Re: Lots of Gadgets think I need a server.

I highly suggest using a method similar to the last post.
Set up a server that can be configured to use https and have that server talk to the esp devices on your internal network.
You probably don't want to have your esp connected directly to the outside work. I do occasionally for demonstrations and such but rarely for long periods of time. Remember that it only takes 4 connection to clog up the esp so that another client cant connect. That is to say it is one of your buddies who is mad at you who keeps hitting the refresh button in 4 tabs open on his browser.
