## What it is
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
