Decentralized control of ESP32 over WiFi/Ethernet

[theskaz]

I am looking for a method/protocol for controlling an esp32 based device from a computer/tablet on the same network. i have no need for cloud/server configs (like MQTT it seems). it would be just point to point. I am familiar with REST protocols but i cant find an implementation in the esp32 world.

ultimately I would like to use http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/device/OnorOff/Powerlevel (example: http://192.168.1.100/heater/on/50. this would turn the heater on @ 50% power)

It is important that the device talks directly to the esp32 in a 1-to-1 config. it is also important that the message has been confirmed received by the esp32.

Are you looking for exclusively an Arduino framework solution? (You posted in the Arduino sub category)

Yes, I am using the Arduino IDE for dev.
