Notes

This command requires Station mode to be enabled.
After ESP32-C2 station is connected to an AP, it is recommended to use this command to query Wi-Fi information; when ESP32-C2 station is not connected to an AP, it is recommended to use AT+CWSTATE to query Wi-Fi information.
The parameter <reconn_interval> of this command is the same as <interval_second> of the command AT+CWRECONNCFG. Therefore, if you omit <reconn_interval> when running this command, the interval between Wi-Fi reconnections will use the default value 1.
If the <ssid> and <password> parameter are omitted, AT will use the last configuration.
Execute command has the same maximum timeout to setup command. The default value is 15 seconds, but you can change it by setting the parameter <jap_timeout>.
To get an IPv6 address, you need to set AT+CIPV6=1.
Response OK means that the IPv4 network is ready, but not the IPv6 network. At present, ESP-AT is mainly based on IPv4 network, supplemented by IPv6 network.
WIFI GOT IPv6 LL represents that the linklocal IPv6 address has been obtained. This address is calculated locally through EUI-64 and does not require the participation of the AP. Because of the parallel timing, this print may be before or after OK.
WIFI GOT IPv6 GL represents that the global IPv6 address has been obtained. This address is combined by the prefix issued by AP and the suffix calculated internally, which requires the participation of the AP. Because of the parallel timing, this print may be before or after OK, or it may not be printed because the AP does not support IPv6.

Example

// If the target AP's SSID is "abc" and the password is "0123456789", the command should be:
AT+CWJAP="abc","0123456789"

// If the target AP's SSID is "ab\,c" and the password is "0123456789"\", the command should be:
AT+CWJAP="ab\\\,c","0123456789\"\\"

// If multiple APs all have the SSID of "abc", the target AP can be found by BSSID:
AT+CWJAP="abc","0123456789","ca:d7:19:d8:a6:44"

// If esp-at is required that connect to a AP by protected management frame, the command should be:
AT+CWJAP="abc","0123456789",,,,,,,3

AT+CIPAP=<"ip">[,<"gateway">,<"netmask">]

Response:

OK

Parameters

<”ip”>: string parameter showing the IPv4 address of the ESP32-C2 SoftAP.
<”gateway”>: gateway.
<”netmask”>: netmask.
<”ipv6 addr”>: string parameter showing the IPv6 address of the ESP32-C2 SoftAP.

Notes

The set command is just applied to the IPv4 network, but not the IPv6 network.
The configuration changes will be saved in the NVS area if AT+SYSSTORE=1.
The set command correlates with the commands that set DHCP, such as AT+CWDHCP.
- If static IPv4 address is enabled, DHCP will be disabled;
- If DHCP is enabled, static IPv4 address will be disabled;
- The last configuration overwrites the previous configuration.

Example

AT+CIPAP="192.168.5.1","192.168.5.1","255.255.255.0"

AT+CWSTARTSMART: Start SmartConfig

Execute Command

Function:

Start SmartConfig of the type ESP-TOUCH+AirKiss.

Command:

AT+CWSTARTSMART

Set Command

Function:

Start SmartConfig of a designated type.

Command:

AT+CWSTARTSMART=<type>[,<auth floor>][,<"esptouch v2 key">]

Response:

OK

Parameters

<type>:
- 1: ESP-TOUCH
- 2: AirKiss
- 3: ESP-TOUCH+AirKiss
- 4: ESP-TOUCH v2
<auth floor>: Wi-Fi authentication mode floor. ESP-AT will not connect to the AP whose authmode is lower than this floor.

<”esptouch v2 key”>: ESP-TOUCH v2 decrypt key. It is used to decrypt Wi-Fi password and reserved data. Length: 16 bytes.

Notes

For more details on SmartConfig, please see ESP-TOUCH User Guide.
SmartConfig is only available in the ESP32-C2 station mode.
The message Smart get Wi-Fi info means that SmartConfig has successfully acquired the AP information. ESP32-C2 will try to connect to the target AP.
Message +SCRD:<length>,<rvd data> means that ESP-Touch v2 has successfully acquired the reserved data information.
Message Smartconfig connected Wi-Fi is printed if the connection is successful.
When AT returns Smartconfig connected Wi-Fi, it is recommended to delay more than 6 seconds before executing AT+CWSTOPSMART because the ESP32-C2 needs to synchronize the SmartConfig results to the mobile phone.
Use command AT+CWSTOPSMART to stop SmartConfig before running other commands. Please make sure that you do not execute other commands during SmartConfig.

Example

AT+CWMODE=1
AT+CWSTARTSMART
