Changelog - Version 1.14.0 - November 1¶

So… it’s been a while since the last release…

But today - november 1 - the wait has finally ended! We’re proud to announce ESPHome 1.14, a release with the most features additions to date thanks to a ton of contributors!

Captive Portal¶ First, we’ve heard your feedback in the feature request tracker. One of the highest requested features has been to add a WiFi captive portal (also called “WiFiManager”) capability to ESPHome. With the new captive portal component you can set up a fallback WiFi hotspot that gets created if the ESP fails to connect to the WiFi network. If you’re creating a new device this is automatically enabled. To add this feature existing devices check out the captive portal example.
