Arduino Library 2.17.0

[alvarolb]

Date: 06/08/2021
Component: Arduino Library
Release Note: Fix compiling error & improved IoT connection security

Additional Information

• Fix compiling error on newer ESP8266 core
• Added CA root certificates for secure TLS connection
• Now ESP8266 & ESP32 verify TLS connections by default both for community & private instances
• Deprecated _VALIDATE_SSL_CERTIFICATE_ definition, now default TLS verification can be disabled with THINGER_INSECURE_SSL
• Update ESP32 example to remove the use of BUILTIN_LED which caused compiling errors
• Update ESP8266 WifiManager to support new secure connections

I have this error what i do? please help

Hi, what device are you using?

[1118]

I using ESP8266(nodeMCU)

[alvarolb]

Hi, just tested it and it is woking fine out of the box

• Arduino 1.8.15
• Thinger library version 2.17.0
• ESP8266 3.0.2
  

Sample code

#define _DEBUG_
#include <ThingerESP8266.h>

#define USERNAME "alvarolb"
#define DEVICE_ID "ESP8266"
#define DEVICE_CREDENTIAL "XXXXX"

#define SSID "TP-LINK_XYZ"
#define SSID_PASSWORD "XXXXX"

ThingerESP8266 thing(USERNAME, DEVICE_ID, DEVICE_CREDENTIAL);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
  thing.add_wifi(SSID, SSID_PASSWORD);
  thing["led"] << digitalPin(LED_BUILTIN);
  thing["millis"] >> outputValue(millis());
}

void loop() {
  thing.handle();
}

Result:

[NETWORK] Connected to WiFi!

doing same but, not move

[alvarolb]

Can I see your code?
Can I see a ping result from your machine to iot.thinger.io?

[1118]

yes here

[alvarolb]

And the ping result? Thanks!

[1118]

I’m sorry. I didn’t understand.
Isn’t ping 25202 in the picture above?

[alvarolb]

Hi, I mean a ping from your computer terminal, to see where the domain is resolving, i.e.,

[ega]

This wifi network (the one you are using), has security policies? Because I was thinking that maybe the device is behind a firewall or something that blocks the outbound connection to the cloud server port.

You may try sharing wifi from your cell phone, mobile carriers usually does not block and allows the connection without issues.

If the device connects from cell phone shared wifi and cannot by the local wifi network, the issue is with the local network.

Hope this helps.

[1118]

OK, let me check. Thank you.

[George_Santiago]

I have the same problem. I informed this post and attached images. . I can only establish a connection if I put “#define DISABLE_TLS”

I ping two addresses:

[alvarolb]

OK! I am checking it. Can you please test by defining the following on top of the scketch?

#define THINGER_SERVER "iot.thinger.io"

I tried WiFi on SmartPhone, but it didn’t work.

Hi,

I will try to replicate your situation with an ESP8266 to see where could be the issue.

Regards,

[George_Santiago]

Hi @ega . Did you manage to replicate the error on ESP8266?
I still get the same error on ESP8266.

I did an initial test with ESP32 and the 2.18 library (using VS Code and Platformio) and managed to successfully connect to Thinger.io server.
But I still do more tests.

In my case, I really need the library bug fix for ESP8266, because my projects were developed with it. I will only be migrating to ESP32 for the next few months.

[ega]

Hi,

Yes, I had the same issue, what you can do is downgrade to version 2.16 meanwhile they patch the library, thats how I get the uC connected.

Hope this helps.
