What happened? What did you expect to happen?

II have noticed that commands are sometimes executed very late or not at all, regardless of whether they are sent via the GUI or REST (e.g. command line). In these cases, the browser can hang for minutes, the WebGUI or even an eg. "http:///shades" command isn't reachable then. It is as if the ESP is busy with itself and will be ready to respond at some point. Commands sent in the meantime will be executed with a massive delay or not at all.

PS. Just noticed the brand new 2.4.0 release. Have installed it and will observe any changes in behaviour...

Unfortunately, the update to 2.4.0 didn't help.

It's very strange: There seem to have been remaining commands in the queue, which were now processed with a considerable delay (more than 30 minutes); the WebGUI was unavailable for at least 1/4 hour.

I almost suspect that there is an issue with the power supply so the ESP gets completely instabile: I've just found an article about it (sorry, it's only in German)

P.S. My board is a Wemos Lolin D32

oookaaay --- I think it's solved:

I now have changed the cable (to a shorter and thicker one) and set an 470 uF smoothing Elko in parallel to VCC/GND and up to now i didn't encounter any more lags!

Sorry for bothering here - anyway I don't delete the post as it might be useful for someone... 😇?!?
