ESP_WiFiManager

arduino-library-badge GitHub release GitHub contributions welcome GitHub issues

Important Note

This ESP_WiFiManager has just been modified to create the new ESPAsync_WiFiManager Library in order to use the better and more efficient ESPAsyncWebServer Library, instead of the (ESP8266)WebServer library.

The new ESPAsync_WiFiManager library is based on and sync'ed with ESP_WiFiManager. Therefore, all the features currently supported by this ESP_WiFiManager will be available to the new library. The code change is to port to the new library is also very negligible, mostly just changing the Class name from ESP_WiFiManager to ESPAsync_WiFiManager.

Why do we need the new Async ESPAsync_WiFiManager library

  • Using asynchronous network means that you can handle more than one connection at the same time
  • You are called once the request is ready and parsed
  • When you send the response, you are immediately ready to handle other connections while the server is taking care of sending the response in the background
  • Speed is OMG
  • Easy to use API, HTTP Basic and Digest MD5 Authentication (default), ChunkedResponse
  • Easily extendible to handle any type of content
  • Supports Continue 100
  • Async WebSocket plugin offering different locations without extra servers or ports
  • Async EventSource (Server-Sent Events) plugin to send events to the browser
  • URL Rewrite plugin for conditional and permanent url rewrites
  • ServeStatic plugin that supports cache, Last-Modified, default index and more
  • Simple template processing engine to handle templates

To appreciate the power of the ESPAsyncWebServer and underlying Async libraries, please compare the more efficient Async_ESP32_FSWebServer example example code against the code of its complicated twin ESP32_FSWebServer.

Thanks to cancodr for requesting an enhancement in Issue #29: Is it possible to use AsyncWebServer.h instead of WebServer.h?, leading to the new ESPAsync_WiFiManager Library.

Manual Install

  1. Navigate to ESP_WiFiManager page.
  2. Download the latest release ESP_WiFiManager-master.zip.
  3. Extract the zip file to ESP_WiFiManager-master directory
  4. Copy the whole ESP_WiFiManager-master folder to Arduino libraries' directory such as ~/Arduino/libraries/.

VS Code & PlatformIO:

  1. Install VS Code
  2. Install PlatformIO
  3. Install ESP_WiFiManager library by using Library Manager. Search for ESP_WiFiManager in Platform.io Author's Libraries
  4. Use included platformio.ini file from examples to ensure that all dependent libraries will installed automatically. Please visit documentation for the other options and examples at Project Configuration File

How It Works

  • The ConfigOnSwitch example shows how it works and should be used as the basis for a sketch that uses this library.
  • The concept of ConfigOnSwitch is that a new ESP32 / ESP8266 will start a WiFi ConfigPortal when powered up and save the configuration data in non volatile memory. Thereafter, the ConfigPortal will only be started again if a button is pushed on the ESP32 / ESP8266 module.
  • Using any WiFi enabled device with a browser (computer, phone, tablet) connect to the newly created Access Point (AP) using configurable SSID and Password (specified in sketch)
// SSID and PW for Config Portal
String ssid = "ESP_" + String(ESP_getChipId(), HEX);
const char* password = "your_password";

then connect WebBrowser to configurable ConfigPortal IP address, default is 192.168.4.1

  • Choose one of the access points scanned, enter password, click Save.
  • ESP will restart, then try to connect to the WiFi netwotk using STA-only mode, without running the ConfigPortal WebServer and WiFi AP. See Accessing manager after connection.

