Arduino-esp32: WiFiSmartConfig save settings (AP, PASS)

[yankobogdan]

WiFiSmartConfig connection working good. But after reboot changes unsaved. I try to get AP name and PASS to write to EEPROM but both unsuccessful. Any advise?

can you please post minimal sketch that shows the issue?

[bill-orange]

I have the same issue. Please see #810.

Has there been any progress in fixing this? I have a couple of application that just won't work if the settings obtained with smart config are lost. I can add a work-around like this:

int count = 0;
Serial.print("Attempting WiFi connection");
status = WiFi.reconnect(); //or reconnect they work about the same
while (status != WL_CONNECTED) {
if (count > 9) break;
Serial.print(".");
Show ("Connecting....");
//status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
status = WiFi.begin();
delay (2000);
count++;
}
if (status != WL_CONNECTED) setupWiFi ();

but shouldn't this be built in to the library?

Agree with @bill-orange, can this be standard functionality? I think most users would assume the smart config settings are preserved between reboots, regardless of past experience with the esp8266.

Any updates? Does anyone solved the problem?

[bill-orange]

Beyond the work-around I posted 9 months ago, I don’t think so.

There is a solution here: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/1100#issuecomment-392397250

that saves the SmartConfig credentials to NVS, then load it on boot
