Get RSSI of current station?

[bjpirt]

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to be able to read the RSSI of the station that the ESP is currently connected to? I know I can do a scan for all stations, but I was wondering if it possible without doing a scan?
Thanks,
Ben

I think you can do it using
AT+CWLAP="<your AP>"
and it will only show the info for that particular AP, including RSSI

Thanks @doughboy, although I should have also mentioned I was looking to get the C code for doing this. I've looked at the source for that AT command and it looks like it still does a full scan to get that information, it just filters the output if you enter a SSID.

Does anyone from Espressif know if it's possible to get the RSSI of the station you've joined?

Thanks,
Ben

they did include that in the new AT Command please check the latest docs...

@jayc75 unfortunately that AT command just uses a scan behind the scenes and filters the results. What I'm looking for is the ability to read out the RSSI of the currently joined access point without having to perform a wifi scan.

Could someone from Espressif weigh in please?

Yes, that would be a really nice feature!

Hi，

Yes，only wifi_station_scan can get rssi , here is a scan demo http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=229

use the SSID of target AP as parameter, it can get rssi of specific AP .

@Espressif_Faye Thanks for responding - shame it requires a full scan, but thanks for letting me know. Consider it a feature request that it would be nice to be able to get the RSSI of the current AP without having to do a scan.
Many thanks,
Ben
