Hi !
I have hooked ws2811 led strip with an esp12F and an IR receiver. It works fine when connected to the wifi network.
But I want to use this setup outside the house where WIFI signal is just not present. When I place the strip over there, the only option I am left with is to use WLED-AP for connecting phone. As soon as the power is turned ON, after connecting phone to WLED-AP, the webserver responds well.
But after sometime, the WLED-AP is still present and phone connects to it but phone/ laptop is not able to connect to the webserver at 4.3.2.1(both in browser and the android app), though IR remote still works fine. To make webserver work, I have to turn off power and turn back ON again and 4.3.2.1 responds again. After sometime, same behaviour.
The thing I want to ask is, is it normal for webserver to stop responding in AP mode after sometime. Or am I getting some unusual behaviour???
Above all let me say just this. WLED is just AWESOME !!!
I had similar issues.
I’m running an aliexpess ESP8266 - I have 0.10.0 installed.
After 40 minutes I wasn’t able to connect to the board anymore, I needed to reboot.
Under WIFI SETUP, I disabled the WiFi Sleep.
I think the web server disappeared once more after that too.
I rebooted, and disabled anything else I could find that I wasn’t using (alexa and other Hue things) and now its been “up” for 19 hours.
Hi
I have disabled them all but still get this issue. The way to reproduce the issue is to connect to the wifi AP and disconnect a couple of times and the AP disappears. Could you try that? This is happening when I connect an android phone to the WLED AP. However if I coneect and disconnect my laptop, then this issue does not reproduce.
So please try connecting and disconnecting with an android
