WiFi Extension 2.0 http requests possible?

[rwblinn]

Hi,

 

is it possible or planned to send direct http requests via the new wifi extension 2.0 to the master brick and read its response?

Like:

No, sorry.

 

This feature was requested before. Still the same issues apply. For this approach to work the stack would need to know all the names of the Bricks/Bricklets/functions/parameters etc, which it doesn't.

 

This is what the various API bindings are for.

Thanks for clarification.

 

Reason for asking:

Find an easy way to control bricklets using Node-RED via wifi ext 2.0.

In the meantime, considering best would be via MQTT.
