New install not working on Sonoff Basic

[dbemowsk]

So I used PlatformIO to compile and upload ESPEasy-mega-20230409. It compiles and uploads fine. When I plug in the Sonoff, it goes into AP mode as I can see the ESP Easy AP with my phone. I can also connect using the default password espconfig (or whatever that was). My phone shows that I am connected, but when I go to my web browser, the captive portal does not take me to the main configuration page. It says age not found. I checked my WIFI seetings on the phone and the ESP Easy AP has an IP address of 192.168.4.100 which tells me that things are working, but even when I type that IP address in the web browser it still won't go to the config page.

I tried doing some searching in the forum for captive portal and for that IP address, but wasn't finding the answer to my issue.

Any help is appreciated.

Maybe you should try to enter the WiFi credentials via serial port console.

Code: Select all

wifissid,TheSSIDofYourWiFiNetwork
wifikey,TheWiFiPasswordOfYourNetwork
save

I suspect the power supply of your Sonoff Basic may be a bit too unstable to handle both AP mode and connect to WiFi.
The power supply of the Sonoff Basic is notoriously bad.

Please make sure you're using a build for 1MB flash.

Thank you, I'll give that a try.

Maybe you also need to reboot after calling 'save'
Or just try the command "wifidisconnect" as that will also trigger a restart of the WiFi radio without a reboot.

OK, I feel so dumb right now. The 192.168.4.100 address was the IP address of my phone while connected to the AP. THe IP of the AP was 192.168.4.1. Once I put that in the browser, I got to the config page.
