ESP8266 Community Forum

Hello,

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

Looks like this is a solution to the issue

I like WPS.

The WifiManager library provides support for this as well, creating the AP point for configuration by end user on first use. Similar to Lassen method but without the other bells and whistles.
