I released on GitHub a PHP library for querying and editing data on the Tado Thermostat System. It is integrated in Laravel 5.x for quick setup in this excellent framework.

Classes with a lot of lines of code are generally bad. Too many responsibilities, low cohesion, or both. However, sometimes it is not possible to make functions smaller. Reasons could be various. What can be done in this circumstance?

More than once I needed to render a laravel view as a downlodable file. This task could be easily accomplished

My system is safe, it uses encryption. You heard/said this from time to time. Sure, but why and how is it safe? Do you really know this?
