Can't connect to ESP unit with static IP

#1 Post by DomoticaRob » 26 Feb 2018, 12:06

I do have a ESP8266 dev board with ESPEasy on it, a DHT22 temperature sensor and a relay on a GPIO.
That works fine with Domoticz and was also reachable in my Google Chrome browser. So:

192.168.2.8/control?cmd=GPIO.5.1

worked fine.

Then I gave the ESP unit a static IP . Since that moment I can’t reach it anymore in my browser. So:

192.168.2.8/control?cmd=GPIO.5.1

is not working anymore.

However, in Domoticz I still get the temperature and I also can control the GPIO with:

http://192.168.2.8/control?cmd=GPIO,5,1

Because I can’t reach the ESP unit with my browser I can’t change the IP settings in ESPEasy dashboard.

How can I reach the ESP unit again with my browser?

What firmware version?
Did you set the gateway and netmask?

I never encounter any problem and my devices are on static IP.

That has never worked (or is it a typo?): 192.168.2.8/control?cmd=GPIO.5.1

. is not a valid delimiter. Only <space> or , is allowed. So try 192.168.2.8/control?cmd=GPIO,5,1 like in your link.

The firmware version is:

ESP_Easy_mega-20180104_normal_ESP8266_4096.bin

Yes, I did set the gateway and netmask.

Yes, it's a typo.

In the good days:

192.168.2.8/log

did work, and now not anymore.

Ofcourse I can start all over again. But I want to have a static IP so that if my AP is powered off and on again, the ESP unit will keep the same IP.

It's what Vader said, change the "." in "," and then it will work.

No, that's not the problem. It was only a misstype in this topic.
In my browser I use "," comma's.

In the past I could type:

http://192.168.2.8/log

and I got the log.

Now it's not working anymore, and it's since I changed to static IP.

Because I can't come into the ESPEasy interface anymore, I can't change back to DHCP.

I think I have to start all over again.

Can you change the "firewall" setting in the node?
The problem is this IP filtering is using the netmask to see if you're allowed to access.
Default is "local subnet only".
But if your subnetmask is wrong, you are not allowed access.
You can disable the IP filtering using a command (via serial, since WLAN is not working for you now).
This will disable it until the next reboot, but that's enough to set it to "allow all".
The command is "clearaccessblock"

Hallo TD-er,

Ik doe het even in het Nederlands in de hoop dat ik ga begrijpen wat jij bedoelt.

Ik heb mijn firewall (Windows Defender Firewall) uitgeschakeld. Geen resultaat
Mogelijk dat dit niet is wat jij bedoelt.

Wat bedoel jij met 'via serial'?

Het gaat mij om de setting "IP filtering" in de ESPeasy settings.
Je kunt commando's sturen via de seriële poort (waarover je ook de firmware flasht) en via een HTTP-url.
Dat laatste gaat niet lukken als je er niet bij kunt met je browser.
Dus dan zal je even met de seriële poort moeten verbinden en een terminal sessie, via Arduino IDE, of PlatformIO, of wat je dan ook gebruikt.
In dat venster kun je allerlei commando's geven, waaronder dus "clearaccessblock", om de IP-filtering tijdelijk uit te schakelen.

Wellicht moet ik nog een andere vorm van uitschakelen erbij maken, want ik snap dat dit een prima manier is om je buiten te sluiten ;)

Dank voor jouw reactie. Ik begrijp wat jij bedoelt.
Morgen ga ik het uitproberen, ik kan de unit nu niet loskoppelen, en ik laat weten of het gelukt is.

Hallo TD-er,

Ik mijn ESP8266 dev board met ESPEasy aan mijn PC gehangen en nog voordat ik de Arduino IDE opstartte dacht ik, eens even kijken hoe het nu is. En whola, het werkte. The unit weer losgekoppeld, eigen PSU eraan, en nog steeds werken. Hoe kan dat?

Nu blijkt het volgende:

Ik heb drie PC's in mijn netwerk:

1. Windows XP (ja, dat is oud, maar draait nog steeds AutoCAD op, dus zo laten), Google Chrome, ESPEasy webinterface werkt prima.
2. Windows 8.1, Google Chrome, ESPEasy webinterface werkt prima.
3. Windows 10, Google Chrome, ESPEasy webinterface werkt niet.

Ik heb geprobeerd te kijken naar de verschillende instellingen van de drie systemen en kan zo snel niet vinden waar de verschillen zitten. Ook heb ik de browsergeschiedenis en cache geleegd, geen resultaat.

Enig idee waar het probleem zit?

Vergelijk de IP-adressen van die 3 PC's eens en dan vooral ook de gebruikte subnetmask.
Wat me namelijk opviel was dat je 192.168.2.x gaf als link.
Het kan heel goed zijn dat je 192.168.2.0/24 al netwerk hebt thuis, maar .2 is niet heel gebruikelijk.
Als je bijvoorbeeld 192.168.1.x en 192.168.2.x gebruikt, dan moet je als subnetmask 255.255.252.0 gebruiken.

Kijk dus maar even welk subnetmask je gebruikt en welke IP-adressen.

3. Windows 10, Google Chrome, ESPEasy webinterface werkt niet.
Lijkt dus een WIN10 probleem.
Probeer eens een ping vanaf die WIN10 computer.
Zijn 192.168.2.5 en 192.168.2.6 wel ping-able vanaf die WIN10 computer?

Alles is ping-able, zie onderstaande. Wat mij opvalt is dat het ESP8266 dev board met ESPEasy (192.168.2.8) als enige geen Hostname heeft. Zou dat het probleem kunnen zijn? Hoe geef ik dit board een Hostname?

I see a lot of different observations:
- can reach / can not reach
- some computers can reach / others can not reach
- ping time long-short-long-short

Wifi transmission is power hungry!
Are you sure about your powersupply and cable?
ESP8266 development board
Is this a Wemos D1 mini?
Without branding?
I have experienced intermittent problems with 2 non-branded "Wemos D1 mini's"
Very power hungry and USB cable problems resulting in intermittent Wifi problems.
Where a branded Wemos D1 mini had no problem with that specific Power&USB combination.
