- Thu Dec 04, 2014 11:29 pm #4022 Hello guys,

I want to connect all my ESP8266 modules to a server through TCP, what I want to achieve is to control them remotely from server without the need to know their IP address.

I want something like Web sockets to listen to server port, if there is a message it would print it and reply back. ( chat room with ESP as a client )

Question is:

- Is this feasible and can be done with LUA?
- Is there a Unique ID in each module that I can use while sending the command? something like sendCommand("Hello World", UniqueID);

Thank you.

Now what about the socket connection? to listen and send? 2 way communication between the server and client.
