Hi,
Does anyone have some example which i can use in my Arduino IDE to have my ESP8266 ping a certain static IP-adress on my home-network?
(I would like the ESP to look for my phone on an interval)

That's an interesting question. I suppose you could open a socket and send ICMP echo requests to the phone IP address. That assumes your phone can send echo replies. I've never tried it but it would be a fun exercise.
Read this white paper

There is nothing like "socket" in ICMP. Maybe he need to dig into LWIP ICMP implementation - send ICMP request and receive ICMP reply. Igrr added this for enhancement (

Surely there must be something like the
AT+PING="192.168.1.1"
AT+PING="www.baidu.com"
commands (from the at-command set) but callable from C (Arduino- IDE).. does anyone have a clue?
