First of all I'm a complete newbie to Pi as well as programming, so please bear with me.
Over the past few days I've been wanting to trigger Python scripts to run on my Pi from a button press on my iPhone. I am pleased to say that I have got this up and running using the following method:
IFTTT Button (iPhone) -> Adafruit Feed -> Adafruit Feed watched by Python script -> Python script executed if correct parameter received
This works like a charm and so I added the following for Siri integration / triggering:
Apple Shortcuts / Siri -> IFTTT Webhook -> Adafruit.... and the same as above from here onwards.
So my question at the end of all this is, is this process ok? As in are there better ways that I can be doing this / or any security or other concerns with my current process? Like I said, the above methods work really well for me and are nice and easy to setup and manage with my limited knowledge - but I'd like to know if there are any issues with my current approach.
Thanks!
