Hi all,
I would like to do a project where i have my raspberry pi with home assistant and 2 esp 8266 far away from it and from the wifi network and i would like that one of the esp act like an wifi hotspot for the second one and like a thermostat because he can connect to the wifi.

So I need an esp8266 that can do a hotspot for an another esp so that both the esp can send temperature data to the server

Thanks

That sounds like a technically difficult project with no direct support from ESPHome. You should perhaps check out LoRa. I unfortunately have no direct experience with it, besides reading up on it a fair bit. Have a look here too: Sending data via LoRa on ESPHome.
