Hi Matrix Team,
Do you have any idea about to configure Alexa or Google Assistant with ESP12F / ESP8266 components? I would like to control the home appliances through Alexa/Google with ESP series Wifi module. It will be good if you add ESP12F / ESP8266 as target and can easily configure the Alexa voice control through FC. ESP12F module is quite cheap cost in market. Please advice.

Hi Karthick,

I'm currently investigating this for the ESP32 hardware but should also be possible via an ESP8266. We already have support for MQTT which is very powerful. For Alexa type stuff there is ITTT which we are also looking into.

Hi Benj,
Thanks, Is there any working example Flowcode for MQTT with ESP8266?

Hello,

Here's a quick example for you to play with, let us know how you get on.

You can connect to the Thingspeak MQTT servers or you can create your own MQTT server using something like Mosquitto on a raspberry pi.
