WIFI NETWORK SETTINGS

Path : src/profiles/WiFiNetworkSettings.h

Structure for managing WiFi network configuration for ESP-32 based industrial applications. Supports both STA (station) and AP (Access Point) modes.

REQUIREMENTS

• ESP-32 platform
• WiFi capability
• ArduinoJson library
• Arduino core libraries
• IPAddress class

FEATURES

• STA (WiFi station) configuration management
• AP (Access Point) configuration management
• Conditional APSTA mode support
• JSON serialization/deserialization
• IP address, gateway, and DNS configuration
• Configuration loading from file/storage
• Debugging and logging support

DEPENDENCIES

• config.h
• enums.h
• Logger.h
• ArduinoJson
• ArduinoLog

TODOS

PERFORMANCE

• Implement memory efficient JSON handling
• Optimize IP address parsing
• Add caching mechanism for settings

SECURITY

• Implement password encryption
• Add input validation for IP addresses
• Implement secure configuration storage
• Add configuration bup and restore functionality

COMPLIANCE

• Verify WiFiAlliance compliance
• Implement industrial WiFi best practices
• Add network security protocol support

EXAMPLE

Here an example how such component is being constructed and mounted:

// Initialize WiFi settings
WiFiNetworkSettings wifiSettings;

// Load settings from JSON configuration
If (LittleFS.exists("/network.json")) {
	File configFile = LittleFS.open("/network.json", "r");
	DynamicJsonDocument doc(1024);
	deserializeJson(doc, configFile);
	configFile.close();
	
	wifiSettings.loadSettings(doc.as<JsonObject>());
}

// Configure WiFi based on settings
WiFi.config(
	wifiSettings.sta_local_IP,
	wifiSettings.sta_gateway,
	wifiSettings.sta_subnet,
	wifiSettings.sta_primary_dns,
	wifiSettings.sta_secondary_dns
);

WiFi.begin(
	wifiSettings.sta_ssid.c_str(),
	wifiSettings.sta_password.c_str()
);

// In AP_STA moftAPAPaT mode, also configure AP
#ifdef ENABLE_AP_STA
WiFi.softAP(
	wifiSettings.ap_ssid.c_str(),
	wifiSettings.ap_password.c_str()
);

WiFi.softAPConfig(
	wifiSettings.ap_config_ip,
	wifiSettings.ap_config_gateway,
	wifiSettings.ap_config_subnet
);
#endif

// Print current configuration
wifiSettings.print();
