I've been working on this a bit over the weekend and am now giving serious thought to using websockets rather than udp to survey the status of my switches. The question is, "Can a sketch run two instances of websockets client at one time?"

My current switch sketch already uses

Code: Select allwebSocket.begin("somewhere.com", 80, "/");

and

Code: Select allwebSocket.onEvent(webSocketEvent)

;

Can it simultaneously use

Code: Select allwebSocket.begin("192.168.0.123", 81, "/");

Then handle both websockets events in my void(webSocketEvent)?

I think you want to create 2 separate instances of the websocket client (e.g. websocket1 and websocket2)

You can then set them up separately and they will each have their own onEvent handler.

That makes perfect sense! I will give it a go and report back. Thanks.
