# WiFi Manager
WiFi Manager for ESP8266 and ESP32 using MicroPython. It might work in any other board since it only uses standard MicroPython libraries, but that's not tested.
## What's new?
Version 2.0 comes with some improvements:
- Better documentation (I hope);
- Some aesthetical changes in the code;
- Removal of unnecessary messages;
- Removal of the ability to set the ip address (to avoid unexpected problems);
- Option to reboot after network configuration (needs improvement);
## Wishlist
- [ ] Allow user to customize CSS;
- [ ] Custom fields for extra configuration (like mqtt server, etc)
- [ ] Turn this into a real python library with the option to be installed using pip;
## How It Works
- When your device starts up, it will try to connect to a previously saved wifi.
- If there is no saved network or if it fails to connect, it will start an access point;
- By connecting to the access point and going to the address 192.168.4.1 you be able to find your network and input the credentials;
- It will try to connect to the desired network, and if it's successful, it will save the credentials for future usage;
- Be aware that the wifi credentials will be saved in a plain text file, and this can be a security fault depending on your application;
## Installation and Usage
```python
# Download the "wifi_manager.py" file to your device;
# Import the library:
from wifi_manager import WifiManager
# Initialize it
wm = WifiManager()
# By default the SSID is WiFiManager and the password is wifimanager.
# You can customize the SSID and password of the AP for your needs:
wm = WifiManager(ssid="my ssid",password="my password")
# Start the connection:
wm.connect()
```
## Methods
### .connect()
Tries to connect to a network and if it doesn't work start the configuration portal.
### .disconnect()
Disconnect from network.
### .is_connected()
Returns True if it's connected and False if it's not. It's the simpler way to test the connection inside your code.
### .get_address()
Returns a tuple with the network interface parameters: IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS server.
## Notes
- Do not use this library with other ones that works directly with the network interface, since it might have conflicts;
