The AutoConnect menu is developed using the [LuxBar](https://github.com/balzss/luxbar) which is licensed under the MIT License. See the [License](license.md).

|

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 <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> at right on top.

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

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.

## <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> Configure new AP
|
|
|
|
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. "**Hidden:**" means the number of hidden SSIDs discovered.
|
|
Enter SSID and Passphrase and tap "**apply**" to try connection.

|
|
|
## <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> 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.

|
|
|
|
## <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> 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](api.md#autoreset) used in the sketch.
|
|
|
|
## <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> 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](https://github.com/esp8266/esp8266-wiki/wiki/Boot-Process#esp-boot-modes) is important. Since this depends on the circuit implementation for each module, not every module will be rebooted normally. See also [FAQ](faq.md#hang-up-after-reset). |
