one-ESP node command does not work

[ym58]

To make a long story short, I've made a few pics to show my problem to the community !
Thanks for any hint ....

Did you do a reboot ?
Nescessary to make the nodelist and UDP work.

Yes of course, I rebooted right after setup (2) so to make sure the node list and setup are refreshed ...
Actually, I am wondering whether sending a 'command' via the 'tools' menu ***ONLY*** works on other EPSs in the node list and ***NOT*** on oneself ???

In the wiki it says "SendTo" while you have "sendto".
Did you try whether the command is case sensitive?
The rules section also uses case-sensitive commands.

No way, it makes no difference, my LED 's still dumb !!!

I did not try but could make sense, why you should send a command to the same node you sent it from?

out of consistency !
a node is a node, no matter what ...

You are very stubborn. First read the wiki (http://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index ... rial_Rules) and then search this forum. You can't send a message to yourself.
I had not looked at that as I could not imagine you would try that.

Edit: As far as I know the UDP protocol does not even allow that.

"Very stubborn" ... ?
Well, let's just say that I was looking for a simple kinda 'GUI-like' way to send commands to my ESP module that would spare me typing URLs such as http://192.168.11.110/control?cmd=gpio,13,0 in the address bar of my browser!
Sorry about the 'disturbance' ...

I have been looking into the code and indeed I think it's like that both by design and probably by used protocol limit (UDP).
I'm not sure what you want to achieve but if you need to send command to the same node from it's own ESPEasy GUI then just type it! Use "gpio,13,0" instead of "SendTo 1,gpio,13,0", it works smooth and perfectly

Gosh ... how could I have missed that ?
I think I am ***REALLY*** more stupid than stubborn, actually !
Thanks papperone for this constructive advice ...
