Having esp-now run on Linux (like Raspberry Pi).

I really like the esp-now protocol. At this moment you can only talk between esp's and for some long time i would love to see a solution to my raspberry pi as well.

Therefor i have a small request could you build something that allows the PI directly to the esp-now protocol. I know there was a team that started creating something like that but i never got it working for me.

Are you willing to create something like this? I think it would make esp-now more useful in the future.

I think esp-now is a proprietary protocol, however, if you really want to run it on RPi, you could use ESP8266/ESP32 as a bridge, write some UART to esp-now interfaces to complete the task.

That is indeed an option to go. but something native is imho nicer to have,

@poky is right. And I think it is difficult to push other vendor develop the same esp-now.

Take a look at https://github.com/thomasfla/Linux-ESPNOW But you need a wifi adapter with monitor capabilities so the RPi wifi adapter will not do.

yes, i have been following that project, but never got it working or understand how to get it working. The reason that that exist was the reason for me to ask for a official version.

@nielsnl68 I agree with @LJYSP , so it's better to following that project.
