Is there a way to get the wifi signal strength while communicating?

[yanshay]

I only found a way to get signal strength using controller.scan_with_config (I'm using embassy and awaiting the call), but it prevented communication from working at the same time on other tasks.

Is there a way to get signal strength while doing network communication?

How are you calling this? In a loop?

[yanshay]

This is how I call it.
I did provide a 5sec duration thinking that in order to scan it may take time.
During those 5sec everything seem to halt (even though it is an async call).
I'm looking to get the signal strength of the SSID I'm connected to, so scanning seems a strange way to do it.

                loop {
                    let cfg = esp_wifi::wifi::ScanConfig{
                        ssid:Some("DEV"),
                        bssid: None,
                        channel: None,
                        show_hidden: false,
                        scan_type: esp_wifi::wifi::ScanTypeConfig::Passive(core::time::Duration::from_secs(5))
                    };
                    let res = controller.scan_with_config::<1>(cfg).await;
                    Timer::after(Duration::from_millis(1000)).await 
                }
