Config reliability #40

Open scargill opened 4 years ago

scargill commented 4 years ago

No doubt about it, Tasmotizer is the best way to Tasmotize our ESPs, but on several occations I've found the CONFIG section less than reliable. If I use Tasmotizer to flash the chip then flick over to my phone and enter the SSID, pass and ID, the chip hops onto my network every time, but if I choose instead to use the config page on Tasmotizer, it doesn't always work and I sometimes end up having to re-flash the ESP (using Tasmotizer of course). Am I alone?

Peter,

I found that setting too much info at once does not work with Tasmota.

I keep a couple of text lines, which I copy-paste in the console.

  1. Network settings ( ex. ssid1, password)
  2. Other network settings ( ex. Ntp, timezone )
  3. States and Mqtt settings (ex. poweronstate, ledstate, mqtthost, mqttuser )
  4. Custom names ( ex. Friendlyname, grouptopic )

Tasmota wants to restart on some settings, configuring on baby steps seen to work better for me.

Also I flash a blank, disconnect and leave off for an hour. Then flash (with erase) Tasmota. Connect with terminal, do settings slowly.

Hope it helps.

Logix.
