Simplest ESP -> PC/RPi realtime notification over LAN
Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2015 8:24 amHello fellow ESP enthusiasts!
I'm trying to build a notifier device, which should send a message to a Windows/Linux machine (common LAN) based on pin state change interrupt. It has to be standalone - no second microcontroller beside ESP itself.
Latency is a major concern - I don't want any services outside my own LAN like thingspeak involved.
Obviously, my question is not only about ESP itself - I have to receive that notifications somehow
So I figured - if I can post something to server like Thingspeak, why not post something to my own PC?
But maybe there is a simpler way, than setting up HTTP server on my local PC?
Could you please help me with suggestions in which direction I should look for a solution?
