3 years ago Hello :) Thanks for interesting of this project. Last few days I'm working on library stability, therefore version v1.07 is recomended. However theare are big improvement on this library.
- Take the latest version (just latest commit not labeled yet) , you can see #41 discussion and the latest acvievemt, I have met such behaviour and there are two things done, which really improves and I can't reproduce this more.
- Take a look #49, based on your setting you should compile with option v2 Higher Bandwidth , instead v2 Lower Memory
If you want to support and improve stability try to reproduce this behaviour again and very helpfull will be a CORE LOG (specially i need mDNS logs) at the moment when device is not responding
Then. In theory when it's stable reproducing you can try MDNS.announce() for instance every 5-10 sec in the loop. I did't implement this in the core, becasue it will kill network by garbage and I need an optimal way
Will appreciate with the comments or any pull request of sources or readme, to help to other guys, due to the big interest in the last months

Hello :)
I am using the EspHapSwitch example. I have set the ssid and password to match my network. #define ENABLE_WIFIMANAGER is commented out.
I have successfully connected the ESP to my home WiFi and paried the switch accessory with the Home app on my iPhone.
The iPad is set to act as a Home Hub, with the intention that I will be able to access the accessories while I am away from home. The iPad will stay in the home even when I sell it, so the iPad has its own iTunes/iCloud account, which is logged in, and this is different to the iTunes/iCloud account on my iPhoneX. To get the accessories on my iPhoneX, I sent a guest invite from Home on the iPad to the iPhoneX. The guest access is configured such that guests are permitted to modify/add/remove accessories and can access while away from the home.
When I turn off WiFi on my iPhoneX, to simulate being away from home, and then place my iPhoneX on the desk with the Home app open, the switch accessory continues to show healthy for some minutes, but then shows No Response in the Home app. Note, I haven't pressed the button, just left the Home app open on the Home or Garage room. I'm looking at my iPhoneX and it's saying it right now. It shows an exclamation mark on the accessory in the Home app, and has the state ("Off") in red text. It also says, "Test Switch No Response" (I named the accessory Test Switch when I added it to the Home app.
If I minimise the Home app on my iPhoneX and then open it again, the Test Switch state changes to "Updating" and then after a few seconds, shows "Off", which is the correct status and the "No Response" message goes away.
The iPad is plugged in to power, but the screen has gone to sleep (I don't want to leave the iPad screen on 24/7 with no sleep).
I am not sure how to proceed to make it reliably stay available in the Home app, without it changing to "No Response". Are you able to help with this please? I am keen to do whatever debugging can help with the investigation :)
After some testing like this, I have changed the iPad iTunes/iCloud account, to use the same one on both the iPhoneX and iPad and re-added the accessory. Now the accessory in the iPhoneX (with WiFi turned off) seems to be working better, I have left the phone on and with the Home app open on the iPhoneX for 15 minutes and it has not come up with "no response" yet.
Could it be related to accessing the accessories as an invited guest and different iTunes/iCloud accounts? Or is there something else we can investigate?
