It's a bug in 1.6.8 In the nightly builds it is resolved. This seems to be caused by arduino-builder not generating correct forward declarations for functions marked with extern C. I'll see if we can implement a workaround for this, since the just-released arduino 1.6.8 is affected by this issue. ht...

It looks like the ESP8266 antenne is encapsulated between 2 printed circuits with lots of copper.
Will this not limit the send/recieving?

I created only once a Virtual hardware device, it has idx 5, and every time I need to create a virtual sensor I click on the "create virtual sensor" link in the virtual hardware device. So the number of hardware does not change when I add virtual sensor devices. That's also my experience....

Works good with a decent 3.3 volt supply on the pins (not your interface 3.3 volt)

Take care of yourself (and your interface and your computer) and NEVER work on the device with 220 volt.

for some reason my pir sensors give a lot of false positives, can't realy tell whether this is a esp or pir issue though.

Suggestion: 1) After 30 failed connection retries - change to AP mode 2) If in AP mode and if there is no client connected for more than 1 minute, change back to client mode and try to reconnect to the specified WLAN AP 3) goto 1 How long does it take to get 30 connection retries. So I have to wait...

NietGiftig

I think it's by design. But not very convenient, if there is an outage (wifi and/or Domoticz in my case) and the error count goes beyond 30 the ESP turns to Access point if I understand correctly I have to make a tour round the house to switch the esp off and on again to start the normal WiFi connec...

If you do not know what to change in the code then you cannot build your own firmware.
Maybe you can compile other people's code, but then it is not your own firmware I think.

There is no other gpio port exposed, unless you are very good with a soldering iron.
The ESP8266 is already very small, the pins are even smaller.

I think any attempt to do a ESPEasy with WS2812 integration would be a cause for instabilities.

A Pir and batteries are not the best choice.
Unless they are in rooms where there is not much movement.
Otherwise they keep sending and using the WiFi.

Sleep-mode and PIR is not a good idea, unless you make the esp wake up (reset) on movement
