Your wallbox from the tram
Hans shows how an old Android phone at home and Awacino on his iPhone let him start the car charger on the way home - and open the garage for Rita.
Hans about Awacino
- What I like
- Wallbox, home cam and garage door are all reachable from the tram with one tap.
- Use case
- I use Awacino to start charging the car and to check on my home before I get there.
- What works better than with alternative solutions
- No open port on my router, no VPN and no manufacturer cloud - my phone connects directly into my home network, end-to-end encrypted.
Step by step
Step 1The wallbox in the garage
Hans's wallbox only answers inside his home network. He wants no open port, no VPN and no risk on his router.
Step 2An old phone stays at home
His old Android phone hangs on the wall as home cam. He installs Awacino from Google Play and signs in with Google - it shows up as HomeCam1_Android.
Step 3Awacino on the iPhone
On his iPhone: Awacino from the App Store, the same Google account - and HomeCam1_Android is already in his list.
Step 4Beam out from the tram
On the tram he taps Connect on HomeCam1_Android and beams into its network. His iPhone gets a SituIP at home - direct and end-to-end encrypted.
Step 5The wallbox app answers
The wallbox app works as if he were in the garage. Only: the cable is not plugged into the car.
Step 6Open the garage for Rita
He asks Rita to plug in the cable and opens the garage door for her - from the tram as well.
Step 7The car is charging
Home cam, wallbox and garage door: everything at home is reachable from anywhere, without a single open port.