16. Using MultiWiFi auto(Re)connect feature

  1. In loop()
void check_WiFi(void)
{
  if ( (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) )
  {
    Serial.println("\nWiFi lost. Call connectMultiWiFi in loop");
    connectMultiWiFi();
  }
}

void check_status(void)

  static ulong checkwifi_timeout    = 0;

  static ulong current_millis;

#define WIFICHECK_INTERVAL    1000L

  current_millis = millis();
  
  // Check WiFi every WIFICHECK_INTERVAL (1) seconds.
  if ((current_millis > checkwifi_timeout) || (checkwifi_timeout == 0))
  {
    check_WiFi();
    checkwifi_timeout = current_millis + WIFICHECK_INTERVAL;
  }
}

void loop()
{
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly
  check_status();
}

HOWTO Open Config Portal

  • When you want to open a config portal, with default DHCP hostname ESP8266-XXXXXX or ESP32-XXXXXX, just add
ESP_WiFiManager ESP_wifiManager;

If you'd like to have a personalized hostname (RFC952-conformed,- 24 chars max,- only a..z A..Z 0..9 '-' and no '-' as last char)

add

ESP_WiFiManager ESP_wifiManager("Personalized-HostName");

then later call

ESP_wifiManager.startConfigPortal()

While in AP mode, connect to it using its SSID (ESP_XXXXXX) / Password ("your_password"), then open a browser to the AP IP, default 192.168.4.1, configure wifi then save. The WiFi connection information will be saved in non volatile memory. It will then reboot and autoconnect.

You can also change the AP IP by:

//set custom ip for portal
ESP_wifiManager.setAPStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(10,0,1,1), IPAddress(10,0,1,1), IPAddress(255,255,255,0));

and use fixed / dynamic / random AP channel by:

// From v1.0.10 only
// Set config portal channel, default = 1. Use 0 => random channel from 1-13
ESP_wifiManager.setConfigPortalChannel(0);
//////

Once WiFi network information is saved in the ESP32 / ESP8266, it will try to autoconnect to WiFi every time it is started, without requiring any function calls in the sketch.

So, how it works?

In ConfigPortal Mode, it starts an access point called ESP_XXXXXX. Connect to it using the configurable password you can define in the code. For example, your_password (see examples):

// SSID and PW for Config Portal
String ssid = "ESP_" + String(ESP_getChipId(), HEX);
const char* password = "your_password";

After you connected, please, go to http://192.168.4.1, you'll see this Main page:

Select Information to enter the Info page where the board info will be shown (long page)

or short page (default)

Select Configuration to enter this page where you can select an AP and specify its WiFi Credentials

Enter your credentials, then click Save. The WiFi Credentials will be saved and the board reboots to connect to the selected WiFi AP.

If you're already connected to a listed WiFi AP and don't want to change anything, just select Exit Portal from the Main page to reboot the board and connect to the previously-stored AP. The WiFi Credentials are still intact.

Documentation

Password protect the configuration Access Point

You can password protect the ConfigPortal AP. Simply add an SSID as the first parameter and the password as a second parameter to startConfigPortal. See the above examples. A short password seems to have unpredictable results so use one that's around 8 characters or more in length. The guidelines are that a wifi password must consist of 8 to 63 ASCII-encoded characters in the range of 32 to 126 (decimal)

ESP_wifiManager.startConfigPortal( SSID , password )

Callbacks

Save settings

This gets called when custom parameters have been set AND a connection has been established. Use it to set a flag, so when all the configuration finishes, you can save the extra parameters somewhere.

See ConfigOnSwitchFS Example.

ESP_wifiManager.setSaveConfigCallback(saveConfigCallback);

saveConfigCallback declaration and example

//flag for saving data
bool shouldSaveConfig = false;

//callback notifying us of the need to save config
void saveConfigCallback () {
  Serial.println("Should save config");
  shouldSaveConfig = true;
}

ConfigPortal Timeout

If you need to set a timeout so the ESP32 / ESP8266 doesn't hang waiting to be configured for ever.

ESP_wifiManager.setConfigPortalTimeout(120);

which will wait 2 minutes (120 seconds). When the time passes, the startConfigPortal function will return and continue the sketch, unless you're accessing the Config Portal. In this case, the startConfigPortal function will stay until you save config data or exit the Config Portal.

