New page

WiFiManager is a ESP8266 connection manager that connects the ESP to an access point, or if that fails, turns the ESP into an access point with a web configuration portal to allow changes to the WiFi configuration.

== Usage ==
Refer to the example code available at [https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/blob/master/examples/AutoConnectWithFSParameters/AutoConnectWithFSParameters.ino https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/blob/master/examples/]

WiFi Manager is capable of handling custom parameters in addition to the WiFi SSID and password. The example code below includes custom parameters that are handled by WiFi Manager and are saved as a JSON file on SPIFFS.
