LwIP Variant set to v1.4 Higher Bandwidth #227

Open intouchrandb opened 2 years ago

intouchrandb commented 2 years ago

This project works great, thanks for everyones support. I know we are suppose to use LwIP Variant set to v1.4 Higher Bandwidth with the esp8266 and fauxmoESP , but the time.h library with Network Time Protocol does not work with v1.4 Higher Bandwidth but works fine with v2 Lower Memory. During my testing I find both time.h/NTP and fauxmoESP work good together with v2 Lower Memory, and have not found any issues with fauxmoESP running with v2 Lower Memory. So my question is how important is it to use v1.4 Higher Bandwidth with fauxmoESP? What issues might show up later? I’m using esp8266 12E core 2.74, fauxmoESP ver 3.4.

If it works for you right now, I would not expect any issues in the future.

It could be that there has been a change to LwIP and the current V2 Low Memory version now works fine, however I haven't tried recently.

I likely won't have any time to do testing for at least a week or two, so if any others can report back on this it would be greatly appreciated!

Regarding v1 vs. v2, ESPurna builds with v2 for at least a year, and the only apparent issue is the inability to control more than 9 'devices' with the lib https://github.com/xoseperez/espurna/blob/ad8e30fcda57b3ae591dbd6da270c308445ccc6d/code/platformio.ini#L94 If fauxmo still uses the lwip buffer directly (client->send() / client->add()), high bandwidth will definitely be a better choice. With low mem there's only 1kib of buffer available
