca
