Important Change from v1.9.0

For v1.9.0 and up

ESP32 chipID is now correct and unique. The previous releases' 32-bit wrong chipID is mainly the 24-bit Organizational Unique Identifier (OUI) plus 8 bits from the correct chipID. That's why ESP_getChipId() function can return duplicated values if the boards are from the same batch.

For example

Chip_ID_64 : 0x98F4AB085288
chipOUI    : 0x98F4AB
chipId     : 0x85288
getEfuseMac: 0x885208ABF498


Why do we need this ESP_WiFiManager_Lite library

Features

If you have used one of the full-fledge WiFiManagers such as :

  1. Tzapu WiFiManager
  2. Ken Taylor WiFiManager
  3. Khoi Hoang ESP_WiFiManager

and have to write complicated callback functions to save custom parameters in SPIFFS/LittleFS/EEPROM, you'd appreciate the simplicity of this Light-Weight Credentials / WiFiManager.

This is a Credentials / WiFi Connection Manager for ESP32 and ESP8266 boards, permitting the addition of custom parameters to be configured in Config Portal. The parameters then will be saved automatically, without the complicated callback functions to handle data saving / retrieving.

You can also specify DHCP HostName, static AP and STA IP. Use much less memory compared to full-fledge WiFiManager. Config Portal will be auto-adjusted to match the number of dynamic custom parameters. Credentials are saved in LittleFS, SPIFFS or EEPROM.

The web configuration portal, served from the ESP32/ESP8266 WiFi is operating as an access point (AP) with configurable static IP address or use default IP Address of 192.168.4.1

New recent features:

  • MultiWiFi feature for configuring/auto(re)connecting ESP32/ESP8266 WiFi to the available MultiWiFi APs at runtime.
  • Multi/DoubleDetectDetector feature to force Config Portal when multi/double reset is detected within predetermined time, default 10s.
  • Powerful-yet-simple-to-use feature to enable adding dynamic custom parameters from sketch and input using the same Config Portal. Config Portal will be auto-adjusted to match the number of dynamic parameters.
  • Optional default Credentials as well as Dynamic parameters to be optionally autoloaded into Config Portal to use or change instead of manually input.
  • Dynamic custom parameters to be saved automatically in non-volatile memory, such as LittleFS, SPIFFS or EEPROM..
  • Configurable Config Portal Title to be either BoardName or default undistinguishable names.
  • Examples are designed to separate Credentials / Defines / Dynamic Params / Code so that you can change Credentials / Dynamic Params quickly for each device.
  • Control Config Portal from software or Virtual Switches
  • To permit autoreset after configurable timeout if DRD/MRD or non-persistent forced-CP
  • Use new ESP32 LittleFS features
  • Scan WiFi networks for selection in Configuration Portal

Currently supported Boards

This ESP_WiFiManager_Lite library currently supports these following boards:

  1. ESP8266 and ESP32-based boards using EEPROM, SPIFFS or LittleFS.
  2. ESP32-S2 (ESP32-S2 Saola, AI-Thinker ESP-12K, etc.) using EEPROM, SPIFFS or LittleFS.
  3. ESP32-C3 (ARDUINO_ESP32C3_DEV) using EEPROM, SPIFFS or LittleFS.
  4. ESP32-S3 (ESP32S3_DEV, ESP32_S3_BOX, UM TINYS3, UM PROS3, UM FEATHERS3, etc.) using EEPROM, SPIFFS or LittleFS.

  3. Extract the zip file to ESP_WiFiManager_Lite-main directory
  4. Copy the whole
  • ESP_WiFiManager_Lite-main folder to Arduino libraries' directory such as ~/Arduino/libraries/.

VS Code & PlatformIO:

  1. Install VS Code
  2. Install PlatformIO
  3. Install ESP_WiFiManager_Lite library by using Library Manager. Search for ESP_WiFiManager_Lite in Platform.io Author's Libraries
  4. Use included platformio.ini file from examples to ensure that all dependent libraries will installed automatically. Please visit documentation for the other options and examples at Project Configuration File


Note for Platform IO using ESP32 LittleFS

Necessary only for esp32 core v1.0.6-

From esp32 core v1.0.6+, LittleFS_esp32 v1.0.6 has been included and this step is not necessary anymore.

