Using WifiManager with NTPClient

[Abhesheksh]

Basic Infos

Hardware

WiFimanager Branch/Release: Master

Esp8266/Esp32: ESP8266 / NodeMCU

Hardware: ESP-12E

Core Version: 2.4.0, staging

Description

Using NTPClient to get RTC doesnt work with wifimanager. Same code works when connecting with ssid and password after removing WM.

Problem description

When using NTPClient with WM, time starts from 0:0 and then refreshes but doesn't show actual time.

Settings in IDE

Module: NodeMcu

Same issue but he solved it by removing static IP. Is there anyway I can keep the static IP?

[tablatronix]

Not sure why this would make a difference, it should still work

[Georgie9117]

Just leave wifiManager.setSTAStaticIPConfig and use this after wifiManager.autoConnect

WiFi.begin();
WiFi.config(IPAddress(192, 168, 1, 148), IPAddress(192, 168, 1, 1), IPAddress(192, 168, 1, 1), IPAddress(255, 255, 255, 0));

It working for me on ESP8266.

This is my method，it works：

 //wm.setSTAStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(192,168,2,123), IPAddress(192,168,2,1), IPAddress(255,255,255,0) ); // set static ip,gw,sn  
 wm.setShowStaticFields(true);
 wm.setShowDnsFields(true);  

or

 wm.setSTAStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(192,168,2,123), IPAddress(192,168,2,1), IPAddress(255,255,255,0), IPAddress(192,168,2,1) ); // set static ip,gw,sn  
 wm.setShowStaticFields(true);
 wm.setShowDnsFields(true);
