Description

Problem description

I need to pass an UUID as parameter of the portal URL, and the only way i found is to use two QR code:
• the first QR code sets the mobile to the correct AP
• the second QR code loads the portal with the UUID as URL parameter.
For this to work i need to prevent the mobile from loading automatically the portal after AP conncetion (192.168.4.1 in this case), is there a way to do this in wifimanager?

ok nice, i will give a try. Just to clarify : i dont want to totally disable the captive portal, i want to disable the fact that it is called automatically after the AP is connected, so i can call it manually in a second time (via QR code)

ConfigPortal is what runs.

CaptivePortal is what auto redirects on wifi connection
