Hi @lucifer2615. following are some inputs
- I suggest considering the ESP WiFi Manager library which gives access to the web interface from the browser to set the wifi name and password. Apart from this, there are other Apps like ESP SoftAP Provisioning, etc.
- Controlling AC to turn ON/OFF can be done with a relay but to control core functionalities you can use IR transmitter connected to ESP32. So, your ESP can send control commands just like the ac remote instead of an actual physical remote.
- reconnect mechanisms for WiFi and Bluetooth have to be implemented in code whenever your device comes back in range.
I hope you will find this input useful. Best wishes!
thank you so much buddy just going to try your wifi manager library suggestion

@techielew yes buddy, but now i am figuring out that how can i create my own page like wifi manager library gives us bcz i wanted customized webpage for my company product if you have any idea or video/article reference please share with me
Hey @lucifer2615. You can build webserver to host the html pages on ESP32 and it will do the job. There are plenty of videos on YT for the webserver with esp32.
