Support PlatformIO

[quixony]

I would strongly prefer being able to compile this awsome project within PlatformIO.
This also would have the benefit that libraries are handled automatically (per define)

I am working on a addition of MQTT service in the current project and would have been glad to use VSCode (jumping between funktions and files). Hopefully I will be able to pull the changes soon.

The changes needed to also support PlatformIO should not be immense.

I second that, platformio has matured and its integration with VSCode makes large projects easy to maintain.
But I do appreciate your work.

I tried to compile the current one in Arduio and I am getting the following error not sure why.

ESP_WiFiManager.h: No such file or directory

How far are you with MQTT. I want to explore automatic configuration with Homeassistant

1. You seem to not have all dependencies installed correctly. ArduinoIDE claims the WifiManger is not found. Either install it via the package manager or extract the zip-file from the repo to the modules folder in ArduinoIDE.

2. PlatformIO is working for me now after some changes to existing code. I planned to commit all together (PlatformIO and MQTT Support) as they both need changes in more than one file.
   MQTT is working for me but I am struggeling with the HA-Discovery. I do not know why but some channels are not correctly recognized. This is my current state of work: https://github.com/quixony/CameraWifiMotion

My main problem is having time to finish that work, comment everything nicely and improve some functions. I am sorry but it will still take a while until I am done :( But if so, I will give you an update.

Thanks l will pull and checkout your work!

After seeing this thread it prompted me to have a try of PlatformIO and I have now modified my sketch so it works with both Arduino IDE and PlatformIO.
