Hi all,
Maybe you could help me explain why this happen. I use VSCode + PlatformIO + ThingerIO. I am using Wemos ESP8266 D1 Mini board.
Vanilla example ESP8266OTA from ThingerIO was working. I added simple led blink to that example also was working – I could update the blink interval using OTA update.
Next, I put EspMQTTClient arduino/platformio library from Patrick Lapointe in the sketch. Once the firmware is running … I can no longer do OTA update. The serial debug showed “Cannot Read Socket” and in VSCode there was a notification of “timeout 60000ms”.
I use my own MQTT server in my local network, and I want to see if OTA from ThingerIO can be used for this project.
Below is the code which is no longer able to handle OTA after I added MqttClient.loop() in the loop(){}.
I hope someone can help me explain what happened, and how should I do it to make it work.
By the way, it is working fine with ESP32 (NodeMCU-32s).
Cheers,
Fahmy
