#59152 Hi Everybody,
Greetings of the day !!
I am new to ESP but done a short of R&Ds like flashing it with NodeMCU, boot it in AP mode for configure it (SSID, password) through browser (OTA) rather than through USB.
Now I am facing a very basic problem, I am working on a RC-switch control system with help of ESP-01 and RF transceiver (3.4 Mhz) which is working fine on local server at port 80 by parsing string (On - "0" Off - "-1") through browser.
Now I want 2 things :
1. ESP start in AP mode initially, so that flexibility to configure different SSID & Password will be their.
2. Then it will connect to any free cloud service to control both (0 & 2) GPIO by pressing simple buttons in cloud.

I know nobody is going to write me the full code but please help me with the basic concept (or code) to use, SPECIALLY for 2ND CASE. considering that I am using a simple USB dongle based router which doesn't have port-forwarding and static IP.

Thanks.
