ESP8266 - communication

Hi,

I have a few ESP8266 projects going on but still feel like there are many ways in which to talk with the ESP, does anyone know of a list where the different ways of communication is listed with what they can do and what they can not, and maybe also how its done.

I’m well proficient with C/c++ and other languages but network “talk” is new to me, as mentioned I have a few ESP projects doing measurements and logging teese to a web server, I also have a wifi switch that uses the ESP as a web server.

These projects are all snipped together from other users. What i would like is a point in the direction of controlling the esp from either mobile phone app or a ESP-remote control. I know little to nothing about tcp and udp and what i’ve googled just makes me more confused.

Hope anyone understand my thoughts :slight_smile:
