Configuration window (from version >= 1.1)

There are 4 minutes to configure the WiFi SSID and password, after 4 minutes the device goes in dead state:

  • AP is no more active.

  • LED is fixed ON.

This is done to avoid leaving unconfigured devices in that state forever. A reboot brings back the device to the configuration state. To reboot a device press the first button for at least 2 seconds or power-off/power-on it.
