Questions about the WiFi library

Postby esprUS32 » Wed Sep 05, 2018 2:07 pm

Hi esp32 lovers,

I am currently working on a project that does home automation project based on my phone being near the esp32. I have it configured as a wifi scanner, but I was wondering if it would be possible to choose the channel and/or the AP in question prior to scanning in order to save time. Right now the wifi scanner works by going through all the channels, which is very time consuming. Thanks again for your help!

You could set up the ESP as an AP network and have a direct access that way, or else have a phone APP search and connect to the ESP.

Maybe Bluetooth/BLE would be a better/faster indication of proximity.
