EspTouch is an Android library and app by Espressif that provisions ESP8266/ESP32 IoT devices by broadcasting the router's SSID and password via smart config packets. It is distributed through JitPack and includes both the original EspTouch and the newer EspTouchV2 protocols.

Use cases

  • provision ESP32 devices onto a wifi network from an Android app
  • send router ssid and password to IoT devices during setup
  • embed smart config wifi provisioning in an Android companion app
  • configure ESP8266 smart config devices without typing credentials on the device
  • onboard ESP devices to the same router as the phone

When to choose

  • you are building an Android app that pairs phones with Espressif ESP32/ESP8266 devices
  • your devices run the smart config example from esp-idf or ESP8266_RTOS_SDK
  • you want a maintained, vendor-supported provisioning library

When to avoid

  • your devices do not run Espressif smart config firmware
  • you need provisioning on iOS or other platforms
  • you need EspTouchV2 and EspTouch interoperability - they are not compatible
