Hi tzapu,
The on demand portal is working like a charm.
Right now I can only use fixed SSID for the wifiManager.startConfigPortal(), is there any way to add the ChipID to the on demand portal SSID like the wifiManager.autoConnect() does?
I tried the following code but it failed to compile with the "no matching function for call to 'WiFiManager::startConfigPortal(String&)' wifiManager.startConfigPortal(onCmdSSID);" error .
`

         if ( digitalRead(apConfig) == LOW ) {
          
       Serial1.print("Entering config mode on demand...");

          // WiFiManager wifiManager;

          String onCmdSSID = "ESP" + String(ESP.getChipId());

          wifiManager.startConfigPortal(onCmdSSID);

          Serial1.println("connected...yeey :)");
        }

Hi @simonliu009,

I do it this way and it works:

// Define variable
String autoconf_ssid = "SWIFITCH_"+String(ESP.getChipId());
// Later calling autoconnect
wifiManager.autoConnect(autoconf_ssid.c_str());

Hope this helps.
