<div style="background-color: lightgrey; border: solid thin grey;">
Because of various problems with the UART commands
(random lockups, no escaping of special characters, responses of multiple commands mixing up, ...),
the work on this decoder has stopped.
If you own such a chip, you are probably better off by directly reprogramming it's CPU,

The esp8266 protocol decoder supports the UART command protocol spoken by modules equipped with an ESP8266 WiFi transceiver chip.

Because of various problems with the UART commands (random lockups, no escaping of special characters, responses of multiple commands mixing up, ...), the work on this decoder has stopped. If you own such a chip, you are probably better off by directly reprogramming it's CPU, this article provides a good starting point.

Hardware

The ESP8266 chip contains an Xtensa LX106 CPU and a radio for IEEE 802.11b/g/n.

Modules

Various online marketplaces sell modules containing the ESP8266 (and a few assisting components) that comes preprogrammed with a TCP/IP stack that can be controlled with commands send via RS232. There seem to be eleven different types of modules around, called "ESP-01" to "ESP-11" (see this post).
