WebServer: Only own custom routes after setup

[SkHCrusher]

Basic Infos

Challenge: After the Wifi setup, make only two own routes available without the config portal via web server

Hardware

WiFimanager 2.0.15

Esp8266/Esp32:

Hardware: ESP-32 (Wemos Lolin32 lite)

Description

I would like to use the WifiManager to configure the wifi for my alarm device via interface. After that I want to make only two routes available:

• alarm-start
• alarm-stop

But I can't get my own web server to run, because the manager already uses it. I can start the webserver of the Wifi-Manager with startWebPortal(), but then the configuration menu is accessible again.

So how do I get only my two routes accessible after the successful Wifi setup.

Thanks for your help

#include <WiFiManager.h>

// Generell
bool alarmActive = false;
unsigned long currentTime = 0; 

// LED
const int ledPin = 5;
const int ledSwitchTime = 200;
bool currentLedState = false; 
unsigned long lastLedTime = 0;

// Wifi
WiFiManager wm;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  // LED
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);

  // Custom Routes
  wm.setWebServerCallback(bindServerCallback);

  // Init Wifi
  bool res;
  res = wm.autoConnect("TestAP", "password");
  if(!res) {
    ESP.restart();
  }

  // Start new Webserver
  Serial.println("Custom Webserver");
  wm.startWebPortal();
}

void loop() {
  currentTime = millis();
  wm.process();

  if (alarmActive) {
    // LED
    if ((lastLedTime + ledSwitchTime) < currentTime) {
      currentLedState = !currentLedState;
      lastLedTime = currentTime;
    }

    if (currentLedState) {
      digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
    } else {
      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
    }
  } else {
    // LED Off
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  }
}

void bindServerCallback(){
  // Custom Routes
  wm.server->on("/alarm-start", activateAlarm);
  wm.server->on("/alarm-stop", deactivateAlarm);
}

void activateAlarm() {
  alarmActive = true;
  currentLedState = true;
  lastLedTime = currentTime;

  wm.server->send(200, "text/plain", "Alarm accepted");
}

void deactivateAlarm() {
  alarmActive = false;

  wm.server->send(200, "text/plain", "Alarm deactivated");
}

you can use the WM server its shared, for some reason you cannot stop and reopen a port in esp, some unknown bug.

You could override all other routes if you want them to not be available.. you can also probably remove everything form the menu, and leave the routes.

but you should be able to bind to the existing ones and override them, I think i tested this in the SUPER example

I don't find this in your example. But found another solution:

WebServer server(8080);
....
server.on("/alarm-start", activateAlarm);
server.on("/alarm-stop", deactivateAlarm);
server.begin();

I open the webserver on another port and this works for me :-) Thank you.
