# AutoConnect for ESP8266/ESP32

An Arduino library for ESP8266/ESP32 WLAN configuration at run time with web interface. [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Hieromon/AutoConnect.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Hieromon/AutoConnect)

## Overview

To the dynamic configuration for joining to WLAN with SSID and PSK accordingly. It an Arduino library united with *ESP8266WebServer* class of ESP8266 or *WebServer* class of ESP32.
Easily implementing the Web interface constituting the WLAN for ESP8266/ESP32 WiFi connection. With this library to make a sketch easily which connects from ESP8266/ESP32 to the access point at runtime by the web interface without hard-coded SSID and password.

### No need pre-coded SSID &amp; password

It is no needed hard-coding in advance the SSID and Password into the sketch to connect between ESP8266/ESP32 and WLAN. You can input SSID &amp; Password from a smartphone via the web interface at runtime.

### Simple usage

AutoConnect control screen will be displayed automatically for establishing new connections. It aids by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_portal">captive portal</a> when vested the connection cannot be detected.<br>By using the [AutoConnect menu](https://hieromon.github.io/AutoConnect/menu/index.html), to manage the connections convenient.

### Store the established connection

The connection authentication data as credentials are saved automatically in EEPROM of ESP8266/ESP32 and You can select the past SSID from the [AutoConnect menu](https://hieromon.github.io/AutoConnect/menu/index.html).

### Easy to embed in

AutoConnect can be embedded easily into your sketch, just "**begin**" and "**handleClient**".

###  Lives with the your sketches

The sketches which provide the web page using ESP8266WebServer/WebServer there is, AutoConnect will not disturb it. AutoConnect can use an already instantiated ESP8266WebServer object(ESP8266) or WebServer object(ESP32), or itself can assign it.

## Supported hardware

Apply the [Arduino core](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino) of the ESP8266 Community.

## Change log

### [0.9.5] Aug. 27, 2018
- Supports the espressif arduino-esp32 core.
- Fixed that crash may occur if the number of stored credentials in the EEPROM is smaller than the number of found WiFi networks.

### [0.9.4] May 5, 2018.
- Automatically focus passphrase after selecting SSID with Configure New AP.
- Supports AutoConnectConfig::autoReconnect option, it will scan the WLAN when it can not connect to the default SSID, apply the applicable credentials if it is saved, and try reconnecting.

### [0.9.3] March 23, 2018.
- Supports a static IP address assignment.

### [0.9.2] March 19, 2018.
- Improvement of string literal declaration with the examples, no library change.

### [0.9.1] March 13, 2018.
