ESP8266 Community Forum

Integration of IoT and OpenERP over Inventory Management.”

assume a building floor 120sqr yards and has 4 rooms so i want to mange all the inventories in it. i want to place some kind of tags and use a reader to detect them i hope u understand.

so there for i use ESP8266
can anybody further help me how to get the location.
Suppose 2 rooms have 2 different router. a inventory have ESP8266 in it. and connected to router. but how should i detect that the inventory in room 1 has been shifted to room 2.


can anybody know how to extract the mac address from the router and place into the the data base..

do you really have to do it wiith a mac address?

you can also try to set room1 router's ip to ie. 192.168.1.1, the other to ie. 192.168.2.1.

if esp ip is 192.168.1.x, it is connected to room1 router.

question:
how do you plan to power the esp while in the inventory?

ESP need 3.3v which can be provide by a battery cell.
i have to use mac-addresse bcoz it allow to the esp to connect all the router..
by using ip i will be bound..
by the way does ESP have mac-address..??

Of course, otherwise it won't work.
In fact, each ESPs have 2 MAC, one for AP and one for STA.
