AltaNode32POE

A physical control unit for the Avigilon Alta API powered by LILYGO T-Internet-POE.

Project Details

This project implements a LILYGO T-Internet-POE (ESP32 microcontroller) that provides control of Avigilon Alta entries via API using physical buttons.

Features:

• Connects to network via LAN and utilizes POE.
• Provides a web interface for configuration of Avigilon Alta API details.
• Implements secure access to configuration pages with username and password authentication.
• Saves configuration data (API URL and button entries) to the SD card.
• Encrypts SD card data & stores key in EEPROM via AES
• Provides Over-the-Air (OTA) updates for easy firmware updates.
• Controls entries via button presses that make use of the Avigilon Alta API.
