For ESP-IDF 4.4 with Arduino ESP32 Core

AutoConnect 1.3.5 is the version compatible with both ESP-IDF 4.4 and ESP-IDF 3.3. It is recommended to use Arduino esp32 core 1.0.6 for ESP-IDF 3.3 based and Arduino esp32 core 2.0.3 or later for ESP-IDF 4.4 based.
If you are using PlatformIO as your development platform, you can select any of these two versions by specifying them in platformio.ini file.

  • For ESP-IDF 4.4 with Arduino ESP32 Core 2.0.3
framework = arduino
platform = espressif32@4.4.0
  • For ESO-IDF 3.3 with Arduino ESP32 Core 1.0.6
framework = arduino
platform = espressif32@3.5.0
