Not working properly

[lsgdefault]

hey so first thing first i would like to thanks developers for making service like sinric for free it help me very much and working stable for past 2-3 months. but yesterday it stopped working i mean alexa was responding okay turned on light and all but it didn't turned on anything so i connected it with my laptop and it gives status like disconnected with sinric web services. for 5-6 hours it was disconnected. after some times i came back to home and checked it so it says connected to web services but now the problem is it gives delay to output and sometime it don't even gives output. i said turn off light and alexa said ok and after 48 seconds it turned off my light so it's not stable now. I want to know it you are closing service because of sinric pro or you are moving server or something. please help me.

Hi @lsgdefault

Disconnects are hard to pinpoint where it's coming from. It could be the bad code, ESP, or it could be the router / network provider/ the server. Normally WebSocket library reconnects afaik when disconnection was detected. (disconnection detection normally takes time as well). Make sure you have enabled setReconnectInterval https://github.com/Links2004/arduinoWebSockets/blob/master/examples/esp8266/WebSocketClient/WebSocketClient.ino#L94 and you should do some test on your own and fix these kinds of issues

Sinric is not shutting down soon... however, It's running on a cheap VPS server and resources are limited at the moment. If someone else is flooding the server with on/off requests it will slow down for the rest of the people. There are few issues like this, that's why I created Pro. The server needs to be rewritten with these problems in mind. Please consider moving to Pro. I will update your other question regarding Sinric vs pro

As i said everything is perfect in my code and hardware and that code, hardware and home network worked perfectly for past few months so why it is being problem for me now? And second sinric pro don't give 8 device for free so that's something.

I am running a light on Sinric (non Pro) and have no such issues. Voice commands are handled within 2 seconds without delay. So mabye there are some wifi problems that causing this issue!?

i don't know i didn't change my broadband or something....!!
