Similarly to @eyal I’ve been interested in monitoring [environmental conditions] (http://blog.urremote.com/2016/01/how-hot-is-lounge.html) in the home. My first effort requires configuring WiFi credentials in code which seemed a bit primitive. I thought it would be easy to acquire WiFi network settings through a web interface but found it wasn’t.
I’ve finally got a [solution] (https://github.com/kentaylor/WiFiManager#connect-to-wifi) or at least I’ve modified an existing solution which was flaky when I tried it and [this] (https://github.com/kentaylor/WiFiManager#connect-to-wifi) needs more testing by others. Hopefully it will make connecting the ESP8266 to WiFi networks easier for other projects. There has been one tester, Battika, since yesterday when I linked to it. He liked it but more testing would be nice.
