Improvement suggestion: Change of MQTT topic #6

Closed HakamSaffour closed 3 years ago

HakamSaffour commented 3 years ago

Scenario 1: After setting up everything and getting some results, I wanted to change the MQTT topic, I entered the local IP address of the SMLReader, then I changed the MQTT topic , then I clicked on 'Save'

Result: the SMLReader can not connect to the MQTT broker

Scenario 2: did the same as in scenario 1 and I also retyped the MQTT password, then clicked 'Save' Result: the SMLReader do connect to the MQTT broker

Potential improvement: make sure that MQTT password is not lost by changing the configuration

Hey @HakamSaffour,

thank you for your feedback. I'll have a look at this as soon as possible, but I guess this is an issue with the third-party-library IotWebConf.

I'm closing this issue for now, as I don't currently have time to debug the third-party library. I admit that the problem is annoying, but it can be fixed with a workaround and only occurs during the initial setup.
