An Arduino library for ESP8266 and ESP32 that manages WiFi connections with a fallback web-based captive configuration portal. When saved credentials fail, the device starts an access point so users can configure WiFi settings through a browser.

Use cases

  • configure wifi credentials on an esp8266 without hardcoding them
  • let users set up wifi on an esp32 device via a captive portal
  • fallback access point when saved wifi network is unavailable
  • add custom parameters to device provisioning portal
  • onboard iot devices to home wifi networks

When to choose

  • building Arduino or PlatformIO firmware for ESP8266/ESP32 that needs user-configurable WiFi
  • you want a captive portal provisioning flow out of the box
  • you need custom config fields alongside WiFi setup

When to avoid

  • targeting non-Espressif microcontrollers
  • you need provisioning over BLE or a cloud service instead of a local portal
  • your project is not using the Arduino framework
