Some explanation of upcoming feature

#1 Post by msev » 28 Mar 2016, 22:58

So in upcoming feature list i found this very nice feature is coming
#10 - Send sensor value to other ESP units with LCD (R86)

Is it for MQTT too? So if some sensor nodes around the house are sending MQTT messages around this node with lcd (or presumably also oled?) can pick them up and display them? Will you also be able to implement such a functionality that it cycles through pages of data if one once to display data from various sensor nodes on a central lcd hub. Thanks!

It's using this feature: http://www.esp8266.nu/index.php/EasyGlobalSync.
It's mainly build to work in standalone scenario's were ESP units needs to be 'linked'.

Martinus so lets take a real-life example 4 Esps, one is only with lcd display, 2 Esps are indoors with 3 sensors each. One is outdoors with also 3 sensors connected to it.
Can I now display all this data on the forth Esp, for example there could be pages, and each page stays 5seconds, with all the sensor data on it (lcd is 20x4 i2c lcd).

Also Martinus could you maybe make developement releases (or tags) with precompiled dev- bins for testing?
