EDIT
apologies. the problem was in me being lazy with configuring the static IP with:
WiFi.config( ip, gateway, subnet );
that works......most of the time, but not always.
Using
WiFi.config( ip, dns, gateway, subnet );
solved the problem
==============================================
The library works great. My compliments.
However, when instead of letting DHCP assign a an IP nr, I tried a static IP in the conventional esp8266 way, I found it not working. I get the right ip nr assigned, I see the IP nr appear in my router table, the serial monitor prints out the IP....and then nothing, No incoming messages registered.
I can't imagine this to be a problem. but yet it appears to be.
WiFi.config( ip, gateway, subnet ); // <= Problem here
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
and I set: client.setInsecure();
When I comment out the WiFi.config...the bot works, when I leave it in it doesnt
I can live without Static IP, but it intrigues me why it wouldnt work with the bot

I use IPAddress ip( 192, 168, 1, 34 ); IPAddress gateway( 192, 168, 1, 1 ); IPAddress subnet( 255, 255, 255, 0 );
