This is a great project. But i want to use it for some people who do not have the same network as me. So implementation of a wifimanager would be necessary.

Can we expect this update anytime soon?

Can you elaborate on what you're looking for?

Nothing stops you using this library with a wifi manager implementation. The two libraries solve very different problems and so should exist separately.

I am looking for a way to easily setup wifi for a user that does not use the arduino IDE.
Basically exactly what wifimanager does.
However i trued to use many wifimanagers but non of them seem to compile. I get all sorts of errors.

So i figurrd it must be something i am doing wrong.
But best would be if you would implement it into your code. Seems like a much easier way to setup that through adjusting the code and reupload the whole thing.

Easiest for you because it would solve your specific needs, but it makes no sense otherwise. Libraries are intended to serve a purpose not many unrelated purposes.

WiFiManager aims to use the device as a WiFi access point so that WiFi SSID and Password can be entered via a hosted web-page, before rebooting and joining the saved WiFi network in station mode.

ESP32OTAPull aims to allow you to update the device firmware once connected to WiFi using HTTP requests (and the OTA library).

These are two solutions to completely different problems. If you need solutions to both problems, use two libraries. A WiFi manager to get set-up on an network not known at compile time and ESP32OTAPull to check for firmware updates once connected to WiFi.

If you're stuck getting a WiFi manager to work, I think that https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-wi-fi-manager-asyncwebserver/ is a good tutorial. Beyond that please use StackOverflow or similar forums to ask for help with specific problems.

Is also an excellent WiFi Manager alternative.
