Hostname

[mjoco]

Hi,

is it possible to reach ESP-module using hostname instead of IP-address? If now is not, then will it be planned? It would be great to have an AT+ command to setup hostname.

Best Regards

How do you want to use hostname? You can ping one domain name and create a tcp using domain name.

for example:

AT+PING="www.yahoo.com"

+55

OK
AT+CIPSTART="TCP","www.yahoo.com",80

CONNECT

OK
AT+CIPSTATUS

STATUS:3
+CIPSTATUS:0,"TCP","116.214.12.74",80,0

OK

Hi,

I thought the hostname of the ESP8266 as station. So when I connect to it, I'd rather use it's hostname instead of IP address (eg. in browser).

Hi,

AT firmware does not support this function by default.

But you could add it by yourself, calling API "wifi_station_set_hostname" to set hostname of ESP8266 station.

Thanks for your interest in ESP8266 !
