Home Automation Using ESP32 and Vonage SMS API

The Vonage SMS API enables businesses to connect with customers via SMS, voice, and messaging apps through its cloud communication platform. The ESP32 microcontroller can be used to control home devices remotely using the Vonage SMS API by setting up a webhook. This involves installing the ArduinoJson and ESPAsyncWebSrv libraries, initializing the web server, handling incoming requests, routing them to functions, and sending responses back to Vonage. Once set up, the system can send requests to Vonage when a digital pin is updated, allowing for remote control of home devices. Ngrok can be used to expose the local endpoint to the internet and receive incoming requests from the Vonage SMS API. The Vonage webhook can then forward these messages to the ESP32, enabling the system to respond to incoming SMS commands.
