This example demonstrates how to monitor WiFi signal strength (RSSI) using an ESP32 device and send the data to Gazer Cloud over HTTPS. The RSSI value is converted to a percentage for easier interpretation.
Make sure to replace the WiFi credentials in the code with your own network's SSID and password.
Please replace the Gazer Cloud API_KEY in the code with your own API key and corresponding "view" URL.
