Hello,

Is there a way to keep the ControlManager accessible instead of wiping the settings and start over again so you can change the WiFi or reset the info via de captive portal?

Please let me know.

Hi I think that's not possible with the current version. The problem is that the controller must change from ap mode to sta mode to check your inserted WiFi credentials. During the start of the sta mode the ap mode will be disabled which will close the config portal...

Maybe you can increase the speed of changing back to ap mode if you don't restart the esp completely.
