See the msgbranch example here.

You would use wget on the master control esp to tug the msg url on the slave devices.

Hi Michael,

Could you expand on this concept with some examples of how to "use wget on the master control esp to tug the msg url on the slave devices"?

I too am trying to build a stand-alone system where one master ESP and multiple ESP stations but in my case, I want the remote stations to toggle a relay at the master.

Cheers

If you look at the following thread there is code and a video that shows 2 esps talking to each other using the wget method. One esp is used a button to control the led on another esp.
