What happens if you powercycle the ESP instead of reflashing?
Oh sorry! Could have written that info ;-)
Powercycle the ESP or using the reset switch don't bring it to live again.

Mh did not find any solution yet :-/
Found out, that if I read out the serial output from the esp - and then start prismatik - it works. Like the esp sends something and gets blocked by that....?!
Ah yes ESPs show some log on boot looks like there are ways around it https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=535687.0
There is no answer inside that thread - he asks on the last page again - "how to - must be possible!?"
Also I found out that opening the port is enough to let Prismatik work again - could it be that there is a not that nice way used to opening the port?
I just opened the serial monitor - got nothing - quit it and opened Prismatik -> works.
Try setting Prismatik logs to max in and checking them while testing
I' dont really see an ERROR in the Log. :-/ beside:

Any Ideas on that log? :-)
Would be so cool if it works.
I ran your sketch on a D1, I changed it a bit to use 3pins (ws2812) With the board plugged in and Prismatik pre-configured, when I launch Prismatik it instantly works. I can quit/relaunch Prismatik, it still works without touching the board. When I reboot, as soon as I launch Prismatik it works without touching the board. At no point I need to reflash it.
The only thing that breaks: if I unplug/replug the usb while Prismatik is running, it won't pick it up. But as soon as Prismatik restarts it's all good.
Mh ok - strange.
I have an external 5v power supply on the strip - usb is powering the wemos d1. I can test one thing - the 5V power is starting after the USB power... evtl thats a problem.
Mh no change...
From reflashing I went to just reading out the com port... That was enough - so it is no reflash needed.
But I can start Ambi Box it works directly O_o I don't get it.
*Edit - so no change of power or usb port does anything.
As soon as I open Arduino IDE -> Serial Monitor (without anything viewable in the monitor) on the COM of the Adalight. Close it and open Prismatik -> Works.
Reboot: Open Prismatik -> Nothing turns on - but Symbol says lights should be on. Close Prismatik -> Arduino IDE -> Serial Monitor (without anything viewable in the monitor) - close it Open Prismatik -> works.
Opening the com port with putty does not fix it.
I have a workaround for me:
I reset the ESP8266 with esptool - then it works.
Arduino IDE and Pyhthon installed it works with one line for me:
python %homepath%\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.6.3\tools\esptool\esptool.py --port COM1 run
Or as full batch:
TASKKILL /IM Prismatik.exe /F /T
python %homepath%\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.6.3\tools\esptool\esptool.py --port COM1 run
timeout 3
start "" "C:\Program Files\Prismatik\Prismatik.exe"
exit
Hey there,
I used Ambibox with my ESP8266 (WemosD1mini) and WS2801 led strip and wanted to change to your much better Prismatik version. It works well till I reboot my machine.
After that the Strip wont light up and the strip does not longer get used by Prismatik. I have to reflash it with Arduino IDE to make it work again. Ambibox started in that situation just starts the ambilight.
Probably missing magic word or something? Or a thing of timing? Would like to get that fixed - you Prismatik is so much better. :-D
EDIT - adding infos
Thanks for your work.
