AutoConnect API

Constructors

AutoConnect

AutoConnect()

AutoConnect default constructor. This entry activates WebServer internally and the web server is allocated internal.

AutoConnect(ESP8266WebServer& webServer)

Run the AutoConnect site using the externally ensured ESP 8266 WebServer. User's added URI handler response can be included in handleClient method.

**Parameters**
webServerA reference of ESP8266WebServer instance.

Public member functions

begin

bool begin()

bool begin(const char* ssid, const char* passphraase)

bool begin(const char* ssid, const char* passphraase, unsinged long timeout)

Starts establishing WiFi connection. Before establishing, start the Web server and DNS server for the captive portal. Then begins connection establishment in WIFI_STA mode. If connection can not established with the specified SSID and password, switch to WIFI_AP_STA mode and activate SoftAP.

**Parameters**
ssidSSID to be connected.
passphrasePassword for connection.
timeoutA time out value in milliseconds for waiting connection.
**Return value**
trueConnection established, AutoConnect service started with WIFI_STA mode.
falseCould not connected, Captive portal started with WIFI_AP_STA mode.

config

bool config(AutoConnectConfig& config)

bool config(const char* ap, const char* password = nullptr)

Sets SoftAP's WiFi configuration.

**Parameters**
configReference to AutoConnectConfig containing SoftAP's parameters.
apSSID for SoftAP. The default value is **esp8266ap**.
passwordPassword for SodtAP. The default value is **12345678**.
**Return value**
trueSuccessfully configured.
falseConfiguration parameter is invalid, some values out of range.

end

void end()

Stops AutoConnect captive portal service. Release ESP8266WebServer and DNSServer.

!!! warning "Attention to end" The end function releases the instance of ESP8266WebServer and DNSServer. It can not process them after the end function.

handleClient

void handleClient()

Handling for the AutoConnect web interface. Invoke the handleClient of the parent web server to process client request of the AutoConnect WEB interface. No effects when the web server is not available.

handleRequest

void handleRequest()

Handling for the AutoConnect menu request.

!!! warning "About used in combination with handleClient" The handleRequest function is not supposed to use with AutoConnect::handleClient. It should be used with ESP8266::handleClient.

home

void home(String uri)

Put a user site's home URI. The URI specified by home is linked from "HOME" in the AutoConnect portal menu.

**Parameters**
uri A URI string of user site's home path.

host

Returns the reference of the ESP8266WebServer which is allocated in AutoConnect automatically.

ESP8266WebServer& host()
**Return value**
A reference of the ESP8266WebServer.

!!! note "&reference is not a pointer" A reference cannot be re-assigned, and must be assigned at initialization. It's like as bind as alias.
cpp ESP8266WebServer& server = portal.host(); server.handleClient(); or
cpp portal.host().handleClient();

onDetect

void onDetect(DetectExit_ft fn)

Register the function which will call from AutoConnect at the start of the captive portal.

**Parameters**
fnFunction called at the captive portal start.

An fn specifies the function called when the captive portal starts. Its prototype declaration is defined as "DetectFunc_ft".

typedef std::function<bool(IPAddress softapIP)>  DetectExit_ft
**Parameters**
softapIPAn IP address of SoftAP for the captive portal.
**Retuen value**
trueContinues captive portal handling.
falseCancel the captive portal. AutoConnect::begin function will return with a false.

onNotFound

void onNotFound(ESP8266WebServer::THandlerFunction fn)

Register the handler function for undefined URL request detected.

**Parameters**
fnA function of the "not found" handler.

AutoConnectConfig API

Constructor

AutoConnectConfig

AutoConnectConfig();

AutoConnectConfig(const char* ap, const char* password);
**Parameters**
apSSID for SoftAP. The length should be up to 31. The default value is **esp8266ap**.
passwordPassword for SodtAP. The length should be from 8 to up to 63. The default value is **12345678**.

