Sending data to more than one controller

[grasvezel]

Hi all,

I was experimenting with the p2p functionality. I have multiple ESP's, and decided to try and get an extra ESP to display some measurements on an OLED display. The ESP's I had already running all post their data to Domoticz. I added the P2P network as an extra controller and ticked the box on two sensors. Nothing happened, until I decided to try and disable the upload to Domoticz for one sensor. It seems ESP Easy does not support posting sensor data to more than one controller. Is that expected behaviour? If so, shouldn't there be a drop down or radio buttons in the web interface rather than checkboxes that allow multiple controllers to be selected at the same time? If not, this might be a bug.

It must be a bug. All three controllers should work in tandem. Please open an issue on GitHub. Remember to add add much information as possible.

I will, thanks.

I've been fiddling around a bit to get more info. It turns out that *UPDATING* variables on the receiving ESP actually kept working after enabling multiple controllers for this task. The creation of the task on the receiving ESP is done only at the moment the task is submitted on the sending ESP. When I first created that task, the receiving ESP already had a task with that number. I deleted that, re-created it with a higher number and waited. Nothing happened. Only after I disabled sending data to the first controller (on the sending ESP), the task on the receiving ESP was created. It turns out I didn't have to disable it, just re-submitting it would have been enough.

Sorry about that. This is probably expected behaviour, right?

Ok, thanks for the feedback.
