I'm looking for best practices for end users to configure an IOT ESP8266 to thier WiFi network. I assume I could put a server on the device, have the user switch to that network, browse to the server, and enter thier network access info. Clunky, but maybe as good as it gets.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Russ
