SmartConfig

The SmartConfigTM is a provisioning technology developed by TI to connect a new Wi-Fi device to a Wi-Fi network. It uses a mobile app to broadcast the network credentials from a smartphone, or a tablet, to an un-provisioned Wi-Fi device.

The advantage of this technology is that the device does not need to directly know SSID or password of an Access Point (AP). This information is provided using the smartphone. This is particularly important to headless device and systems, due to their lack of a user interface.

If you are looking for other options to provision your ESP32 devices, check 配网 API.

Application Example

Connect ESP32 to target AP using SmartConfig: wifi/smart_config.

API Reference

Header File

Functions

const char *esp_smartconfig_get_version(void)

Get the version of SmartConfig.

返回

  • SmartConfig version const char.

esp_err_t esp_smartconfig_start(const smartconfig_start_config_t *config)

Start SmartConfig, config ESP device to connect AP. You need to broadcast information by phone APP. Device sniffer special packets from the air that containing SSID and password of target AP.

Attention

1. This API can be called in station or softAP-station mode.

Attention

2. Can not call esp_smartconfig_start twice before it finish, please call esp_smartconfig_stop first.

参数

config -- pointer to smartconfig start configure structure

返回

  • ESP_OK: succeed

  • others: fail

esp_err_t esp_smartconfig_stop(void)

Stop SmartConfig, free the buffer taken by esp_smartconfig_start.

Attention

Whether connect to AP succeed or not, this API should be called to free memory taken by smartconfig_start.

返回

  • ESP_OK: succeed

  • others: fail

esp_err_t esp_esptouch_set_timeout(uint8_t time_s)

Set timeout of SmartConfig process.

Attention

Timing starts from SC_STATUS_FIND_CHANNEL status. SmartConfig will restart if timeout.

参数

time_s -- range 15s~255s, offset:45s.

返回

  • ESP_OK: succeed

  • others: fail

esp_err_t esp_smartconfig_set_type(smartconfig_type_t type)

Set protocol type of SmartConfig.

Attention

If users need to set the SmartConfig type, please set it before calling esp_smartconfig_start.

参数

type -- Choose from the smartconfig_type_t.

返回

  • ESP_OK: succeed

  • others: fail

esp_err_t esp_smartconfig_fast_mode(bool enable)

Set mode of SmartConfig. default normal mode.

Attention

1. Please call it before API esp_smartconfig_start.

Attention

2. Fast mode have corresponding APP(phone).

Attention

3. Two mode is compatible.

参数

enable -- false-disable(default); true-enable;

返回

  • ESP_OK: succeed

  • others: fail

esp_err_t esp_smartconfig_get_rvd_data(uint8_t *rvd_data, uint8_t len)

Get reserved data of ESPTouch v2.

参数
  • rvd_data -- reserved data

  • len -- length of reserved data

返回

  • ESP_OK: succeed

  • others: fail
