Blynk.run();
}
And with this code seems like I managed to reset those SSID and password.
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
void setup()
{
WiFi.disconnect();
// WiFiManager.resetSettings();
// ESP.eraseConfig();
// ESP.reset();
// ESP.restart();
}
void loop()
{
yield();
}
So do I need to add some button to my Blynk-project like “Reset WiFi-settings”? But this I guess works only when I´m still connected to the old WiFi-network.
What does this : “ESP.reset();” mean in the code? is it basically the same as " WiFi.disconnect();"? So it resets the WiFi-settings, if it can´t find the old WiFi-network automatically anymore? And that way it takes me to config again.
Or what is the best way to do this? Or is this even connected properly now? Its bit weird have to say. How does this device act when i take it to some other place wheres new WiFi-network to connect if I havent reseted it first? Does it reset WiFi-settings automatically then to be able to go to the config again?
