What I would like to do is control my garden lights using the ESP8266. For this I use the Arduino approach from here. This works great, I use bootstrap and jquery even :D all is well!
Switching lights on and off using my code is fine but now I'd like to switch some continues routines, like blinking. I can start the blinking from the webpage but this code is a loop so I cannot get back to turn it off again.
I could make it blink for a set amount of loops, so eventually it will stop blinking and show the control webpage again.
Or I can add the blinking to the hardware, maybe use a 555 for the first time?
But there might be a better way of implementing this..
Using Google I found information about Break and Interrupts, not yet what I am looking for.
