Great

I really don't understand what is happening here.

- It does connect
- It does get an IP
- It can perform DNS lookup
- It does receive NTP answer.

But why doesn't it reply to pings?
Why does it get disconnected after 10 seconds (or less)

I absolutely have no clue.

If you're running a "normal" or "custom" build, you can also see the timing stats. If parts of the code use over 100 msec, they are highlighted. Those can be a cause for jitter in the processing. Publishing may also have another delay, as MQTT messages are being put into a queue....

TD-er

Aonther thing to try (more credible than the really odd suggestion on Reddit of using a complete nonsense subnet) Can you give the command wifidisconnect after it has made a connection? This will retry to connect to the AP, without performing a scan. I got the feeling that maybe things might get mes...

TD-er

Can you try setting the IP to a fixed setting?
And if that doesn't work, can you set the subnetmask (255.255.255.0) to the same value as the gateway?
I know it doesn't make sense to do it like that, but found it as a suggestion on a Reddit thread.

TD-er

You could perform a looptimer_ms which also has a parameter for number of pulses. Just realize the pulses will then be sent from the rules, which may also affect the pulse counters if the pulses received by the pulse counter are too short. One way to overcome the need for real-time behavior of the E...

I did revert the code that was added a few months ago to put the ESP in deep sleep. It is not yet included in a nightly build yet, but I did create a build for another PR yesterday which does have this code present: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c6rdpo58spjna4h/_PR3676_ESP_Easy_mega_20210612_normal_ESP8...

Can you also enable NTP on Tools->Advanced? This does require the ESP to connect to the outside. Also if you set UDP port to 8266 and another ESP (can be an older version) in the same subnet with the UDP port set to the same port nr, both ESPs will try to exchange info between each other. N.B. after...

Just to be sure about the settings. What settings do you use? Suggested settings: - Force WiFi B/G: checked - Force WiFi No Sleep: checked - Periodical send Gratuitous ARP: checked - CPU Eco Mode: unchecked - Send With Max TX Power: checked - Periodical Scan WiFi: unchecked I really have no clue at ...

Still not changed a lot, but I found some strange logic when an event is missed (or thought to be missed).

TD-er

Yep as soon as I have something to test, I will let you know.
It will also be appended to this PR, so if you have a GitHub account, you can subscribe to it.

As we speak I am looking into this issue. I'm only working on WiFi this weekend to get this sorted out once and for all. However I do find it very strange that your setup is apparently not working at all with builds of the past two years while lots and lots of other users have reported success. But ...

TD-er

You can start a timer when you switch on the relay. I assume you followed this description to setup a relay with Domoticz (and MQTT) https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Plugin/P029.html#p029-page If not, you can still 'monitor' the GPIO pin of the relay and act on its changes. But that may lead...

TD-er

If the WiFi reception is worse, please increase TX pwr to 20.5 dBm and check sending with highest TX power.
Setting to B/G mode will allow you to actually send with more TX power compared to "n" network. (20.5 dBm can only be achieved with 'b', which we don't use, so max. is 17 dBm)

Hmm that's a very concrete jump in versions and I just browsed the changes. They are hardly related to WiFi, except for this one. In the code there is a number of checks like this one: if (!WiFiConnected(10)) { The change here in those 2 versions is only to change "100" to "10". ...

TD-er

Right now, there is not yet a check in the rules equivalent to isNan()

Looks stable to me

TD-er

Sadly it is still... Every time I get the feeling "almost stable, still need to tackle this small thing" and then run into lots of new issues... I do have a build running on a Sonoff here built on Oct 21 2020 23:09:36 (not a 'nightly') and that one has now an uptime of 203 days 11 hours 16...

That old version differs in so many ways. For example it is running an older core version and making a WiFi connection was at a much slower pace. This slower pace does put a higher strain on the power supply. So the fact it was working at an older build is not guarantee it isn't a hardware issue. Ho...

TD-er

Hmm how is the Fritzbox configured? Is it a 'repeater' like the 1750? Or is it a router? The simplest way should be to have it setup as a transparent bridge, not a router. Can you make a simple sketch (or description) on how the subnets are setup? Also what is the gateway (192.168.1.254 according to...

