A couple years ago I played with a the RSSI (received signal strength indicator) data from the ESP8266 over WiFi.

For my application there were far too many external factors that would effect the data. -Denny On Mon, Oct 7, 2019 at 7:43 AM Neil wrote: > Hi, > > How realistic would it be to locate an object on a field using signal > strength?
