I would like to be able to equip a preconfigured Photon with the access data of my friends WLAN. For this I have created with set.credentials in total 3 accounts. If I visit my friend, the photon flashes quickly green, but does not go online. An output at the serial interfaces for control require…

Solved my needs with softAP . No more action necessary. Thx all!

To store non-present network credentials you also needto provide the WLAN_CIPHER parameter (4-parameter overload of WiFi.setCredentials()) You also need to have the WiFi module on before you can store credentials. And always storing the creds on each startup anew isn’t too good practice either. A…

@Postler , you may want to use waitFor(WiFi.connected, 30000); after the WiFi.connect() to give the Photon up to 30secs to connect, which is a typical time to wait.

a.) no success with WiFi.connect(); waitFor(WiFi.connecting, 30000); b.) With SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED) on top the temp-measurement begins and my Display works, but the WIFI-Connection is not stable - further breathing fast green. c.) IMO WiFi is always on as Photon standard. d.) Cipher params ar…

Have you considered using SoftAP to set WiFi creds on demand? [image] Postler: c.) IMO WiFi is always on as Photon standard. No, not in non-AUTOMATIC system modes and in AUTOMATIC your code won't run before the device has successfully connected to the cloud (unless you use threading). [i…

Thx for clarification. Have no experience with softAP: against a hard coded deposit of the access data speaks nothing: these lie to me. this tested at the moment: SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED) void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); WiFi.setCredentials("FRITZ!Box 7362 SL", "123", WPA2, WLAN_CIPHER_AES_TKI…

Why not have him setup the device using the app, or setup.particle.io ?

This is not very comfortable but corresponds to my backup strategy, Moors7. If I leave the setting-up process to an unfettered third party, a lot can go wrong. My friends would benefit from it when I prepare it with theres credentials, turn on and go. In fact, I do not understand why it does not …

I wonder if the spaces in the SSID names cause problems. I would put underscores instead of spaces. Also, you are looking for the wrong status in the waitFor(). What you have will almost immediately pass the waitFor since it is “connecting”. You want to wait for an actual connection with WiFi.co…

SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED) void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); WiFi.setCredentials("Dagobert", "345", WPA2, WLAN_CIPHER_AES_TKIP); WiFi.setCredentials("Ingo Heim", "678", WPA2, WLAN_CIPHER_AES_TKIP); WiFi.connect(); if (!waitFor(WiFi.connecting, 30000)) { Ser…

@Postler , I referred to Particle.connected() which is show as WiFi.connected()! My bad. I would use WiFi.ready() only with waitFor() since when true, the WiFi is connected AND the Photon has an IP. Set the waifFor() time for 30 seconds and that should do it. Setting the credentials each time is …
