ESP8266 IoT Helper

This library contains a simple helper that you can orchestrate WiFi connection via SmartConfig and Arduino IDE + HTTP OTA update features all together.

How to use

Instantiate helper with valid HTTP OTA information:

ESP8266IoTHelper iotHelper("<HTTP OTA Server Host>", <HTTP OTA Server Port>, "<HTTP OTA Server Path>")

or with only SmartConfig and Arduino IDE OTA updates capability:

ESP8266IoTHelper iotHelper

Then in your setup function initialize it:

iotHelper.initialize()

And on your loop function call execute (preferably the first line):

iotHelper.execute()

What does it do

Initialize

Tries to connect WiFi with your previosly saved WiFi configuration. If can not connect WiFi, starts SmartConfig.
Sets up Arduino IDE OTA and HTTP OTA updates and checks for OTA updates if valid configuration supported.

Execute

Checks if the SmartConfig input pin is active (HIGH or LOW as your config) if enabled by configuration and if pin is active then starts SmartConfig.
Checks if Arduino IDE OTA updates available.
Checks HTTP OTA updates if valid configuration supported.

Functions
