Which is the simplest way to display current state of FSM on web page

Q&A Forum › Category: ESP8266 › Which is the simplest way to display current state of FSM on web page

Paul French asked 2 years ago

I have a system running a Finite State Machine and I want to be able to view the current State on a web browser or app. I just need to read this, not trying to control the ESP8266.
Currently, I have my code displaying the System State only when there is a change in State in the Serial Monitor. So I am hoping to replicate this logic to display the System State on a web page or app.
I have reviewed the various web tutorials but I have a hard time trying to understand the merits of the various web based publishing methods and libraries.
What approach do you recommend?

Hi.
I recommend using server-sent events. The states will be updated on the web browser without the need to refresh the web browser or send commands to the ESP32…