In Platform IO, to fix the error when using LittleFS_esp32 v1.0 for ESP32-based boards with ESP32 core v1.0.4- (ESP-IDF v3.2-), uncomment the following line

from

//#define CONFIG_LITTLEFS_FOR_IDF_3_2   /* For old IDF - like in release 1.0.4 */

to

#define CONFIG_LITTLEFS_FOR_IDF_3_2   /* For old IDF - like in release 1.0.4 */

It's advisable to use the latest LittleFS_esp32 v1.0.5+ to avoid the issue.

Thanks to Roshan to report the issue in Error esp_littlefs.c 'utime_p'



HOWTO Use analogRead() with ESP32 running WiFi and/or BlueTooth (BT/BLE)

Please have a look at ESP_WiFiManager Issue 39: Not able to read analog port when using the autoconnect example to have more detailed description and solution of the issue.

1. ESP32 has 2 ADCs, named ADC1 and ADC2

2. ESP32 ADCs functions

  • ADC1 controls ADC function for pins GPIO32-GPIO39
  • ADC2 controls ADC function for pins GPIO0, 2, 4, 12-15, 25-27

3.. ESP32 WiFi uses ADC2 for WiFi functions

Look in file adc_common.c

In ADC2, there're two locks used for different cases:

  1. lock shared with app and Wi-Fi: ESP32: When Wi-Fi using the ADC2, we assume it will never stop, so app checks the lock and returns immediately if failed. ESP32S2: The controller's control over the ADC is determined by the arbiter. There is no need to control by lock.

  2. lock shared between tasks: when several tasks sharing the ADC2, we want to guarantee all the requests will be handled. Since conversions are short (about 31us), app returns the lock very soon, we use a spinlock to stand there waiting to do conversions one by one.

adc2_spinlock should be acquired first, then adc2_wifi_lock or rtc_spinlock.

  • In order to use ADC2 for other functions, we have to acquire complicated firmware locks and very difficult to do
  • So, it's not advisable to use ADC2 with WiFi/BlueTooth (BT/BLE).
  • Use ADC1, and pins GPIO32-GPIO39
  • If somehow it's a must to use those pins serviced by ADC2 (GPIO0, 2, 4, 12, 13, 14, 15, 25, 26 and 27), use the fix mentioned at the end of ESP_WiFiManager Issue 39: Not able to read analog port when using the autoconnect example to work with ESP32 WiFi/BlueTooth (BT/BLE).


How It Works

  • The ESP_WiFi example shows how it works and should be used as the basis for a sketch that uses this library.
  • The concept of ESP_WiFi is that a new ESP32/ESP8266 WiFi will start a WiFi configuration portal when powered up, but has no valid stored Credentials or can't connect to WiFi APs after a pre-determined time.
  • There are 6 more custom parameters added in the sketch which you can use in your program later. In the example, they are: 2 sets of Blynk Servers and Tokens, Blynk Port and MQTT Server.
  • Using any WiFi enabled device with a browser (computer, phone, tablet) connect to the newly created AP and type in the configurable AP IP address (default 192.168.4.1). The Config Portal AP channel (default 10) is also configurable to avoid conflict with other APs.
  • The Config Portal is auto-adjusted to fix the 4 static parameters (WiFi SSIDs/PWDs) as well as 6 more dynamic custom parameters.
  • After the custom data entered, and Save button pressed, the configuration data will be saved in host's non-volatile memory, then the board reboots.
  • If there is valid stored Credentials, it'll go directly to connect to one of the MultiWiFi APs without starting / using the Config Portal.
  • ESP32/ESP8266 WiFi will try to connect. If successful, the dynamic DHCP and/or configured static IP address will be displayed in the configuration portal.
  • The ESP32/ESP8266 WiFi Config Portal network and Web Server will shutdown to return control to the sketch code.
  • In the operation, if the current WiFi connection is lost because of any reason, the system will auto(Re)connect to the remaining WiFi AP.
  • If system can't connect to any of the 2 WiFi APs, the Config Portal will start, after some pre-determined time, to permit user to update the Credentials.


