ESP8266

STeven,
Are you familiar with the ESP8266 wifi chip?
I have Arduino code that I load into an 8266 chip to create a web server, read temperature data from a 18B20 temp sensor , and transmit temperature data for viewing on a web page. I did not write the code, I just downloaded and it works.
I was wondering if I could use RR to log the data from one or multiple 8266 devices.
Going further, I was thinking it might be interesting to use RR as a data hub to monitor various sensor states on various ESP 8266, and given a set of conditions transmit commands to other ESP 8266 to activate the GPIO.
An example would be using an esp8266 and 18B20 sensor input to monitor the temperature in an attic space. If the temp gets too hot, send a command to another esp8266 to activate one of 2 gpio and turn on a fan or something.
Thanks for the time.
Regards,
Steve Woodrough

Below is the sample code that is loaded into the ESP8266 using the Arduino IDE.
The temp sensor data loads a web page at 192.168.1.2
I figure I should be able to use the socket client module to "capture" the temperature data but I'm not having much luck with the configuration. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Steve

Attached is my lame attempt to get this off the ground. I can make a socket connection at 192.168.1.2:80 and I am trying to create a variable named TEMPERATURE. I'm sure I'm missing a step or two and some configuration.
Thanks
