!!! info "Luxbar" The AutoConnect menu is developed using the LuxBar which is licensed under the MIT License. See the License.

Where the from

The AutoConnect menu appears when you access the AutoConnect root path. It is assigned to "/_ac" located on ESP8266 local IP address by default. This location can be changed in the sketch. The following screen will appear at access to http://{localIP}/_ac as the root path. This is the statistics of the current WiFi connection. You can access the menu from the here. (e.g. http://192.168.244.1/_ac for SoftAP mode.)
To invoke the menu tap at right on top.

!!! note "What's local IP?" A local IP means Local IP at connection established or SoftAP's IP.

Right on top

Currently, AutoConnect supports four menus. Undermost menu returns to home path of its sketch.

  • Configure new AP : Configure SSID and Password for new access point.
  • Open SSIDs : Opens the past SSID which has been established connection from EEPROM.
  • Disconnect : Disconnects current connection.
  • Reset... : Rest the ESP8266 module.
  • HOME : Return to user home page.

Configure new AP

Scan all available access point and display it. Strength and security of the detected AP are marked. The is indicated for the SSID that needs a security key. "Hidden:" means the number of hidden SSIDs discovered.
Enter SSID and Passphrase and tap "apply" to try connection.

Open SSIDs

Once it was established connection, its SSID and Password will be stored to the EEPROM of ESP8266 automatically. The Open SSIDs menu reads the saved SSID credentials from the EEPROM. The stored credential data are listed by the SSID as shown below. Its label is a clickable button. To tap the SSID button starts connection it.

Disconnect

Disconnect ESP8266 from the current connection. After the menu tapped, AutoConnect menu cannot be accessed. Once disconnected, you will need to set the SSID again to connect to the WLAN.

It can also reset the ESP8266 automatically after being disconnected from the API used in the sketch.

Reset...

Reset the ESP8266, it will be rebooted. After rebooting complete, the ESP8266 begins establishing the previous connection by WIFI_STA mode and the esp8266ap as SoftAP disappears from the WLAN.

!!! warning "Not every module will be rebooted normally" The Reset menu is using the ESP.reset() function. This is an almost hardware reset. In order to resume the sketch normally, the state of GPIO0 is important. Since this depends on the circuit implementation for each module, not every module will be rebooted normally. See also FAQ.
