#60918 I'd like to make a quiz show button set. You have six big push buttons, inside these buttons there will be a esp8266 with a battery. These esp8266's will send a http request to a server. Probably Raspberry Pi, because esp8266 can't handle more than one connected device to its access point? (Anyone can confirm this?)
The server will turn on a bunch of neopixels in the color of the pushed button.

So the quizbuttons do not have a LED, only the receiver has a LED. When I push a button on the receiver, the light will be reset and the game can continue.

It's an idea and I hope this can be done with only esp8266 for each button and esp8266 for the "game master".

But I want the buttons to be wireless...

Sorry, I thought you meant six buttons on a panel or something similar, not six independent buttons. Obviously, you need a ESP per button. I do not see anything excessively complicated in your project, you can probably accomplish that just by browsing similar projects, and grabbing schematics and code from them.
