For me it would be handy if the commands were also available via the serial port so my "smart client" could use the serial port to establish a connection to the AP and open a socket for listening. This would allow me to display the allocated IP address via a LCD - making the remote connection easier.
It is presently configured only to respond to the +++AT (Hayes like) commands via the network. I see what you want to do. Is there an issue already on the github that aligns with your needs?

Yes, you are absolutely correct. In dynamic configuration mode it is possible for the network side to trip the +++AT commands if you are really unlucky. If that is a concern, you can disable the +++AT commands by doing a static configuration as described in the README.md.
