Connecting the Espruino-powered NodeMCU to WiFi

Connect to the WiFi network

Ensure that the wifi.save() command is run so that the NodeMCU will reconnect to the WiFi after next startup.

var ssid     = 'xxxxxxxxx';
var password = 'yyyyyyyyy';
 
var wifi = require('Wifi');

wifi.connect(ssid, {password: password}, function() {
  console.log('Connected to Wifi.  IP address is:', wifi.getIP().ip);
  wifi.save(); // Next reboot will auto-connect
});

Get status about the WiFi on the NodeMCU

getIp, getDetails, and getStatus will display all the details about the WiFi network status we need.
The Wireless network password will be displayed in plaintext. From a certain point of view that could be considered a security vulnerability, so be warned.

var wifi = require('Wifi');

console.log(wifi.getIP());
{
  "ip":      "x.x.x.x",
  "netmask": "255.255.255.0",
  "gw":      "x.x.x.1",
  "mac":     "84:f3:eb:81:4e:39"
 }

console.log(wifi.getDetails());
{
  "status":    "connected",
  "ssid":      "xxxxxxxx",
  "password":  "xxxxxxxx",
  "rssi": -55, "savedSsid": null }

console.log(wifi.getStatus());

{
  "mode":      "sta+ap",
  "station":   "connected",
  "ap":        "enabled",
  "phy":       "11n",
  "powersave": "ps-poll",
  "savedMode": "sta+ap"
