Get list of access points / SSIDs in reach

ESPHome

I’ve been investigating the performance of these solutions. It seems that using the Arduino WiFi functions in the lambda gets the results faster, whereas the global_wifi_component yields a result when the node reconnects, and then another result about 15 seconds later.

Here is the ESPHome code for both methods:

api:
  services:
    - service: scan_wifi
      then:
        - lambda: |-
            wifi::global_wifi_component->start_scanning();
    - service: reset_wifi
      then:
        - lambda: |-
            WiFi.disconnect();
            WiFi.scanNetworks();
            WiFi.begin();
