AT Command Set

[中文]

Here is a list of AT commands. Some of them can only work on the ESP32 series, so they are marked as [ESP32 Only] at the beginning; those without any mark can work on all ESP series, including ESP32, ESP8266, ESP32-S2, and ESP32-C3.

It is strongly recommended to read the following sections for some common information on AT commands before you dive into the details of each command.

AT Command Types

Generic AT command has four types:

Type

Command Format

Description

Test Command

AT+<CommamdName>=?

Query the Set Commands’ internal parameters and their range of values.

Query Command

AT+<CommamdName>?

Return the current value of parameters.

Set Command

AT+<CommamdName>=<…>

Set the value of user-defined parameters in commands, and run these commands.

Execute Command

AT+<CommamdName>

Run commands with no user-defined parameters.

  • Not all AT commands support all of the four types mentioned above.

  • Currently, only strings and integer numbers are supported as input parameters in AT commands.

  • Angle brackets < > designate parameters that can not be omitted.

  • Square brackets [ ] designate optional parameters that can be omitted. The default value of the parameter will be used instead when you omit it. Below are examples of entering the command AT+CWJAP with some parameters omitted.

    AT+CWJAP="ssid","password"
    AT+CWJAP="ssid","password","11:22:33:44:55:66"
    
  • If the parameter you want to omit is followed by a parameter(s), you must give a , to indicate it.

    AT+CWJAP="ssid","password",,1
    
  • String values need to be included in double quotation marks.

    AT+CWSAP="ESP756290","21030826",1,4
    
  • Escape character syntax is needed if a string contains special characters, such as ,, ", or \:

    • \\: escape the backslash itself

    • \,: escape comma which is not used to separate each parameter

    • \": escape double quotation mark which is not used to mark string input

    • \<any>: escape <any> character means that drop backslash symbol and only use <any> character

  • Escape is needed in AT commands only, not elsewhere. For example, when AT command port prints > and wait for your input, the input does not need to be escaped.

    AT+CWJAP="comma\,backslash\\ssid","1234567890"
    AT+MQTTPUB=0,"topic","\"{\"sensor\":012}\"",1,0
    
  • The default baud rate of AT command is 115200.

  • The length of each AT command should be no more than 256 bytes.

  • AT commands end with a new-line (CR-LF), so the serial tool should be set to “New Line Mode”.

  • Definitions of AT command error codes are provided in AT API Reference:

AT Commands with Configuration Saved in the Flash

Configuration settings entered by the following AT Commands will always be saved in the flash NVS Area, so they can be automatically restored on reset:

Saving of configuration settings by several other commands can be switched on or off with AT+SYSSTORE command, which is mentioned in the Note section of these commands.

AT Messages

There are two types of ESP-AT messages returned from the ESP-AT command port:

  • ESP-AT Response Messages (passive)

    Each ESP-AT command input returns response messages to tell the sender the result of the ESP-AT command.

    ESP-AT Response Messages

    AT Response Messages

    Description

    OK

    AT command process done and return OK

    ERROR

    AT command error or error occurred during the execution

    SEND OK

    Data has been sent to the protocol stack (specific to AT+CIPSEND and AT+CIPSENDEX command). It doesn’t mean that the data has been sent to the opposite end

    SEND FAIL

    Error occurred during sending the data to the protocol stack (specific to AT+CIPSEND and AT+CIPSENDEX command

    +<Command Name>:...

    Response to the sender that describes AT command process results in details

  • ESP-AT Message Reports (active)

    ESP-AT will report important state changes or messages in the system.
