I have a smurt bulb in my room which I control from a mobile app via wifi.
I want to monitor the reqeusts that being sent from the mobile app.
Eventually I want to use my Raspberry Pi to control this bulb.
What is the best way to accomplish that?
Thanks.

I'm doing simple home security Iot project in which I want to connect esp32 camera module CamWebServer example to firebase Database, and then connect to Android app. Or at least I want to give a link in the app.
I want to give it a remote access. Plus I don't want esp32 cam to depend on home Wi-Fi, I want to depend it on Hotspot module(Is there any type of module available? If it is then please tell me), So it can have it's own internet like mobile has mobile data.
For example if intruder breaks electricity of home, esp32 cam still be accessed.
Can I do that?
Any type of help is welcomed!!
Thanks for the help!
What I want to do is have a complete control on beacon remotely through web/mobile app (RestApi). I already gone through following sites,
1)https://nectarkast.com/index.html
2)https://kontakt.io/products-and-solutions/beacon-software/
How do these site working? Are they using some custom beacons that has Wifi or network connecting functionality, any help would be really appreciable.
You need (a) a beacon with internet access or (b) a base station near those beacons with internet access and the ability to connect to them via Bluetooth to configure them.
It is also possible to build beacons using Lora, SigFox, or other IoT radio technologies that effectively gives a very low power internet connection that uses little battery.
I am trying to find informations about IBeacons, plus bluetooth Dash Buttons and google delivers contradictory results.
Is there a IBeacon's with an button to click. And an interface on the connected device to react on the click event?
I need if possible to have the proximity and click event.
Is this even possible with IBeacons/BLE specifications?
All kind of informations are welcome.
Thanks
IoT buttons like Amazon Dash and Bluetooth LE beacons like iBeacon have fundamental differences:
Amazon Dash connects to the internet over WiFi to make a web service call on button press, and requires configuration with your WiFi network. Other IoT buttons work similarly, although some connect to the internet via a nearby mobile device using Bluetooth. You must write some code and deploy it to a cloud server to do something whenever somebody taps the button.
Bluetooth LE beacons like iBeacon are transmit only Bluetooth LE devices that do not connect to the internet, but simply sent out a bluetooth packet with a unique identifier. These devices are much simpler, and rely on another bluetooth-enabled computer within 40 meters to be listening (typically a mobile phone). You must write an app on the mobile phone then does something when it detects the beacon transmission is detected.
Most Bluetooth LE beacons are always transmitting, although it is possible to buy ones that are click-on click-off like the RadBeacon Dot. This could provide similar functionality to a Amazon Dash if a mobile app is running nearby that can forward the detection to a similar cloud sever as used for an Amazon Dash solution.
I want to connect 2 Nrf51822 device to each other, as Ad and scanner.
but I want to have a full-duplex communication between them.
for example UARTconsole Application in MBED , mobile app can send and recieve from nrf but I want to use another board for mobile app.
Sorry I solved this problem by here:

I'm having the hardest time to get the solution of the following problem.
Main issue:
Several smartphones(up to 30) must communicate with a MCU at the same time.
System overview:
There are many rooms(each room is a cabinet that 30 people can go into), and every cabinet will have one MCU for the smartphone users.
MCU will control some device of the cabinet.
The scenario of this system is as follows:
1. The users go into the cabinet.
2. Smartphone app will recognize the MCU(or MCU will recognize the smartphone) and the MCU will send some data to the smartphone and this data will be noticed to the user.
3. User inputs some data at the smartphone app and this data will be sent to the MCU to control the cabinet device.
4. Up to 30 people can go into the cabinet at the same time and the system should handle all the users simultaneously.
I'm going to develop smartphone application and MCU firmware for this system.
My thought:
I'm thinking to use Arduino/RFduino/Raspberry Pi as MCU and I'm thinking to use Bluetooth LE/Wifi/3G as communication material.
I've tried the following solutions
1. Using bluetooth low energy on Arduino/RFduino/Raspberry Pi.
MCU will be BLE peripheral and my smartphone app will be BLE central.
But I found that a BLE peripheral can only be connected to a BLE central at the same time so I can't use this method.
2. Using wifi on Raspberry Pi
I think that Raspberry Pi can run web service and my smartphone app can communicate with the server through http.
But every time the smartphone user go into the Raspberry Pi based wifi-zone, the user should select the wifi-hotspot at the network setting if he registered this wifi already, and the user should register the wifi-hotspot if this is the first time at the wifi-zone(cabinet).
This is very inconvenient for the users so can't be used for me.
3. Using 3G network on Raspberry Pi
Unfortunately, there's no 3G signal in the cabinet so I can't use this method.
I'm looking forward your kind answer.
Any hints or comments will be welcome.
Thanks for your attention.
Thanks for your answer in advance.

Well... I'd go with wifi. And QR codes.
I'd make either a single wifi network for all the cabinets (so only one set of credentials, or even an open one - without security) and then the app can connect to the raspberries using a sort of authentication (where the credentials are written in a QR code inside the cabinet) or a wifi network for each cabinet and its credentials are written in a QR code.
I'd use the first one, maybe without security. So the user has just to go in the cabinet, connect to the common wifi, make a photo at the qr code and then can use the RPi
