Description

This library is a Credentials / WiFi Connection Manager that was ported by a community member "khoih-prog", it permits the addition of custom parameters to be configured in Config Portal. The parameters 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-fledged WiFiManager. Config Portal will be auto-adjusted to match the number of dynamic custom parameters. Credentials are saved in FlashStorage_RTL8720.

Details

New recent features:

MultiWiFi feature for configuring/auto(re)connecting shields to the available MultiWiFi APs at runtime.
DoubleDetectDetector feature to force Config Portal when 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 are to be saved automatically in non-volatile memory, such as FlashStorage_RTL8720.
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 auto reset after configurable timeout if DRD/MRD or non-persistent forced-CP
Use new FlashStorage_RTL8720 features
Scan WiFi networks for selection in the Configuration Portal