How to use

1. Basic usage

  • Include in your sketch
// Must be before #include <ESP_WiFiManager_Lite.h>
#include <ESP_WiFiManager_Lite.h>

ESP_WiFiManager_Lite* ESP_WiFiManager;

2. Add custom parameters

  • To add custom parameters, just add
#include "defines.h"

// USE_DYNAMIC_PARAMETERS defined in defined.h

/////////////// Start dynamic Credentials ///////////////

//Defined in <ESP_WiFiManager_Lite.h>

uint16_t NUM_MENU_ITEMS = sizeof(myMenuItems) / sizeof(MenuItem);  //MenuItemSize;

#else

MenuItem myMenuItems [] = {};

uint16_t NUM_MENU_ITEMS = 0;

#endif    //USE_DYNAMIC_PARAMETERS

3. Not using custom parameters

  • If you don't need to add dynamic parameters, use the following in sketch
#define USE_DYNAMIC_PARAMETERS      false

4. To open Config Portal

  • When you want to open a config portal, just add
ESP_WiFiManager = new ESP_WiFiManager_Lite();
ESP_WiFiManager->begin();

5. To use different AP WiFi Channel

  • To not use default AP WiFi Channel 10 to avoid conflict with other WiFi APs :
ESP_WiFiManager->setConfigPortalChannel(newChannel);
  • To use random AP WiFi Channel to avoid conflict with other WiFi APs :
ESP_WiFiManager->setConfigPortalChannel(0);

6. To use different static AP IP from default

  • To use different static AP IP (not use default 192.168.4.1), call
ESP_WiFiManager->setConfigPortalIP(IPAddress(xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx));

7. To use custom DHCP HostName

  • To set custom DHCP HostName :
// Set customized DHCP HostName
ESP_WiFiManager->begin("ESP32-WIFI_ABCDEF");

or just use the default Hostname, for example "ESP_ABCDEF"

//Or use default Hostname "ESPC_ABCDEF"
ESP_WiFiManager->begin();

8. To use custom HTML Style

const char NewCustomsStyle[] /*PROGMEM*/ = "<style>div,input{padding:5px;font-size:1em;}input{width:95%;}body{text-align: center;}\
button{background-color:blue;color:white;line-height:2.4rem;font-size:1.2rem;width:100%;}fieldset{border-radius:0.3rem;margin:0px;}</style>";

...

ESP_WiFiManager->setCustomsStyle(NewCustomsStyle);

9. To use custom Head Elements

ESP_WiFiManager->setCustomsHeadElement("<style>html{filter: invert(10%);}</style>");

10. To use CORS Header

ESP_WiFiManager->setCORSHeader("Your Access-Control-Allow-Origin");

While in AP mode, connect to it using its SSID (ESP_ABCDEF) / Password ("MyESP_ABCDEF"), then open a browser to the Portal AP IP, default 192.168.4.1, configure wifi then click Save. The Credentials / WiFi connection information will be saved in non-volatile memory. It will then autoconnect.

Once Credentials / WiFi network information is saved in the host non-volatile memory, it will try to autoconnect to WiFi every time it is started, without requiring any function calls in the sketch.

11. To use and input only one set of WiFi SSID and PWD

11.1 If you need to use and input only one set of WiFi SSID/PWD

// Permit input only one set of WiFi SSID/PWD. The other can be "NULL or "blank"
// Default is false (if not defined) => must input 2 sets of SSID/PWD
#define REQUIRE_ONE_SET_SSID_PW       true

But it's always advisable to use and input both sets for reliability.

11.2 If you need to use both sets of WiFi SSID/PWD

// Permit input only one set of WiFi SSID/PWD. The other can be "NULL or "blank"
// Default is false (if not defined) => must input 2 sets of SSID/PWD
#define REQUIRE_ONE_SET_SSID_PW       false

12. To enable auto-scan of WiFi networks for selection in Configuration Portal

12.1 Enable auto-scan of WiFi networks for selection in Configuration Portal

#define SCAN_WIFI_NETWORKS                  true

The manual input of SSIDs is default enabled, so that users can input arbitrary SSID, not only from the scanned list. This is for the sample use-cases in which users can input the known SSIDs of another place, then send the boards to that place. The boards can connect to WiFi without users entering Config Portal to re-configure.

