ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi I would like to communicate with my android and esp8266. I want to use esp8266 as a wifi direct on raspberry pi so mobile phone and esp8266 can communicate each other without 'internet connection'. How can I do this? I have searched a lot but I have not figured it out. I have seen the module supports soft AP. Can I create that android and esp8266 communicate with soft AP?(without NO Internet Connection.)

Thank you for your replies.

I'm trying to do the same as you. I want to be able to create my own WiFi network, where my Raspberry Pi, Android, and esp8266 can communicate without access to the internet.

So far all I know is that one of these devices needs to be an access point for the others to connect to (probably the rPi is the best for this)

Have you guys successfully communicated using wifi direct of esp8266 to android.?
