So... im new, and very lost but hopefully someone can help. Im trying to set up a system the detects whenever a device casts to the Comcast. I want to use that to trigger an ir sequence to change the input of my receiver. I've looked at other topics with no success. Any Ideas or links that can send me in the right direction?

Not sure you would be able to intercept the packets with an ESP8266 unless you routed the traffic through it? Some info here on protocols

Thanks, any idea if it would be possible to detect if any device makes a request to a certain URL without running the traffic through the esp?
