Hello Everyone, I am using the example given below for my photon in softAP mode using HTTP web page. https://docs.particle.io/reference/firmware/photon/#complete-example Can anyone help me how can I setup SSID and Password for it? Thank You.

I guess this is written in the docs, but connect your device to the Photon SoftAP and then use your browser to navigate to 192.168.0.1, then you should see what to do next.

Hey @ScruffR , Thanks for the help. It’s been connected successfully. But, how can I know on which IP address it’s working? I can’t configure it if I don’t know its IP address!

@ScruffR , I’m really confused!:confused: First I flash the code to my device. Then I HOLD the SETUP butten until it blinks Blue(listening mode). Then I open the web browser and go to 192.168.0.1 and I see the softAP setup page, then I click on Scan! After that, I select my Wireless Network from th…

After you have set the WiFi creds on the Photon the SoftAP feature will be switched off on the Photon and the Photon will itself connect to the WiFi network you just had set it up to use. From then on the device will normally receive a DHCP IP from your WiFi router which can be any IP address relly…

[image] AJ7: how can I see the details of my photon from a webpage Other than running SoftAP for wifi setup (if you included in your application), the Photon has no web page to show details. You can implement a web server in your app to do that if you wish.

@ScruffR , I've got it now! I've used WiFi.localIP() function and printed it on serial monitor! It gave some random IP! But as @peekay123 said: [image] peekay123: the Photon has no web page to show details. You can implement a web server in your app to do that if you wish. So that means I c…

[image] AJ7: So that means I cannot use the Photon's IP address directly to see the details like : Humidity, temperature, etc. that I want to access,right? Nope, this doesn't mean that, hence Paul also said this [image] peekay123: You can implement a web server in your app to do that if …

@ScruffR , [image] ScruffR: There is a library for that already. so I should add this library to my project that's it? No modification? And sorry but I didn't get how to do this: [image] ScruffR: you can implement the HTTP page as a SoftAP page and make sure that your Photon does not dr…

Also, my Particle App is showing this IP address! [image] What it is actually for?

Its not necessarily FOR anything. If you had services (http/tftp etc) running on your Photon that you then wanted to connect to remotely then you could use that address along with a suitable firewall rule to connect to that service. Equally if you had several Particle devices in different locations …

Asking the "same" question twice is not appreciated, even when using two accounts ( @djs07 & @AJ7 )