Custom Parameters

Many applications need configuration parameters like MQTT host and port, Blynk or emoncms tokens, etc. While it is possible to use ESP_WiFiManager to collect additional parameters it is better to read these parameters from a web service once ESP_WiFiManager has been used to connect to the internet.

To capture other parameters with ESP_WiFiManager is a lot more involved than all the other features and requires adding custom HTML to your form. If you want to do it with ESP_WiFiManager see the example ConfigOnSwitchFS

Custom IP Configuration

You can set a custom IP for both AP (access point, config mode) and STA (station mode, client mode, normal project state)

Custom Access Point IP Configuration

This will set your captive portal to a specific IP should you need/want such a feature. Add the following snippet before startConfigPortal()

//set custom ip for portal
ESP_wifiManager.setAPStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(10,0,1,1), IPAddress(10,0,1,1), IPAddress(255,255,255,0));
Custom Station (client) Static IP Configuration

This will use the specified IP configuration instead of using DHCP in station mode.

ESP_wifiManager.setSTAStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(192,168,0,99), IPAddress(192,168,0,1), IPAddress(255,255,255,0));

Custom HTML, CSS, Javascript

There are various ways in which you can inject custom HTML, CSS or Javascript into the ConfigPortal.

The options are:

  • inject custom head element You can use this to any html bit to the head of the ConfigPortal. If you add a <style> element, bare in mind it overwrites the included css, not replaces.
ESP_wifiManager.setCustomHeadElement("<style>html{filter: invert(100%); -webkit-filter: invert(100%);}</style>");
  • inject a custom bit of html in the configuration form
ESP_WMParameter custom_text("<p>This is just a text paragraph</p>");
ESP_wifiManager.addParameter(&custom_text);
  • inject a custom bit of html in a configuration form element Just add the bit you want added as the last parameter to the custom parameter constructor.
ESP_WMParameter custom_mqtt_server("server", "mqtt server", "iot.eclipse", 40, " readonly");

Filter Networks

You can filter networks based on signal quality and show/hide duplicate networks.

  • If you would like to filter low signal quality networks you can tell WiFiManager to not show networks below an arbitrary quality %;
ESP_wifiManager.setMinimumSignalQuality(10);

will not show networks under 10% signal quality. If you omit the parameter it defaults to 8%;

  • You can also remove or show duplicate networks (default is remove). Use this function to show (or hide) all networks.
ESP_wifiManager.setRemoveDuplicateAPs(false);

Example ConfigOnDRD_FS_MQTT_Ptr

/****************************************************************************************************************************
  This example will open a Config Portal when there is no stored WiFi Credentials or when a DRD is detected.
  
  You can reconfigure to use another pin, such as the convenience FLASH / BOOT button @ PIN_D0;.
   
  A password is required to connect to the Config Portal so that only who know the password can access the Config Portal.
  
  The Credentials, being input via Config Portal, will then be saved into LittleFS / SPIFFS file, and be used to connect to 
  Adafruit MQTT Server at "io.adafruit.com" and publish a Temperature Topic

  1. This is terminal debug output when running ESP32_FSWebServer_DRD on ESP32 ESP32_DEV.. Config Portal was requested by DRD to input and save Credentials. The boards then connected to WiFi AP HueNet1 using new Static IP successfully. WiFi AP HueNet1 is then lost, and board autoreconnects itself to backup WiFi AP HueNet2.

Debug

Debug is enabled by default on Serial. To disable, add before startConfigPortal()

ESP_wifiManager.setDebugOutput(false);

You can also change the debugging level from 0 to 4

// Use from 0 to 4. Higher number, more debugging messages and memory usage.
#define _WIFIMGR_LOGLEVEL_    3

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the ESP32 / ESP8266 core for Arduino.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the ESP32 / ESP8266 core to the latest version because I am using some newly added function.

If you connect to the created configuration Access Point but the ConfigPortal does not show up, just open a browser and type in the IP of the web portal, by default 192.168.4.1.
