Automatically run a program on connection

First can I congratulate you on the development. It is a fantastic step for a much more accessible IOT world.

I note you are doing the development using the Arduino IDE rather than Eclipse. I think this is a great decision as there is so much of the huge Arduino catalogue which can port immediately to allow support of all sorts of peripherals.

One immediate request - please can you change the software to enable running a specific program immediately once connection is established? It could be "default" or another name such as "autorun". This way the user web site would be immediately available. All other functions would be available using /edit etc. which with the password protection would give a modicum of security.

Thanks again for your work.

Peter

P.S. I not in the latest release you have included the ".ino" file. Is it possible to also include the various include files?

IF you goto http://ESPIPADDRESS/run the program will be started from the top.


I could add some thing on the settings page that makes it so that the main page http://ESPIPADDRESS/ will no longer show the menu at the top.

That would be good.
It makes the interface to the end-users more professional and helps hide the inner-workings from prying eyes.

Added check box to settings page to disable menu bar on home index page.

If you check this box it will remove the bar from the "http://your device/" page.

You can still access the other pages by going to there direct url like
"http://your device/edit"
"http://your device/settings"

Hope fully this makes hings a bit more secure and polished looking.
