ESP8266 Smart Home with Android and openHAB
Posted: Sun May 17, 2015 5:11 amHi,
we have just ported Souliss on ESP8266, see below the screenshot of the Android application SoulissApp.
Here a sample sketch to run togheter with the Souliss library, I strongly suggest to download the whole IDE that contains the Arduino cores for ESP8266 that we have tested from this link.
This tiny sketch handle the communication with SoulissApp and control a relay (we have tested on Olimex ESP8266-EVB) on GPIO5.
Is just the simplest example, you can mix multiple ESP and control them from a central point, either SoulissApp or openHAB and have a network that contains also Arduino based on ATmega AVR that use 2.4 GHz radio like nRF24L01 and RFM69 or RS485 communication.
Have a try, and share your ideas!

Souliss - Hello World for Expressif ESP8266
This is the basic example, create a software push-button on Android
using SoulissApp (get it from Play Store).
Load this code on ESP8266 board using the porting of the Arduino core
for this platform.

Ty so much Dario! Awesome! Im working to make some examples and add new libraries.
