Build an ESP32 WiFi Provisioning System That Works Like Commercial IoT Devices

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Picture a smart bulb that knows your home WiFi without ever asking for a password during setup - that's the magic of WiFi provisioning. This kit turns that concept into a tangible project you build with your own hands. In a single afternoon, you'll create a self-contained ESP32 access point that presents a captive portal on any phone, collects network credentials, and stores them in non-volatile memory - ready to reconnect automatically on every boot.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a compact breadboard device that acts as a WiFi hotspot. When you connect a phone to it, a custom webpage pops up asking for your local WiFi name and password. Once entered, the ESP32 saves them permanently, then reboots to join that network. The OLED display shows status messages throughout the process, and two LEDs indicate success or waiting state - exactly like the provisioning workflows found in smart home gadgets.

What You'll Learn

• Configuring an ESP32 in Access Point (AP) mode with a custom SSID
• Building a captive portal using DNS redirection and an embedded web server
• Handling HTTP POST requests from a browser to capture user input
• Writing and reading data from ESP32's NVS (Non-Volatile Storage) for settings that survive power cycles
