Been watching your videos for a very long time. Started off with minor circuits. And now I build robots and 3d printers. Your videos have influenced my passion. Thank you for your content.

for C6 and H2 ones u can also use thread, giving you endless connection( so long as internet exists)

You shouldn’t need the button on the ESP32 for actuation. The pins themselves are touch sensitive. They are SO easy to use and program

[Danixu]

The models like ESP32 C6 can use Zigbee/Thread, which is similar to ESP-NOW and can be used with tools like Home Assistant.

You can also use a broadcast mode. So you do not need to know MAC adresses and there is no limits on 20 connections.

But isn’t it using the same Frequency as WiFi? Why is the range better 🤔

Remember to implement since the beginning the security layer setting up the:
- Master Key aka PMK
- Local Key aka LMK

If you use websockets over wifi is pretty fast response

[dunk_law]

Multiple channels but what ever channel you pick for espnow, you have to use the same for WiFi.

[VNMX]

or just use a mesh wifi into your home and an MQTT server like mosquitto and the response time is instant. HTML webservers are not very responsive because the esp wastes some resources to display and store all the html data.

ESP-NOW is just a different operating mode of WiFi. The classical modes like station and access point are standardized, while esp now is a proprietary operating mode developed by espressif. Both use the normal WiFi physical layer. ESP NOW *CAN* use a differrnt long range phy, which is likely similar to the regular WiFi phy, just with lower code rates and more error correction

This aligns perfectly with the philosophy of "Internet Of Things"

[tbremard]

So now you can communicate with Morse through your house at longer distance than wifi !

[peaps]

I tried ESPNOW. The range isn't that great to be honest. Don't expect it to be more than 2x better than WiFi

[AndersNielsenAA]

Too bad you also need a power bank, an 18650 cell, or a whole laptop :)
nRF24L01+ modules, Bluetooth or even LoRA is typically better for this application.
(Not that ESP-Now doesn't have its place)

[dunk_law]

Its a bit limited when you try to share with standard wifi as they both must use the same channel.

[johnbeskow]

everything is pretty easy with the arduino IDE

[indyguy]

Is it as secure as Wi-Fi? Can it be spoofed?

[PhinkTink]

esp 2 esp vise this is great but... not all devices i want to be able to talk to my receiver are esp

[nazimelhadi]

Did you really solder a resistor on the pins?
