Finding esp8266 in a current network.
Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2018 7:50 am
Hi Guys i have developed a program for esp8266 to connect to any wifi station by providing SSID and password. I am using mDNS to find the device when its in AP Mode. but when in STA mode i cannot find it with the mDNS.
I am using websocket to communicate with the device , but here i need to know the IP address of the esp and then i can communicate with it.
What i want to achieve here is , I want to access the esp without knowing its IP address when it is connected to the network i am in. Also i cannot set a static ip address to the esp in my case.
What are the techniques to do so , please guide.