Public member variables

apid

SoftAP's SSID.

**Type**
String

apip

Sets IP address for Soft AP in captive portal. When AutoConnect fails the initial WiFi.begin, it starts the captive portal with the IP address specified this.

**Type**
IPAddress

autoReset

Reset ESP8266 module automatically when WLAN disconnected.

**Type**
bool
**Value**
trueReset after WiFi disconnected automatically.
falseNo reset.

autoRise

Captive portal activation switch. False for disabling the captive portal. It prevents starting the captive portal even if the connection at the first WiFi.begin fails.

**Type**
bool
**Value**
trueEnable the captive portal. This is the default.
falseDisable the captive portal.

autoSave

The credential saved automatically at the connection establishment.

**Type**
AC_SAVECREDENTIAL_t
**Value**
AC_SAVECREDENTIAL_AUTOThe credential saved automatically.
AC_SAVECREDENTIAL_NEVERThe credential no saved.

boundaryOffset

Sets the offset address of the credential storage area for EEPROM. This value must be between greater than 4 and less than flash sector size. (4096 by SDK)
The default value is 0.

**Type**
uint16_t

!!! warning "It will conflict with user data." If the sketch leaves this offset at zero, it will conflict the storage area of credentials with the user sketch owned data. It needs to use the behind of credential area.

channel

The channel number of WIFi when SoftAP starts.

**Type**
uint8_t
**Value**
1 ~ 14. The default value is 1.

!!! info "See Application note" Espressif Systems had announced the application note about Wi-Fi channel selection.

gateway

Sets gateway address for Soft AP in captive portal. When AutoConnect fails the initial WiFi.begin, it starts the captive portal with the IP address specified this.

**Type**
IPAddress

hidden

Sets SoftAP to hidden SSID.

**Type**
uint8_t
**Value**
0SSID will be appeared. This is the default.
1SSID will be hidden.

homeUri

Sets the home path of user sketch. This path would be linked from 'HOME' in the AutoConnect menu.

**Type**
String

netmask

Sets subnet mask for Soft AP in captive portal. When AutoConnect fails the initial WiFi.begin, it starts the captive portal with the IP address specified this.

**Type**
IPAddress

psk

Sets password for SoftAP. The length should be from 8 to up to 63. The default value is 12345678.

**Type**
String

AutoConnectConfig example

AutoConenct        Portal;
AutoConenctConfig  Config("", "passpass");    // SoftAp name is determined at runtime
Config.apid = ESP.hostname();                 // Retrieve host name to SotAp identification
Config.apip = IPAddress(192,168,10,101);      // Sets SoftAP IP address
Config.gateway = IPAddress(192,168,10,1);     // Sets WLAN router IP address
Config.netmask = IPAddress(255,255,255,0);    // Sets WLAN scope
Config.autoSave = AC_SAVECREDENTIAL_NEVER;    // No save credential
COnfig.boundaryOffet = 64;                    // Reserve 64 bytes for the user data in EEPROM. 
Config.homeUri = "/index.html"				  // Sets home path of the sketch application
Portal.config(Config);                        // Configure AutoConnect
Portal.begin();                               // Starts and behaves captive portal

Something extra

The library presents two PNG icons which can be used to embed a hyperlink to the AutoConnect menu.

  • Bar type AutoConnect menu
  • Cog type AutoConnect menu

To reference the icon, use the AUTOCONNECT_LINK macro in the sketch. It expands into the string literal as an HTML <a></a> tag with PNG embedded of the AutoConnect menu hyperlinks. Icon type is specified by the parameter of the macro.

BAR_32Bars icon, 32x32.
BAR_48Bars icon, 48x48.
COG_24Cog icon, 24x24.
COG_32Cog icon, 32x32.

!!! note "Usage" arduino String html = "<html>"; html += AUTOCONNECT_LINK(BAR_32); html += "</html>"; server.send(200, "text/html", html);
