Hi guys, pls i need help with updating my ssid/password settings in espeasy. I was able to change it manually through <espeasyip>/config, but i am wondering if it is possible to specify the values of my my ssid/password directly and dynamically through URL in a way similar to "
http://192.168.50.111/control?cmd=GPIO,12,1" so that i can encode it programatically into my application, without my users having to start learning the details of configuring the esp8622 by themselves. Pls i appreciate your advice and help. thanks

You need to do that over serial. BUT you might be able to do it with an event call together with %eventvalue%.... haven't tested it myself but I figured I give you a pointer on what to test.

It is a bit tricky to update those settings via http.
Rules could work. like Grovkillen suggested, but I don't see yet how, so I am also curious to how he thinks to do that

Given a integer password and integer ssid name it would work using %eventvalue%

As the current code base. No only integer/float values are possible to use "all over the place". We hope to be able to bring string values into this later down the line but that's something for 2019

Hi, I was finally able to figure it out and got it working! so here is how i achieved it (this is just for future easpeasy users who wishes to be able to change their wifi ssid and wifi key through a http command)
First create rules (from the espeasy interface go to Tools/advanced, then enable rules. A new tab called rule appears, open and type the following inside it , then click on SUBMIT
Code: Select all
on wifissid do
WifiSSID %eventvalue%
endon
on wifikey do
WifiKey %eventvalue%
endon
on saveit do
save
endon
on RebootS do
Reboot
endon
access the following url in this succession
Code: Select all
http://192.168.50.184/control?cmd=event,wifissid=mywifiName
http://192.168.50.184/control?cmd=event,wifikey=mywifiKey
http://192.168.50.184/control?cmd=event,saveit
http://192.168.50.184/control?cmd=event,RebootS
NB: Replace the IP address to your IP address.
thats it. Note that the wifi name and password can contain only alphabet and numbers.

Ah great, I didn't know that event value accepted alphanumerical (not only numerical). Thanks for that heads up!

You could simplify this by:
Code: Select all
on wifissid do
WifiSSID %eventvalue%
endon
on wifikey do
WifiKey %eventvalue%
endon
on saveit do
Save
Reboot
endon
