Controlling Esp unit from cloud using websockets?

I am using a esp8266 12e developing board by NODEMCU given to me by my professor to get an initial setup going. I plan on buying ESPRUINO WIFIs so I can use https and other functionality so i can scale my device network.

I wrote my own simple web ide and am using a websocket server. I'll look at the docs for loopbackA and loopbackB and see if i can figure it out!

Thanks, once I'm done ill put up a tutorial.
