Hi
In DIY mode, How can I control the device via WAN, What URL can I use for WAN http request?

1. You have to open your local network to the internet
2. You have to know what is your wan IP
3. You have to do port forwarding in your router. If you trigger 8081 by wan IP the router should forward request to sonoff ip and port 8081
4. That's all
   P.S. If you don't have fixed wan IP, your should use DDNS service to find out your wan IP. Noip.com is a good one
