Hi
Just what I looking for, a foot up to finding out about ESP8266 control over the net. Thank you.
Tried to compile the sketch as it is but got an error on this line
IPAddress apIP(42.42.42.42); // Defining a static IP address: local & gateway
// Default IP in AP mode is 192.168.4.1

The error says ;
exit status 1
too many decimal points in number

Any ideas?

Thanks again for your tutorial.

Hi,
Thanks for your help. I uploaded the above code and created an access point with web server on it successfully. Now, if I want to send some commands remotely via WiFi, e.g. sending commands or data from my distant laptop/phone to the arduino/ESP8266 in order to control the sensors, what should I do?

Best, Jamshid

Thank you for the answer to life, the universe and everything! 😉
