Let's Control It

Hi guys,

I´m new with ESP and after reading a lot of things I´ve found the ESP Easy and Im interested on it. I already have a system where I use an arduino + Zigbee to send temperature, distance, voltage readings and control a DC motor with pwm, the data is sent to a software on the computer, done in C#. Now I want to use only an ESP in place of the arduino + zigbee and change the software to support it. I´m still reading about MQTT to better understand it but I´m not sure if I´m thinking in the right way.

My doubt is: Can I use the ESP Easy and instead of sending the data to domoticz, openhab... send the data to my software? or if possible send to domoticz and somehow get this data from there to feed my system. I don´t know the protocol that they use so I dont know if it is easier to use the ESP easy and adapt it to my system or start from scratch on the ESP programing using the Arduino IDE.

Thanks in advance,

Jean Soares

You can use protocol 5 (OpenHAB = MQTT).
Communication as follows: ESPEasy <> MQTT Broker (e.g. Mosquitto) <> Your Software
Into your software you must add some MQTT client.

Hi, If you can run a web server then you can set the IP /Port for domoticz to your web server and get the data that way via your own script. I use a PHP script to keep track of the state of some lights this way using sonoff with ESP Easy.
