ESP8266 Community Forum

Hello everyone, I’m Ghanashyam and a newbie to ESP8266. I want to read and understand about smartconfig, what it is , how it works and so on. Can anyone tell me where i can find material for the same. Thanks in Advance.

It seems to be a method to configure your esp8266 without actually defining your credentials (ssid, pass, etc) as literals within the arduino sketch.

Recently I have been working on something similar but with more features that allow users to entirely define how the esp8266 works (as a node within a smart home network) from a mobile application.

I feel that it might be useful for newbies who are learning and want to get started a bit quicker. Please let me know if you would be interested in something like that.

WiFiManager by tzapu is worth a look.
