<h1>AutoConnect menu</h1>
<div class="admonition info">
<p class="admonition-title">Luxbar</p>
<p>The AutoConnect menu is developed using the <a href="https://github.com/balzss/luxbar">LuxBar</a> which is licensed under the MIT License. See the <a href="../license/index.html">License</a>.</p>
</div>
<h2 id="where-the-from"><i class="fa fa-external-link"></i> Where the from<a class="headerlink" href="#where-the-from" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
<p>The AutoConnect menu appears when you access the <strong>AutoConnect root path</strong>. It is assigned "<strong>/_ac</strong>" located on ESP8266 <em>local IP address</em> by default. This location can be changed in the sketch. The following screen will appear at access to <code class="codehilite">http://{localIP}/_ac</code> as the root path. This is the statistics of the current WiFi connection. You can access the menu from the here, to invoke it tap <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> at right on top. (e.g. <code class="codehilite">http://192.168.244.1/_ac</code> for SoftAP mode.)</p>
<p><img src="../images/ac.png" style="border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-color:lightgrey;width:280px;" /></p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">What's local IP?</p>
<p>A local IP means Local IP at connection established or SoftAP's IP.</p>
</div>
<h2 id="right-on-top"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i> Right on top<a class="headerlink" href="#right-on-top" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
<p>Currently, AutoConnect supports four menus. Undermost menu as "HOME" returns to the home path of its sketch.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Configure new AP</strong>: Configure SSID and Password for new access point.</li>
<li><strong>Open SSIDs</strong>: Opens the past SSID which has been established connection from EEPROM.</li>
<li><strong>Disconnect</strong>: Disconnects current connection.</li>
<li><strong>Reset...</strong>: Rest the ESP8266 module.</li>
<li><strong>HOME</strong>: Return to user home page.</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="../images/menu.png" style="width:280px;" /></p>
<h2 id="configure-new-ap"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i> Configure new AP<a class="headerlink" href="#configure-new-ap" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
<p>Scan all available access point and display it. Strength and security of the detected AP are marked. The <i class="fa fa-lock"></i> is indicated for the SSID that needs a security key. "<strong>Hidden:</strong>" means the number of hidden SSIDs discovered.<br />
Enter SSID and Passphrase and tap "<strong>apply</strong>" to starts a connection. </p>
<p><img src="../images/newap.png" style="border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-color:lightgrey;width:280px;" /></p>
<h2 id="open-ssids"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i> Open SSIDs<a class="headerlink" href="#open-ssids" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
<p>Once it was established connection, its SSID and Password will be stored to the EEPROM of ESP8266 automatically. The <strong>Open SSIDs</strong> 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. Tap the SSID button, starts connection it.</p>
<p><img src="../images/open.png" style="border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-color:lightgrey;width:280px;" /></p>
<h2 id="disconnect"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i> Disconnect<a class="headerlink" href="#disconnect" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
<p>Disconnect ESP8266 from the current connection. It can also reset the ESP8266 automatically after disconnection by instructing with using <a href="../api/index.html#autoreset">API</a> in the sketch.</p>
<p>After tapping "Disconnect", you will not be able to reach the AutoConnect menu. Once disconnected, you will need to set the SSID again for connecting the WLAN. </p>
<h2 id="reset"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i> Reset...<a class="headerlink" href="#reset" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
<p>Reset the ESP8266, it will start rebooting. After rebooting complete, the ESP8266 begins establishing the previous connection with WIFI_STA mode, and <em>esp8266ap</em> of an access point will disappear from WLAN.</p>
<p><img src="../images/resetting.png" style="width:280px;" /></p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Not every module will be rebooted normally</p>
<p>The Reset menu is using the <strong>ESP.reset()</strong> function. This is an almost hardware reset. In order to resume the sketch normally, the <a href="https://github.com/esp8266/esp8266-wiki/wiki/Boot-Process#esp-boot-modes">state of GPIO0</a> is important. Since this depends on the circuit implementation for each module, not every module will be rebooted normally. See also <a href="../faq/index.html#hang-up-after-reset">FAQ</a>.</p>
