Toggle Button on Root Webpage not working

[citrusfizz]

I have three Sonoff Basics and they were all using verion 2.1.2. I notice that in both Chrome and Firefox that the Toggle button didn't seem to do anything at all. I figured it'd probably be fixed in another version.

Today i saw 3.1.16 and flashed them all to that as you now have support for Alexa. However, again, this toggle button seems to do nothing.

I turned on debug (console) and viewed the Chrome Console as well when i press this button. But it's as if it really doesn't do anything. No change in my devices, console or anything when i press that button.

Am i missing something?

No idea why. Works for me in Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge...

FWIW, I've had the Toggle button not work occasionally after restart, until pressed a couple of times. Then it works. This may be due to connectivity issues if the processor is currently stuck in a network operation, it may cause the UI to appear non-functional. e.g. unable to connect to a MQTT server.

Also, I've seen this sort of issue with sick/bad Sonoff devices. i have 2 out of 19 sonoffs that behave poorly. One has very poor signal strength (even when next to the AP) and times out large packets. The other has great signal (RSSI > 90) but seems to crap out when sending large packets. Both of which exhibit the symptoms you are seeing too. Thus you may possibly have bad devices.

If the MQTT setting are not correct (e.g. if left with the author's default settings) there is a relatively long period of being unresponsive while waiting for a login timeout. Could this be affecting you?

i just tested a sonoff that has been on for a while, still doesn't seem to do anything. i did see it work (once) i control the device with my MQTT server so i know that is setup correctly.

I'm running 3.1.8 on 3 devices (2 sonoff, 1 custom), and toggle from the web interface has never worked for me (chrome on windows). About to flash a slampher later tonight; will try latest and report.
