esp8266 wifimanager: only autoconfig if no ssid/password saved or hardware button pushed

Q&A Forum › esp8266 wifimanager: only autoconfig if no ssid/password saved or hardware button pushed

Raymond Newman asked 3 years ago

I like the wifimanager but can’t figure out what to do after a power loss and esp8266 boots up log before wifi router does. Sometimes even my router hangs up.

I figured how to use a button pressed for 10 seconds then wifiManager.startConfigPortal(“HACS2”);

will force re-config. BUT WiFiManager wifiManager;
wifiManager.autoConnect(“HACS”);

will try to reconfig and if i put // on 2d line i cannot recofig even with button

You will probably have to use interrupts. Check out the Multi-tasking the Arduino series of articles.
