Is it possible to use ESP with Xbee...Need some guidance on setting this up..

i will connect sensors to the 2 xbees and use another xbee to collect this data..Then using ESP i want to send this data to internet..Please let me know the details on how this can be achieved

Have you considered running the WiFi Server from the examples on the ESP8266 and running the Arduino as an I2C Slave?

Look through the sketches here.....

Hi,

My current configuration-
Arduino tx -----esp8266 tx
Arduino rx-----esp8266 rx
I am now able to load my sketch into esp8266 and transmit sensor data to server via wifi. BUT actually in future, i will be receving data from remote xbee and local xbee+esp8266 will first store and forward to the server via wifi.

In this case, since i have already used tx and rx of arduino to esp8266 tx and rx, how can i connect tx and rx of xbee ?
