Is it possible to change the "ESP" text in the autoConnect AP to a custom value?

See the README file.

If you call the code like so, then it will use the name you've supplied:

    WiFiManager wifiManager;
    wifiManager.autoConnect("TRAM-TIMES" );

In my case that creates a WiFi network called TRAM-TIMES.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my post. I would like to have my custom name + chipID.

Something like "MySSID-120548".

Is that possible?

Yes.

The default value comes from this code. You could use something similar like so:

  // Create a custom SSID, with chip ID appended
  String ssid = "MySSID-" + String(ESP.getChipId());

  // Start up the manager, using that string.
  WiFiManager wifiManager;
  wifiManager.autoConnect(ssid.c_str());

If this helps please do close the issue :)
