Re: can we make an option to disable AP mode
I don't mind the complexity, as they have better support for tweaking things, but of course there's also a steeper learning curve

Re: can we make an option to disable AP mode
I would still second the option to disable AP mode. When reconfiguring eg. UniFi AP’s, there is a short stop in Wi-Fi communications, causing all ESPEasy modules to go into AP mode. Would be much better to retry association every <x> second.

Hi,
You could consider Thingspeak. It's free for few sensors, and you do not have to expose anything to the internet. You just upload the data, and view it on their platform. You can even set alarms for missing data / thresholds.

Seems like the problem could have several root causes. I know for a fact that when I, years ago, swapped DS18S20 clones for geninue sensors, many of my sensor reading problem vanished. But if there's issues in the plugin, that's perhaps easier to fix, if someone knows how.

By far the most secure way, is to use the "Level Control" device. It will handle all the control for you. Then you can use MQTT to monitor the temperature & that the sensor / Espeasy is actually alive.
