Hi there

Great concept by the way. Do lightbots still function and respond to command if there is no internet ? Do the continue to operate if there is only wifi and without and access point ?

I look forward to your reply.

Hello Den,

the CTBot library, as a telegram bot integration for ESP8266, uses the Telegram server to send/receive messages. So, in order to receive (and send, obviously) messages, the ESP8266 needs a internet connection: a ESP8266 connected to a WiFi LAN without internet access does not be able to send/receive messages.

In other words, you can’t connect DIRECTLY to the ESP8266 but you need to interact with the ESP8266 by the Telegram Server.

I hope that I answered your question. Regards,

Stefano
