My plantoid Mechaphytum Animus is interacting with web thanks to ESP8266 webserver nodes... I played a lot with this tiny wifi modules and managed to incorporate them into my projects in many ways.... Easy to connect to a MCU, open source firmware and lots of example software on the web... I prepared many webservers with or even without a MCU and now Mechaphytum Animus can send sensor data to web, can Tweet and even send e-mails to me when an event is triggered... Below are my ESP8266 webservers...

The one at the leftmost top corner can send DHT11 temp&humidity data to web all by itself without the need of a MCU... Thanks to great working firmware created by guys at NodeMCU... The one at the rightmost bottom one is working with Arduino Mini and can trigger events (for ex: with a PIR sensor) and can send Tweets... I will share code and schematics here if anyone interested....

I'm Interested ! :)

Great work borsaci06 .. My modules are still sitting on my desk ! :P

NodeMCU looks interesting

Thx Greg,

Yes NodeMCU firmware is great.. it can make the esp module work standalone... Indeed this tiny module is a MCU, so why try to interact with it via another MCU like Arduino?... The only thing is firmware is written in and accepting LUA scripts, and I am not familiar with LUA for the time being... Having a little hard time... :) 

So I keep using Arduino to control ESP modules ...  Will post here all the software but do not know how to attach a lot of files here... :) Cheers...
