ESP8266 Community Forum

- Sat Apr 04, 2015 12:44 am #13423 I was thinking about how to connect an ESP to a 'foreign' SSID.

I have an Electric Imp and love the way I can move it to a new network and connect it, using the iPhone or Android app.

I am not in the position of doing the same with an ESP - I can't program an iOS or Android app, for a start - but I wondered whether using some other sort of interface would work?

A keypad, a touch.screen, a built-in web page with a predefined SSID, so you could connect using a mobile device using the predefined SSID, access the device and add your foreign network details?

What methods have been tried?

I was subject to premature esp8culation... with a little bit of googling, I have found a number of techniques, but that one is ace!

Thanks a bunch!

Hey LEDAero. I'm not sure if you're still around this web forum but if you are i'd really like to hear about the solution you decided to go with and the solutions you explored for this.

Thanks friend.
