ESP32 Forum

Hello everyone! I'm just starting out in the IoT world and I'm initially using the ESP32-C6, ESP32-H2 devices and the Router Board to develop a Thread network project. I've already managed to run some tests and create a Thread network using the ESP-IDF library, which, by the way, is working very well. Of course, I'm still in the learning phase, configuring the leaders, routers, children, commissioning additional devices and adjusting other settings.

I configured a Border Router with the ESP32-S3 chip, but the Wi-Fi network configuration was done entirely via the terminal. It's working perfectly, routing data from the Thread network to the internet's Wi-Fi network. However, whenever I move the development environment from work to home, I need to connect the Router Board to the computer's serial port and, via the CLI monitor, reconfigure the Wi-Fi network for the routing to work.

I did some research and found a solution with Wi-Fi Manager, applied to ESP32 and ESP8266, which makes it easier to configure the device, allowing you to use the internet browser to configure the Router Board's access to the Wi-Fi network. Would it be possible to implement this Wi-Fi Manager on the Router Board with ESP32-S3 chip? Has anyone implemented something similar to solve this problem or can give some direction on how to proceed to develop a useful solution?

Here is the image of WIFI-MANAGER:

The API for networking and WiFi is (with the exception of some uncommon use cases, like CSI) the same between all ESP32 series chips, so it should Just Work.

Hello, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I'm continuing my Thread network project. Anyway, thanks for your reply. I'll try to implement something in the future regarding webAdmin. If anyone else has any ideas, I'm open to suggestions. If I manage to implement something, I'll leave the solution here for everyone. Thanks.
