The esp8266 protocol decoder supports the UART command protocol spoken by modules equipped with an ESP8266 WiFi transceiver chip.
Hardware
The ESP8266 chip contains a Xtensa LX106 CPU and a radio for IEEE 802.11 b/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 via RS232 commands.
