Apple ][e ready to surf the net

This is a fun project. Everything is reversible. I don’t pretend to disturb or molest this beautiful machine

I know there are other options such as a ESP8266 and a zimodem firmware but they also involve a serial card.

You can purchase the Uthernet II here (I am not attached or affiliated in any way) http://a2retrosystems.com/products.htm
The router I used is a Gl.Inet AR150 but any router may work actually. It only needs to be feed at 5 or 12V (PSU voltage options) otherwise you may adapt the voltage using a DC converter.
You can get the II Connect software here https://archive.org/details/ii-connect
The Ip65 contains the telnet software I used https://github.com/cc65/ip65/releases
Contiki can be downloaded here http://a2retrosystems.com/Contiki.htm

Instructions on how to setup the II Connect software:

With ][ CONNECWith ][ CONNECT you can use your Apple II for Network, Works or Smart Estate tasks. ][ CONNECT works with all Apple IIe with an Uthernet Card.

1. To this disk

The disk contains two files that you can/ have to modify for your use. IFTTT.KEY is the file where you have to input your IFTTT key (later explained in this manual).
ETHERNET.SLOT is the file where you have to tell your Apple II in which slot you have placed the Uthernet card (if you choose slot 5 you won't have to modify the file).

2. The www.ifttt.com service

Your Apple II will connect via the Uthernet Card to the IFTTT server and will controll the action. Most services explain theirselves, as tweet is twitter. For the smart estate functions you will have to use the Meross/SwitchBot products as they have a very good IFTTT service.

Here is a how-to example for Twitter:

Create an IFTTT account and sign in.
Choose New Applet.
Click +this.
Search for webhooks.
Click Connect.
Click Receive a web request.
Set Event Name to tweet.
Click Create trigger.
Click +that.
Search for twitter.
Click Connect
Enter your Twitter account data in popup window.
Click Post a tweet.
Set Tweet text to {{Value1}}.
Click Create Action.
Click Finish.
Now your Applet is complete. But in order to actually trigger it you need to know the key that IFTTT generated for your maker webhook:

Click your account name in the upper right.
Click Services.
Search for webhooks.
Click Documentation in the upper right.
Note the chars after Your key is:
When you run Tweet for the first time it asks you for your IFTTT webhook key. If you enter any chars they will be saved in the file IFTTT.KEY for subsequent runs. After successful network initialization Tweet asks for the Text of your tweet. If you enter any chars it triggers your webhook in order to have the tweet posted.
