Arduino won´t communicate with ESP8266

Using Arduino IDE 1.x
1

Hi ya!
I am trying to build this:

My code is on that web page, i have 1:1 that same code.
All my Serial Monitor is giving me, is this on an endless loop:

AT+CIPSTART="TCP","184.106.153.149",80
AT+CIPSEND=55
AT+CIPCLOSE

I have arduino UNO (new) and ESP8266 (new). IDE 2.2.1.
Connections are 100%.
When i unplug pins RX and TX for uploading, upload Bare Minimum (or whatever code it may be), connect RX and TX again, write "AT" on Serial Monitor, i receive nothing, no "OK".
I have built traffic lights, temperature measurements, everything works, i can make the led blink and Serial Monitor shows DHT11 temperature and humidity.

But ESP8266 i can not get to work. I did attach 3.3V batteries on ESP, i even tried connecting 4.5V christmas light voltage regulator on that thing, nothing.

Just endless loop of this:

"
AT
AT+CIPSTART="TCP","184.106.153.149",80
AT+CIPSEND=55
AT+CIPCLOSE
AT+CIPSTART="TCP","184.106.153.149",80
AT+CIPSEND=53
AT+CIPCLOSE
AT+CIPSTART="TCP","184.106.153.149",80
"
Anyone, how should i continue to solve this?
I do have RX and TX connected, but for some reason i need to unplug those while uploading or uploading will fail.

That's the connection to Serial Monitor.

Thanks for feedback. I did update my original post.
My RX and TX are connected, i just need to unplug them while uploading but after succesful upload, i will again connect them on the board.
If i write "AT" on Status monitor, nothing will show up. No response.
