Config resets after exiting out of the app controlling WLED

[ArySlayer]

What happened?

"WLED is receiving live USB Adalight/TPM" data" The Configuration applies successfully but after exiting of Prismatik for example. The configuration returns to the default configuration. Turning this option off changes nothing: "Turn LEDs on after power up/reset:"

To Reproduce Bug

1. Set preset
2. Exit out of prismatik
3. preset has been reset to default config

Expected Behavior

You set your preset, with led preferences and save the configuration, after exiting Prismatik the LEDs should simply turn off, and when turned on again the saved config should apply

Install Method

Binary from WLED.me

What version of WLED?

0.14.1

Which microcontroller/board are you seeing the problem on?

ESP8266

Relevant log/trace output

No response

Anything else?

Somewhat hard to replicate due to the following : A) What is meant by "The configuration returns to the default configuration" and "preset has been reset to default config" does that mean wled goes to factory reset ? B) Have you tested with Hyperon also to rule out issues with Prismatik and which versions tested ? C) Why not try with 15 If you need to confirm from our side ( might be you do not need that ) then please test and clarify the above

Live data is always only temporary. If the configuration (i.e. settings) is changed it needs to be sent via valid JSON API.

A) WLED was factory reset B) Hyperion has the same problem C) Didn't work I also tried using older versions which had the same issue

So it is not a bug, but a feature.

So it is not a bug, but a feature.

So how do disable this feature

[blazoncek]

By writing custom WLED. 🤷‍♂️

I had the same issues with configs not saving, this was down to my boards partitions not being able to save the config. Once I created a new partitons bin file and flashed that I was able to save config files. I had a 4MB flash and so I made my partitons file like this:

Name, Type, SubType, Offset, Size, Flags

nvs, data, nvs, 0x9000, 0x5000, otadata, data, ota, 0xe000, 0x2000, app0, app, ota_0, 0x10000, 0x160000, app1, app, ota_1, 0x170000,0x160000, spiffs, data, spiffs, 0x2D0000,0x120000, coredump, data, coredump,0x3F0000,0x10000,

That gave enough room to fit wled firmware + ota and enough room in nvs and spiffs to save config stuff. After that I didn't get any issues with saving configs.
