Looking at setting up Raspberry Dynamic DNS or Raspberry Pi port forwarding. Both of these will help you make your Pi more accessible on the internet.
Full guide: pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-port-forwarding
Raspberry Pi port forwarding is done on the router and allows you to have applications “speak” with the internet. This is a requirement if you’re looking at hosting any sort of server that requires access outside the local network.
Port forwarding is very easy to setup but is essential if you want to have any of your web applications accessible on the internet.
Raspberry Pi Dynamic DNS allows you to have a domain name rather than an IP to connect to. This makes it a bit easier to remember your home network address when you’re out and about. It also is very helpful if your ISP gives you a dynamic IP rather than a static one.
You can also setup dynamic DNS on your router but it has to have this featured installed. To check simply login to your router and try and find anything that refers to dynamic DNS.

In this video I go through the process of setting up Raspberry Pi cayenne. This is a software package for the Pi that helps you create IoT projects fast thanks to an easy to use drag & drop interface. I also go through the steps of setting up a temperature sensor and an LED.
Full Tutorial: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-cayenne/
Installing MyDevices cayenne is a relatively straightforward process. All you need to do is make sure you have Raspbian installed and then sign up for an account at their website. Once signed up you can install it via the app or by copying a couple of command lines into the terminal for your Pi.
Adding sensors is also just as easy as installing the software. The hardest part will be connecting up the devices to the Pi correctly. For this I recommend looking at the tutorials that covers sensors, input & output devices. I have covered a few on my channel that you should take a look at if you’re interested.
Triggers & events within cayenne are a way you can have your Pi react to certain situations. In the video I show an example of sending an email and turning an LED on whenever my temperature sensor got to a certain temperature.
If you’re not a coder, then this will probably interest you as it is pretty much drag and drop as I mentioned above. You can create some amazing projects from using if then statements. On top of this time based events will allow you to have your Pi perform certain tasks at specific times. I really do just scrape on the basics in this video and will be looking at doing more projects in the very near future.
I hope this video has been able to help you with getting started with Raspberry pi cayenne. If you come across any issues, have feedback or anything else then please feel free to drop a comment below or over at pimylifeup.com")
