Just though I would ask here instead of creating an issue in github…
I have a wled running 0.8.6 on a nodemcu esp8266 and it was working fine yesterday, but today I have found that it doesn’t “turn off” with the button in the interface. It also doesn’t respond to master brightness changes. At first I thought it went offline but I then realized that it is still responding to effect changes. I am interacting with it on a Galaxy Note 9. I haven’t tried with my kids ipod yet.
Hi @spiff72, sounds interesting - did you try to restart the ESP ? Does the issue stay there ?
However - this is not the intended behavior- either everything should be “controllable” or nothing (if offline).
Yes, I unplugged it briefly to power-cycle it, but the issue persisted after the reboot. I noticed this last night when going to bed, so haven’t had a chance to look into it any further yet.
I gave control of this to my son (who is 9), and I suppose he may have poked around in the settings, but I doubt it. I checked to make sure that the number of LEDs was still configured correctly (and it was).
hmmm - I do not think that you can get into this by changing anything in the settings.
Anyhow: I personaly think that WiFi problems sometimes just “happen” to ESP devices.
Yesterday I tried to connect to my ESP32 (running WLED) and could not reach to UI.
The effect was running well (I’ve a push button on GPIO0 and did switch on the LEDs with this).
I re-flashed the ESP and could connect to the WLED-AP, but after that no further.
I then did a “erase flash” and started all over.
This did not work either the first time and I tried a second time.
Then I could configure WiFi and connect through my WLAN again.
I had almost the same thing last night on a different ESP8266. It was working perfectly the previous night, and then when I went to connect to it yesterday, the UI wouldn’t load. It didn’t appear on my router’s client list (I had the fixed IP address assigned via the WLED UI). It ALSO wasn’t showing up as an access point (which in the past would happen when it didn’t connect to the router). I power cycled several times, restarted router, no effect.
I had to erash flash, and reflash the 0.8.6 binary to get it working again. Weird.
