How can I control ESP8266 over the internet?
The ESP8266 can be controlled from your local Wi-Fi network or from the internet (after port forwarding). The ESP-01 module has GPIO pins that can be programmed to turn an LED or a relay ON/OFF through the internet. The module can be programmed using an Arduino/USB-to-TTL converter through the serial pins (RX,TX).
How do I turn on ESP8266 WiFi?
To see if it works, open the Wi-Fi settings on your computer, look for a network called “ESP8266 Access Point”, enter the password “thereisnospoon”, and connect to it.

Why is my ESP8266 soft access point not working?
Because the ESP8266 doesn’t connect further to a wired network (like your router), it is called soft-AP (soft Access Point). This means that if you try to load libraries or use firmware from the internet, it will not work. It also doesn’t work if you try to make HTTP requests to services on the internet like publishing sensor readings to the cloud.
