❗ Try it with PlatformIO http://platformio.org/ ❗
It is a combination between:
- WiFiManager https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager
- OTA Update (more info here https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/doc/ota_updates)
- Checks for stored Wifi and password
- If found tries to connect
- If successful - handles code and OTA
- If nothing is found or connection fails - creates AP - where you can set using default address 192.168.4.1 connection parameters
from https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager
- when y> > our ESP starts up, it sets it up in Station mode and tries to connect to a previously saved Access Point
- if this > > is unsuccessful (or no previous network saved) it moves the ESP into Access Point mode and spins up a DNS and WebServer > (default i> p 192.168.4.1)
- using any wifi enabled device with a browser (computer, phone, tablet) connect to the newly created Access Point
- because > of the Cap> tive Portal and the DNS server you will either get a 'Join to network' type of popup or get any domain you try to access redirected t> o the configuration portal
- choose one of the access points scanned, enter password, click save
- ESP will try to connect. If successful, it relinquishes control back to your app. If not, reconnect to AP and reconfigure.
