Hi Ricardo

Situation Remote or inaccessible igate. Power failure and subsequent restoration

Issue If the wifi AP takes longer than the igate to recover on power restoration, the igate does not connect to the recovered AP.

Possible solutions

Parameter in the config file to specify a delay on boot before attemting to connect to wifi
If the wifi does not connect and the autoAP is not used, then go back and retry the wifi connection.

env: heltec_wifi_lora_32_V3

Many thanks for your incredible work on this software.

Hi, on the firmware there is a delay:

LoRa_APRS_iGate.cpp line 58

but this is enabled over VSCODE firmware upload only (for now) please test

OK many thanks Ricardo. I will edit and test. I do all the uploads via Vscode.

Recovery after power failure is now perfect. The switch and AP come up then the igate connects. I only need a 1 min delay.

I have closed the issue but would it be possible to move this configuration to the igate_config.json file?

Many thanks Ricardo
