Thanks
Hi, sorry did not see your reply until now...
This is the script I used (with the password and name removed)
dht.setup(22,2)
[loopy]
wifioff
delay 5000
td = dht.temp()
hd = dht.hum()
wifi.connect("name","password")
p = "192.168.1.68/weather/temphum.php?TEMPDHT=" & td & "&" & "HUMDHT=" & hd
Bla = wget(p)
goto [loopy]
The delay bit is obviously adjustable and probably could go anywhere. Turning off the wifi is easy with wifioff and reconnecting is also pretty easy with wifi.connect("name","password").
A potential problem is if you make a programming error and it gets stuck in wifi off (as I did when I misspelled the router name in wifi.connect). This means you can't fix the problem from the browser because the esp is, well, offline! You can reset the ESP but if you've got it set up to auto run the program then it will turn the wifi off before you get a chance to reprogram it. There's always a way to fix it though, even if worst case it means connecting it back to the computer port and even reinstalling ESP basic.
