What would be best approach to use ESP module as test device for different antennas? I thought of something that sniffes for particular packets/sec and returns the amount of recived/expected as signal quality. Any thoughts how to approach this subject? It would be great if this could work even without making actual connection.

Using an Arduino sketch, you can include the ESP8266WiFi library, that provides a "scanNetworks" method; this method returns the SSID and RSSI of all APs within reach:

If i'm correct this function takes some time to process and that really not practical for antena tuning application if you get one read for few seconds. I'm hoping for something much faster.