TD-er

The idea is to make the range of WiFi smaller, so other mesh nodes may not detect it. I have the feeling the AP actively kicks off the ESP from it for a reason yet unknown to me. A few reasons that I can come up with: - Part of the 'mesh' algorithm to make sure the device reconnects to the strongest...

TD-er

You don't need to reflash it, you can also turn on AP via the serial command or just erase the wifi credentials via the serial command.
If you set the wifissid to "ssid" it will be considered as non-existing and then start the AP mode automatically.

TD-er

Do you have several APs with the same SSID? The TP-link Omada units I have here also react very strange on ESPs for example. If I connect to "the other" one with the same SSID, it may take sometimes upto 10 seconds before it can actually send data after connecting. Also the Omada unit may ...

The formula for correcting the humidity is in the BME280 code :) It is quite simple. First you compute the dew point based on measured temp and hum. Then you offset the temperature and compute the humidity based on the new temp and dew point. To compute dew point, I already included a conversion whi...

TD-er

Can you power cycle the access point too? (and the ESP just for good measure) The handshake timeout is funky as it suggests one side is not responding fast enough. This can of course be some process that's running wild. (or buffers full, etc.) Or either one (ESP or AP) does not hear the other one. T...

New test build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8guisppj0ygtg ... M.bin?dl=0

Please let me know how well this one behaves...

TD-er

The WiFi gets disconnected quite often, so I will make a new test build ASAP... (working on it right now).

TD-er

I also made a PR, which will be included in the next build to revert the behavior to how it was with a setting to allow to switch between the different calls to Deep Sleep.

Did you manage to look to the error?:

Thanks!

Can you try the test build I linked with the PR: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/3676

When looking for "unsynchronized" in the source code, I noticed this link: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues/2886#issuecomment-586656384 In other words, the "leap indicator" is set to "Reserved" or "Alarm condition" ... well follow the link for a...

Given the errors when using the pool.ntp.org, the ESP can resolve DNS, but not sure if it can resolve the local DNS. So for a test you could try to use the local IP of the host running the NTP service. Your gateway and DNS are set to the same host. I assume it is your router and not some L3 switch t...

TD-er

Does your network configuration have a gateway and proper subnetmask set?
Are you using DHCP or static IP?
Is the local NTP server defined via IP or domainname (e.g. router.local)

TD-er

In the second schematic, with the NodeMCU, there is no wire from 3v3 to Vs,
If powering the INA219 with 5V (not sure if that works...) you may risk setting the high of SDA and SCL to 5V and thus frying other sensors connected to the I2C bus.
Please double check this.

TD-er

I don't see why this can't be computed.
However, I do expect you need to compute this in parts, storing intermediate results in variables using the "let" command.

These functions should be included in the "Normal" and "Custom" builds.

TD-er

The BMx280 plugin does support BMP280 and BME280.
The BMP388 is not supported.
I have no idea what the differences are and if it is hard to support it.

TD-er

Nope not yet, but I guess it would make sense to split my (huge) project into something that's already mergeable as you "only" need the p2p layer. I will try to have a look at it and hopefully this weekend I can give you an estimate on whether it is doable to split it. I've been thinking a...

Great

Hope you also learned why it should be connected like this.

Looks OK. Just a few remarks: - The Fritzing image mentions "4.7 Ohm" that should be 4k7 Ohm, or 4700 Ohm. (10k is also fine, 4.7 Ohm is almost a short circuit) - The lines from the switch to the pull-up resistors is now drawn in red, it is more clear when drawn in the same colors as the G...

Just one thing to watch out for... the "on" state for both relays differs.
This is something that's very easy to overlook when debugging. Especially for relay 2, it is the inverse of what you would expect.

This part looks strange to me as that should be dealt with: 226347 : Error : WiFi : Scan not allowed, unprocessed WiFi events: disconn I will have a look at it this evening.

Looks much better :) But just to make it more clear, you better draw the resistors from a single 3v3 pin to the switches. Electrically it does not matter, just more clear in the drawing, when you have a single line from the GPIO pins as it is a rather small picture. The switches are larger, so easie...
