Module esp_now

ESP-NOW is a kind of connectionless Wi-Fi communication protocol that is defined by Espressif.

In ESP-NOW, application data is encapsulated in a vendor-specific action frame and then transmitted from one Wi-Fi device to another without connection. CTR with CBC-MAC Protocol(CCMP) is used to protect the action frame for security. ESP-NOW is widely used in smart light, remote controlling, sensor, etc.

EspNowManager

Manages the EspNow instance lifecycle while ensuring it remains active.

EspNowReceiver

This is the receiver part of ESP-NOW. You can get this receiver by splitting an EspNow instance.

EspNowSender

This is the sender part of ESP-NOW. You can get this sender by splitting a EspNow instance.

EspNowWithWifiCreateToken

A token used to create an EspNow instance while Wi-Fi is enabled.

PeerCount

Holds the count of peers in an ESP-NOW communication context.

PeerInfo

ESP-NOW peer information parameters.

ReceiveInfo

Information about a received packet.

ReceivedData

Stores information about the received data, including the packet content and associated information.

SendFuture

A future representing the result of an asynchronous ESP-NOW send operation.

SendWaiter

This struct is returned by a sync esp now send. Invoking wait method of this struct will block current task until the callback function of esp now send is called and return the status of previous sending.
