esp32 web server

i wrote this because standing up to flick a light switch is too much physical activity for a software engineer

you run this on an esp32 with micropython and it hosts a web page with basic auth so random people on your wifi cannot flicker your lights while you sleep

what you need

an esp32 board micropython flashed on it ampy or whatever tool you use to push files wifi credentials

how to run

1 clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/igotlinux/esp32-auth-webserver.git
cd esp32-auth-webserver

2 set your wifi details in networkcredentials py

ssid = "your wifi name"
password = "your wifi password"

3 push files to the board

ampy --port /dev/ttyUSB0 put networkcredentials.py
ampy --port /dev/ttyUSB0 put main.py

4 reboot the board check the serial console for the ip address open that ip in any browser and toggle the pin

why this exists

practical demo of microdot socket handling and minimal memory footprint on embedded chips without running heavy frameworks
