Newbie question -- ultra simple, standalone HTTP server

Hello All,

This may well be outside the intended scope of the 'ESP Easy' mandate, but no harm in asking...

All I want is a simple wireless embedded server with a temperature sensor attached that reports reading and RSSI, formatted as HTML.

EG http://10.0.0.200, unit reports "garage temp 20C, RSSI -85dBm" -- nothing fancier than that.

All of the examples I can find seem to use an agent as an intermediary in this reporting process, which is (much) more complex than is required.

Already have some simple Arduino code doing what is required, but ESP Easy looks cool, almost to being cryogenic.

Pointers appreciated.

Thanks, Mark

You can already query the sensor values as JSON objects (see http://<ip>/json ) so you may simply add a javascript wrapper to display them in a clean page, or embed it into another page.

And if I'm not mistaken, there was also some project for a simple dashboard as an extra view on ESPeasy sensor data, but not sure where I saw it.

Thanks, that sounds quite useful.

Any pointers to a similar project or example will be most appreciated.
