H holdemadvantage Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 8, 2014 #4 Thank you bot, i will check... @Erel, as i see HttpServer will be useful if you connect to a device in the same wifi network, but i am not able to figure out how to do over the internet. Maybe an online database and a cycle to check if the status has been modified, but i don't think this would be the best solution Upvote 0
