ESP8266 Community Forum

- Fri Aug 21, 2015 8:51 pm #26753 Hello,

I am starting a home automation project.
I have found pretty much every piece of information I would need on this forum (thank you for that).
But I have a question regarding Souliss. I want to make an Adhoc network to comunicate my home network, and I see on several examples that souliss is able to do that, but none of those examples is using ESP8266.
Is Souliss able to do adhoc networking with ESP8266?
Maybe one of you might know this/test this/point me in the right direction?
I am preparing everything for my ESPs arrival (maybe in two weeks), so I would apreciate any information.

Thanks!

generally you can, it simply require you to use SetAccessPoint() instead of GetIPAddress(), in this way your ESP will runs as access point and you can connect your smartphone directly and control the node.

You should try to use one node as access point and the other as station with that one, so that you can control your network with multiple ESP nodes.

Please consider to drop a private message or use the Souliss community, because I'm not always on this forum.
