The hopmsg.com domain will be closed ! later you can use https://hopmsg.dataconsult.hu/
When to use:
1, IOT data exchange, simple data exhange for any IOT device just by opening a link!
Example: your IOT device is createing a message by opening a link:
http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY&value=message
Get your message from any device by opening:
http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY
You can create complete overview of your IOT device status by including the message keys into values, it will expanding until 3 levels, like:
ROOTKEY="My IOT dev. overview: uptime:|MY_UPTIME_KEY|, freespace:|MY_FREESPACE_KEY| end."
If the sub keys already stored before.
2, Simplest way to Send/Receive message from any kind of OS/browser/platform just by clicking on a link, only need to create an ID for your message!
Example: set your message by opening a link :
http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY&value=message
get your message from any device by opening:
http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY
You can create a message where every participant can only edit his own part by embedding the message keys into values, it will expanding until 3 levels, like:
EVENT_ROOTKEY="Who will take part: Joe:|JOE_PRIVATE_KEY|, Andy:|ANDY_PRIVATE_KEY| blabla"
Joe and Andy only can edit his own key without the complete message overview. (Android App to get/set it.)
3, Control your device (rpi,iot,etc) inside Nat/Lan
Example: set your command by opening a link:
http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY&value=command
check for commands to execute by the device every 10 seconds by reading/opening:
http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY
4, Basic monitoring system
Bash script checking uptime:
UP=`uptime | sed -e 's/ /_/g'`; curl "http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY&value=`echo ${UP}`"
and use the Android App or a browser to check the status of the device.
5, Get your IP address, the message source, poor man's dyndns :)
If you set some values, with src=1 parameter your IP and the UTC time also added to your message
Example:
http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY&value=VALUE&src=1
Get it:
http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY
wget -qO- hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY > result.txt
to use with some script.
Only the basic html tags allowed in value!
How to use:
Create a random key like: 7rAHtzY9EvgXFaDPSxVUMiGfZ this will be "YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY" and keep it safe.
Set value:
Open this link in a browser: http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY&value=VALUE_or_MESSAGE
or use Linux script: curl "http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY&value=VALUE_or_MESSAGE"
Get value
Open this link in a browser: http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY or
Linux script: curl "http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY"
Linux script: wget -qO- hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY > result.txt
To convert your message (URL encode) use some URL encode/decode site like:
https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/
Set: Basic html URL encode example link (check the link target)
Get: http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY
Basic html tags allowed, scripts,etc trimmed.
Security:
Https can be used, for sensitive data use your own encryption before upload, and decryption after download.
Example:
Unique link to set your message (save your YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY !):
http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=7rAHtzY9EvgXFaDPSxVUMiGfZ&value=YOUR_VALUE_CHANGE_IT
Get your message:
http://hopmsg.com/ctl.php?id=7rAHtzY9EvgXFaDPSxVUMiGfZ
