ESP Home vs MQTT

ESP Home is a general framework for controlling an IoT (internet of things) device from mobile. ESP Home App uses your JavaScript files to connect and control the interface. You design sections and rows and then control them from JavaScript. All design tasks can be done on www.esphome.app in user area. ESP Home hosts your data and JavaScript files. Once you logged into the App, your files will be synchronized with the server and when you select a device on the list in app, JavaScript of that device will be run and starts working. You connect to the real device for API commands from within JavaScript files.

The app has a control range with the ability to control between zero and five lights and doors, depending on the use case. By means of a red-green indicator, the user is shown the connection status of the server. In the settings area of the app the server connection details can be entered. Depending on the use case, the controls for the lights or doors can be switched on and off. For the individual lights and doors, the corresponding theme as well as the message can be set. In addition, further settings for the transmission can be selected.
