connect to host and send bytes

Hi there!

Is there a command or a controller with which i can connect to the socket of another host to send bytes to this host?

For example

Code: Select all

  connecttoHost,192.168.1.1,12345 // connect to host 192.168.1.1 port 12345
  sendtoHost,192.168.1.1,I am connected // sendto (connected) Host the string "I am connected"
  senttoHost,192.168.1.1,0xa0 0x1d 0xff // sendto (connected) Host the bytes (in hex notation) a0 1d ff
Thank you!

Something like a telnet connection you mean?
We don't have something like that.

If you need to send commands to another ESPEasy node, you could take a look at sendto

Yes, something like telnet.

I bought a wifi relais with esp8266, thinking that i can flash espeasy on it and use it. BUT they assembled a whatever microcontroler, which uses the esp8266 only as "wifi card", so no espeasy :(

But you can connect to the controler on the board and send commands, with which you can switch the relais on or off. So i tought i use espeasy to do the mqtt stuff and switch the relais by espeasy over the microcontroler socket commands.

But if there isn't such a function in espeasy, my plans are busted :) But no problem.

Thanks mate!

Hi!

I bought this one

I wanted to use it to control a projector screen with it.

But i now bought a shelly 2.5, flashed espeasy on it and archived my needs, controlling a motorized projector screen via mqtt.
