Anyone using ESP8266/ESPEasy with OP2?
Im converting my OP1.2/MQTT system (with 5 x ESP8266 sender/receivers) to OP2 and as MQTT isnt yet implemented in OP2 I thought Id look at using generic UDP in the ESP.
Has anyone done this successfully and if so how did you set it up.
Thanks
Steve
Search "espeasy" on this forum. PaddyB did some stuff a while back, and I think there are others. Bringing UDP into OP2 is just a matter of defining a connection in SignalK.

I've had it working on an ESP32, sends UDP to signalk over wifi. Moved over to micropython , this code is early days but most of it works, might be worth a go on an ESP8266. I used thonny as an IDE, it will talk direct to an ESP32 once you have burned micropython on the ESP - plenty tutorials on the web for that. Much better way to go as mqtt just does text, udp/signalk will write numbers straight to signalk. Will also write fast straight to influxDB over udp, think I had up to 100 writes per second stable.
