Arduino Library 2.25.2

alvarolb · April 25, 2022, 2:26pm

Date: 25 April 2022
Component: Arduino Library
Release Note: Add ESP32 WebConfig, Fix secure ESP8266 connections with WebConfig, and improve OTA stability.

Additional Information

2.25.2

Fix Compiling on WiFi devices without WiFi.begin() support after adding the WebConfig compatibility on ESP32.
Fix PORTENTA H7 compiling issue: does not implement WiFi.begin(SSID).

2.25.1

Fix ESP32 WebConfig issue (showing captive portal even if it was configured previously)
Improve ESP8266 NTP sync to be more fault-tolerant
THINGER_NTP_SERVER can be #defined to configure NTP server (defaults to pool.ntp.org)
THINGER_NTP_TIMEOUT can be #defined to configure NTP timeout.

2.25.0

Add support for ESP32 WebConfig. Requires WifiManager from Library Manager or GitHub - tzapu/WiFiManager: ESP8266 WiFi Connection manager with web captive portal (at least version 2.0 available on master).
Improve OTA by stopping user flows, handling timeouts, providing callbacks, etc.

Hello @alvarolb

I believe you identify an “intermittent bug” when using ThingerESP8266WebConfig.h.

The bug occurs intermittently (there are successful attempts and failure = “intermittent bug”) after registering the SSID and password of the Router/Modem. The problem causes the ESP8266 to restart. The “curious” is that after restart, everything works fine, the bug does not appear. It only occurs intermittently after registering the SSID and password of the Router/Modem.

As far as I could trace, the “intermittent bug” occurs right after the [NTP_SYN] Current time (UTC): message. It probably occurs in client_.connect(get_host(), THINGER_SSL_PORT); (LINK) .

See the 3 logs below. Log 1 and 2 report (rst cause:2) and log 3 (rst cause:4)

Is it the watchdog that is triggering the restart, considering the time to establish the connection?

NOTE: When re-examining log 1 and 2, I saw that the difference between the Serial.print “[NTP_SYN] Current time” and the error/reset is around 160 ms. So maybe it’s not WatDog, but some error/bug in the connection between the device and the Thinger Server. Maybe something related to the date and time obtained from the NTP and the communication with the Server (eg response sent by the Thinger Server that cannot be properly handled on the device)… Just some speculations.

It would be fantastic if the next version allowed array uplink, as mentioned in this thread:

My GSM device currently sends 1 sensor reading every 10 minutes (1 uplink). If I needed to increase the frequency to 5 reads every 10 minutes, I would have to do 5 uplinks. But it would be unfeasible, due to data consumption (the GSM plan only has 20Mb).

With this implement, it would be possible to send the 5 readings every 10 minutes (with only 1 uplink) through a single array, without exhausting the 20 Mb GSM plan.

How to change the WEB Portal of WifiManager in ThingerWebConfig.h by inserting code in setup()?

I tried to put the code (Ex: Hide the INFO Menu Button) in setup() to change the Menu in the WEB Portal that WifiManager, but it didn’t work.
I only managed to change the source code of the Arduino-Thinger library (image below).
Is there a way to do this, inserting the source code in setup(), because I didn’t want to change the source code of the Arduino-Thinger library, or the WifiManager?
