Introducing Web Configurator

Alongside other features and improvements, we are introducing IoTaaP OS – Web Configurator. Simple web interface hosted on your device that gives you the possibility to configure all device parameters using your browser, without even using serial connection and cables. IoTaaP OS – Web configurator is available in the IoTaaP OS – V3.1.0 release and you can also get it through PlatformIO.

How does it work?

During operation or boot, you have to press the predefined “Config button” on the board (routed to GPIO 25), the device will enter into Access Point (AP) mode and start the configurator. In the future, every device will come with a printed SSID and Password, but in order to find your device access data, you can get the SSID and Password of your device during boot through the serial port. During Web configurator operation, onboard led will blink in a predefined pattern.

Connect to your IoTaaP SSID and head to http://192.168.1.8, this will open the IoTaaP Web configurator:

Enter your parameters from the IoTaaP Console, click Confirm, and your device will automatically restart and start operating with the new configuration.

You can get the certificate here.
