#11561 My concern is security. The esp8266 is basically an unknown quantity. At least until someone who understands the firmware on this device has gone through every line of code and confirmed there is nothing malicious there. Until then I'm not particularly comfortable with providing it with the keys to my LAN, ie.. password to my router in order for it to get an IP address and have access to the internet. This is a way to work around that if your objective is to simply pull data off devices in your local environment.
