Wifi seems to be dead.. how to get the config (r120)

#1 Post by dannybloe » 26 Mar 2019, 17:49

Howdee folks,

Of all my ESPEasy's in my house there is one running old r120 software and no backup. Turns out it won't connect to wifi anymore but it seems it still runs. I can connect to it using the serial interface and indeed it seems it cannot find any ssids so I assume the wifi of the board (Lolin) is dead.

So my question is: is there a way to get to the config? The rules and the pin config? Or are there any other ways to get to my stuff?

Help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Danny

My guess:

.... the 49 day bug ???
In those days there was a counter that went wrong.
A re-boot within the 49 day time-frame was the solution (make a rule).
or ... as for now, power off & on is the only way to get the Wifi connection back.
30+ ESP units for production and test. Ranging from control of heating equipment, flow sensing, floor temp sensing, energy calculation, floor thermostat, water usage, to an interactive "fun box" for my grandson. Mainly Wemos D1.

Unfortunately that doesn't work. I rebooted the thing several times (remove power) and that didn't work. I do get serial connection but I have no idea how to get some useful information from the esp. Thing is that it had some unusual pin-configurations and I kinda forgot what it was :?

Hence my question if there is any way to get the config off the board in someway.

Still weird it doesn't want to connect to wifi anymore...

If you can backup the entire ROM then you can migrate to working hardware. So something like this is worth a shot:

But, maybe WiFi is working and the STA mode settings are corrupted. That would probably cause ESPEasy fallback to AP mode. Have you checked that?

You're welcome. Glad to hear you solved it. Which method did you fix it with, backup migration or WiFi AP mode?

The backup as wifi is not working anymore, including AP mode.
