ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi All

I'm very new to this and after many hours of searching, plenty of learning and plenty of hair loss I've resorted to asking for help.

Basically I want create an Android app to toggle for 3 LED's connected to WemosD1 over wireless LAN.

For something as simple as this, would you use ESP as a TCP server or use a HTTP server and what are the most appropriate libraries?

A person's advice who has developed anything similar or any links to a similar project would be most appreciated and also any pitfalls I may encounter.

Thanks in advance

Various ways to use a web server running on an ESP8266 to control 1 LED. No need to create an Android app if you use a web server. This assumes you want to use ESP8266 Arduino.

Thanks gdsports for the response.

I have checked the links.

I should've mentioned before posting that I have already set Wemos as web server and created arduino code that toggles led's using a web browser by calling a url on my LAN via PC (different pages for different states)

What I wish to achieve is to make a button using Android Studio that simply calls a html page. This page is created from my arduino webserver code (feedback is not necessary from wemos server for now).

If I can call say, 192.0.0.5/led1on, that would be suffice.

Maybe I should start a new thread with 'android' in the post title?

Thanks again,

What kind og LED?
i am doing something similar but i need the Wemos to start runing a code for a WS2812B Strip.
Im currently looking into Mqtt as a protocol to send and recieve the commands with.

If its just a Relay or a single LED you need to turn on or of there is quite good videos on Youtube try and search for "Mqtt Led" or something the like.
