Feature Request - add second WiFi configuration #66

Open wib100 opened 2 years ago

wib100 commented 2 years ago

Hi, would be great if there would be an option to add a second WiFi/Hotspot to the network configuration. This would be very helpful to pre-configure an Arduino.

Thanks, Willi

I support this one! Here are the reasons.

I configure the OpenDTU in my living room. When I'm done I carry it outside into the garage (where it's cold), where it is supposed to be running the next years. In the garage the inside WLAN is unreachable. Instead there's an AP just for the outside area.

And additionally in the first time when I set up the DTU I had to reset and carry it around multiple times.

And I have to switch off Mobile Data every time I connect with the startup AP.

Yes, it works without the backup WLAN. But also there's a reason for the Shellys to have one, isn't there?

I would appreciate it. Some more or less known projects and ESP based devices such as: ESPeasy, Tasmota (depending on the release), Shelly also have the possibility of adding a secondary or backup WiFi.
