wow we didn't think of that at the moment :lol: . thanks for the input. we'll try making something using that later.

No code then?

okay we'll try using different esp later. we want to perfected this prototype first. we still have problem when we plug a big load to the terminal. hardware problem though. oh right, i'm very sorry we can't share the code. i'll tell you the principle we use though. we set the esp as access point and use the serial communication and read the character to define which output to turn on or off. we connect to the esp with our phone using a tcp/ip application.
