#69459 I have a NodeMCU board for which I have developed a simple server in C to communicate with via telnet.
However, everywhere I look I see a lot of popularity with using the REST API/HTTP requests instead, especially when it comes to IoT.

What i'm wondering Is that if there is any sort of advantage of using HTTP rather than Telnet in a home automation server.

What are your opinions, or what is best practice?
