Can I link esp-eye to my home WiFi

[smbunn]

I finally got the demo application 'recognition_solution" running. The Windows guide gets you to try out 'hello_world'. DO NOT DO THIS!!
The hello_world example has its own IDF which is incompatible with the ESP-EYE. A full uninstall and re-install of the MSYS32 environment, then git pull of the ESP-WHO files and re-initialise of the requirements.txt got me going.

The ESP-EYE even recognized faces but tends to crash after a few minutes. The image is upside down as many people point out.
Linking into its own WiFi SSID is a pain, as it only appears as an SSID after you say "Hi Lotion" or is that "Hi Low Shin" as I can't pronounce the Chinese wake up word. I actually have the downloaded sample word play thru my speakers to wake up the chip. Why did Esspresif choose a word we Westerners cannot pronounce?

Anyway that is not my question. I wanted to have the esp-eye device join my home network rather than set up its own SSID. That way hopefully I can also get it to accept an IP Address by DHCP and then use my desktop browser to open the face_stream window.

Is this possible? Secondly I wanted it to send confirmation of identified face and ID via MQTT to my MQTT broker. I saw that the MQTT library was part of the build. Can anyone point me in the right direction to any documentation that will guide me? I am assuming that the general ESP32 chip means I can use any functions written for that chipset and they should compile and transfer to the ESP-EYE OK?

thanks

Hi~
I found your requirement similar to our latest example -- recognition_wechat(https://github.com/espressif/esp-who/tr ... ion_wechat), where cellphone and ESP-EYE board are connected to the same LAN, and the image captured by camera can be shown on the phone, furthermore, face detection and recognition are both supported.

Hi smbunn,

you can connect to your WiFi just disabling [EXAMPLE_ESP_WIFI_MODE_AP](https://github.com/espressif/esp-who/bl ... wifi.c#L39) in app_wifi.c, which enables station mode.

ESP-WHO references IDF 3.2, where esp-mqtt is already integrated. I would recommend to start with some of the examples here: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tr ... ocols/mqtt
Also please refer to the IDF documentation here:
https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... /mqtt.html

Also a note about hello_world example, please check also version of the API-docs (you might have looked at latest 4.0, whilst the esp-who references 3.2, which is the latest stable -- please note the [versions](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... sions.html) in IDF docs)
