HomeSpanUI needs to connect to your WiFi-Network. The WLAN access data is required for this.
There are two ways to publish the credentials to HomeSpanUI.
Befor uploading the Adruino-sketch you can enter the WiFi-Credentials into the sketch itself.
Setup WiFi-Connection in "setup.h":
const char* wlan_ssid = ""; // Wifi SSID, the device will try to connect
const char* wlan_pwd = ""; // Wifi PASSWORD, the device will try to connect
HomeSpan can publish an access point including a configuration webpage. You can upload the Arduino-sketch without changes. After startup of the ESP32 you can use the "board_pin_ap" (default: GPIO 15) to force HomeSpan to launch the access point mode.
