Wi-fi connection loss after plugging in USB-C cable/charger. #9

Closed Logic-7E8 closed 1 month ago

Logic-7E8 commented 1 month ago

On the WIKI page (https://wiki.deomgevingsmonitor.nl/index.php/ConfigMode) there is a remark that reads: " the current code is not yet efficient enough to work on the solar panel, so for now we can keep it powered using an old phone charger with a USB-C cable)"

However after successfully having setup the device to my Wi-Fi network and while it is sending data to https://deomgevingsmonitor.nl/ as soon as i plug in the USB-C cable the connection is lost and the device goes into reset state..

The same behavior as when i would follow the steps below:

  1. RESET (left button) the gadget and connect a 5V adapter to recharge the battery.
  2. Wait until the status LED flashes red every second.

Then when i remove the cable and press the RESET button once, it will reconnect to the Wi-fi and starts sending data again.

Is this as designed?

This is not the designed behavior.

Have you tried pressing the RESET button after it is plugged in a 5V adapter? Have you tried using another 5V adapter, another USB cable, and/or placing the monitor at a different location?

Thank you for the reply! Reset after plugging in the USB-C seems to solve the issue and reconnect to the Wi-Fi, i will try some more.

Another question, do you know if the device currently already has MQTT / API or some kind of webpage that i can access locally to check the status and or readings of the device?
