ESP8266 Community Forum

Any ideas how I can send a command between an iphone app and an esp8266, not over the internet, with one click from the app?

I think theoretically with the esp8266 listening in promiscuous mode I should be able to get the iphone to send out some code, that the esp8266 can listen for, but I cant find an ios api that works.

(I have implemented such an architecture on android)

Thanks

I don't know anything about IOS apps. You could run a webserver on the ESP8266 then connect to it using Safari, Chrome, Firefox, IE, etc.
