Once you enter, it saves and connects – all without touching a line of hardcoded credentials. This kit turns that concept into a real, working device with visual feedback on an OLED screen and LEDs. It’s the exact provisioning technique used in commercial smart plugs and IoT gadgets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA self-contained ESP32 device that boots as an access point, serves a captive portal web page over its own WiFi, captures the WiFi SSID and password entered via a phone or laptop browser, stores them in non-volatile EEPROM, then reboots into station mode and connects to your network. An OLED displays the connection status, while LEDs indicate portal activity and successful connection.
