@wizard Noticed that the v3 requires a password for WiFi (and thinks a password is required, showing a lock) even if the access point itself is open and password free. That’s a bug, as v2 didn’t have that issue. I run an open access point (especially for guest access) but there is no way to connect to it with v3. This was true on v3.11 and still true on v3.16. ---

Hi @Scruffynerf , Thanks, thats been on the list, will be in 3.17. You’ll be able to create a passwordless AP as well if you like. Also allowing /update when in wifi setup mode should there be some need to do that e.g. if the web page gets corrupted somehow and you can’t finish wifi setup. ---

Thanks! I had a lot of fun this Christmas with a feature that was providing an open / insecure AP for friends who visited. When they selected a pattern, it would drive a pin high that inflated a lawn inflatable and played a pattern inside it for a few seconds before deflating again. Open APs are fun.
