Get list of access points / SSIDs in reach

ESPHome
16

I used that in the past to get the rssi of a certain ap (“AP Test”) which is in range of the esp:

wifi:
  id: wifithing
  networks:
  - ssid: ...

sensor:
  - platform: template
    name: "${upper_devicename} AP Test RSSI"
    id: wifiscanrssi
    update_interval: never

switch:
  - platform: template
    name: "${upper_devicename} Get AP Test RSSI"
    turn_on_action:
      lambda: |-
        auto results = id(wifithing).get_scan_result() ;
        for(auto item: results){ 
          auto ssid = item.get_ssid();
          auto rssi = item.get_rssi();
          if(ssid == "AP Test"){
            id(wifiscanrssi).publish_state(rssi);
          }
        }

Guess in 2022 a template button instead of the template switch would make sense :bulb:
