WifiManager and mDNS #9

I would like to suggest that you use WifiManager to manage the connection of the ESP8266 to a router - it sets up a captive portal when you select the ESP8266 AP and gathers all the necessary information.

Also, you could use mDNS to define a hostname for the clock, rather than having to use an IP address. I believe that WifiManager allows you to add configuration parameters to its captive portal, so you could allow the user to override a default hostname there.

Hey, nice to hear from you again!

thanks for that, you're totally right and it is on the list, just there are not enough hours in the day. In fact I have a rather large update in mind: The old Bootstrap code is looking really tired.

I'm going to do it... Honest...
