Re: Is it possible to use Rainmaker and ESPNOW together?

Currently I'm trying to do this but am having issues. I am using esp-now for broadcasting communication between esp32's, and this requires I put the esp32's into `WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);`. This however messes up using esp-rainmaker, as it is trying to use provisioning, however the esp-now method I am u...

Bi-Directional communication using ESP-NOW

I am trying to make my own smart home system using esp32s. The idea is that I have 1 hub, and then have esp32-powered end devices, such as switches. These end devices will need to be low power consumption as well, so they cannot use wifi (hence why I turned to ESP-NOW). I have been trying the exampl...

Re: Using ESP-NOW for bi-directional communication between esp32's

From what I read, this method uses WiFi. Only my hub esp32 can access wifi, whereas I want my end device esp32 to not be connected, as this will be a low power device. I believe you should still be able to broadcast without initiating wifi on the esp32, so I will try a system where the hold of a but...

Using ESP-NOW for bi-directional communication between esp32's

I am trying to make a smart home system where I use 1 esp32 as a hub module and many other esp32s as end devices that connect to the hub. I also want to use ESP-NOW for low-power bi-directional communication, since many end devices will be low-power sensors that should last up to a few months on a b...

2 way communication using ESP-WROOM-32 not working

I am trying to make a 2 way communication for my own IOT device. I have one esp32 acting as a hub, and one esp32 acting as an end device for a sensor. Ideally, my hub will always be on. Once my end device turns on, I want it to ping its mac address to be picked up by the hub, and once the hub receiv...
