Direct connection between two ESPEASY modules?
Posted: 21 Nov 2017, 13:49
Hi,
I have an application where I need to switch a waterpump remotely, however the contact (switch) is about 15 meters away and I cannot use cables in between.
Can I setup an ESPEASY module that 'watches' the contact closure and transmits this information to a second ESPEASY (Sonoff device) which actually controls the waterpump?
In other words, the pump has to follow the contact closure.
I know this can be done using MQTT etc but I do not want anything else involved, only a wifi connection between those two modules.
The electrical interfacing on both sides is not a problem but my problem is the wifi part, one acting as a client and the other s a server.
Can this be done and/or is there a better/smarter/easier way to do this?