12.2 Disable manually input SSIDs

// To disable manually input SSID, only from a scanned SSID lists
#define MANUAL_SSID_INPUT_ALLOWED           false

This is for normal use-cases in which users can only select an SSID from a scanned list of SSIDs to avoid typo mistakes and/or security.

12.3 Select maximum number of SSIDs in the list

The maximum number of SSIDs in the list is seletable from 2 to 15. If invalid number of SSIDs is selected, the default number of 10 will be used.

// From 2-15
#define MAX_SSID_IN_LIST                    8

13. To avoid blocking in loop when WiFi is lost

13.1 Max times to try WiFi per loop

To define max times to try WiFi per loop() iteration. To avoid blocking issue in loop()

Default is 1 if not defined, and minimum is forced to be 1.

To use, uncomment in defines.h.

Check retries block the main loop #18

#define MAX_NUM_WIFI_RECON_TRIES_PER_LOOP     2

13.2 Interval between reconnection WiFi if lost

Default is no interval between reconnection WiFi times if lost WiFi. Max permitted interval will be 10mins.

Uncomment to use. Be careful, WiFi reconnection will be delayed if using this method.

Only use whenever urgent tasks in loop() can't be delayed. But if so, it's better you have to rewrite your code, e.g. using higher priority tasks.

Check retries block the main loop #18

#define WIFI_RECON_INTERVAL                   30000     // 30s

14. Not using Board_Name on Config_Portal

Default is true. Just change to false to not using Board_Name on Config_Portal

/////////////////////////////////////////////
// Optional, to use Board Name in Menu
#define USING_BOARD_NAME true
/////////////////////////////////////////////



Examples

  1. ESP_WiFi
  2. ESP_WiFi_MQTT


So, how it works?

In Configuration Portal Mode, it starts an AP called ESP_ABCDEF. Connect to it using the configurable password you can define in the code. For example, MyESP_ABCDEF (see examples):

After you connected, please, go to http://192.168.4.1 or newly configured AP IP, you'll see this Main page:

Enter your credentials,

1. Without SCAN_WIFI_NETWORKS

Enter your credentials,

or

2. With SCAN_WIFI_NETWORKS

then click Save.

The WiFi Credentials will be saved and the board connect to the selected WiFi AP.

If you're already connected to a listed WiFi AP and don't want to change anything, just select Exit from the Main page to reboot the board and connect to the previously-stored AP. The WiFi Credentials are still intact.


Important Notes

  1. Now you can use special chars such as ~, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, _, -, space,etc. thanks to brondolin to provide the amazing fix in No save the char # at end of the wifi password to permit input special chars such as % and # into data fields.
  2. The SSIDs, Passwords must be input (or to make them different from blank). Otherwise, the Config Portal will re-open until those fields have been changed. If you don't need any field, just input anything or use duplicated data from similar field.
  3. WiFi password min length now is 8, max length is 63 chars according to WPA2 standard.

How to use default Credentials and have them pre-loaded onto Config Portal

See this example and modify as necessary

1. To always load Default Credentials and override Config Portal data

// Used mostly for development and debugging. FORCES default values to be loaded each run.
// Config Portal data input will be ignored and overridden by DEFAULT_CONFIG_DATA
bool LOAD_DEFAULT_CONFIG_DATA = true;

2. To load Default Credentials when there is no valid Credentials.

Config Portal data input will be override DEFAULT_CONFIG_DATA

// Used mostly once debugged. Assumes good data already saved in device.
// Config Portal data input will be override DEFAULT_CONFIG_DATA
bool LOAD_DEFAULT_CONFIG_DATA = false;

3. Example of Default Credentials

/// Start Default Config Data //////////////////

  1. These ids (such as "mqtt" in example) must be unique.

Please be noted that the following reserved names are already used in library:

"id"    for WiFi SSID
"pw"    for WiFi PW
"id1"   for WiFi1 SSID
"pw1"   for WiFi1 PW
"nm"    for Board Name
