Controlling Esp unit from cloud using websockets?

Ok Ill try that, but I think the infinite loop is being caused by the ws server broadcasting the msg to everyone. So basically if the device sends something it gets something back which it then sends out again... I'll have to update my server for individual addressing.

edit. I tried that and there was no response at all. Im going to work on the indvidual addressing for ws to fix the bounce back of msgs for the esp8266.
