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

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

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));

Hi, I've see the AutoConnectWithStaticIP.ino example, but the sequence of the instruction is different, the setSTAStaticIPConfig() method is before the autoConnect() call and this is not working for me, the only way is to put the instructions sequence:

WiFi.begin();
WiFi.config(IPAddress(192, 168, 2, 199), IPAddress(192, 168, 2, 1), IPAddress(192, 168, 2, 1), IPAddress(255, 255, 255, 0));

after the autoConnect() method call. In this way looking at the log start I can see for a moment the Dinamic IP set through the DHCP immediately followed by the static IP assignement, but this is not a problem for me, here a shot of the output log:

Starting
*wm:AutoConnect
*wm:Connecting to SAVED AP: ITALSENSOR-BASE
*wm:connectTimeout not set, ESP waitForConnectResult...
*wm:AutoConnect: SUCCESS
*wm:STA IP Address: 192.168.2.198
(Start) Connected to: 192.168.2.199

the (Start) means my output, the other line is from the library. You can see that after the AutoConnect I've the dynamic IP ...198 followed by the static one ...199.

There is other specific example about to set the static IP?

As a side note, may be useful, in my design I'm using at this time:

• WiFiManager (to have AP and configure local WiFi network)
• HTTP Web Server (to manage some commands)
• SD manager (to store and retrieve large file)
• FTP manager (to upload / download file from SD card)
• NTP Client (to have an update timestamp)

Thanks and best regards.

Are you sure this isnt esp autoconnect?
Have you tested without calling wm at all ?

or add wifi mode off

Hi,
I think to have solved, after reading with more attention the README I've see the following note related to the NTP stuff:

NOTE: You should fill DNS server if you have HTTP requests with hostnames or syncronize time (NTP). It's the same as gateway ip or a popular (Google DNS: 8.8.8.8).

in my first code, into the setSTAStaticIPConfig() method call, I've not set the DNS value, by putting it now all is working as expected so here below my updated setup() code:

  WiFiManager wm;

  // Set static IP (also visible into the AP page)
  wm.setSTAStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(192,168,2,199), IPAddress(192,168,2,1), IPAddress(255,255,255,0), IPAddress(192,168,2,1)); // set static ip,gw,sn,dns
  wm.setShowStaticFields(true); // force show static ip fields
  wm.setShowDnsFields(true);    // force show dns field always

  bool res;
  res = wm.autoConnect("AutoConnectAP","MyPassword");
  if(!res) {
      wm.resetSettings();
      delay(1000);
      // AP connection failed
      Serial.println("(Start) Failed to connect to the AutoConnectAP AP!");
      Serial.println("(Start) System will be reset...");
      delay(3000);
      ESP.restart();
      delay(5000);
  } 
  else {
      // WiFi connection with saved credential was succesfully
      Serial.print("(Start) Connected to: ");
      Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
      
      // Read ESP32 MAC address and print over serial
      uint64_t espChipID = ESP.getEfuseMac();
      Serial.print("(Start) ESP32 MAC: ");
      Serial.println(mac2String((byte*) &espChipID));
  }

and also the NTP is working properly.

And here below my start log:

 Starting
*wm:AutoConnect 
*wm:STA IP set: 192.168.2.199
*wm:No wifi saved, skipping 
*wm:AutoConnect: FAILED for  1 ms

Have you tested without calling wm at all ? > > or add wifi mode off Hi, I think to have solved, after reading with more attention the README I've see the following note related to the NTP stuff: ```` NOTE: You should fill DNS server if you have HTTP requests with hostnames or syncronize time (NTP). It's the same as gateway ip or a popular (Google DNS: 8.8.8.8). ```` in my first code, into the **setSTAStaticIPConfig()** method call, I've not set the DNS value, by putting it now all is working as expected so here below my updated **setup()** code: ``` WiFiManager wm; // Set static IP (also visible into the AP page) wm.setSTAStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(192,168,2,199), IPAddress(192,168,2,1), IPAddress(255,255,255,0), IPAddress(192,168,2,1)); // set static ip,gw,sn,dns wm.setShowStaticFields(true); // force show static ip fields wm.setShowDnsFields(true); // force show dns field always bool res; res = wm.autoConnect("AutoConnectAP","MyPassword"); if(!res) { wm.resetSettings(); delay(1000); // AP connection failed Serial.println("(Start) Failed to connect to the AutoConnectAP AP!"); Serial.println("(Start) System will be reset..."); delay(3000); ESP.restart(); delay(5000); } else { // WiFi connection with saved credential was succesfully Serial.print("(Start) Connected to: "); Serial.println(WiFi.localIP()); // Read ESP32 MAC address and print over serial uint64_t espChipID = ESP.getEfuseMac(); Serial.print("(Start) ESP32 MAC: "); Serial.println(mac2String((byte*) &espChipID)); } ``` and also the NTP is working properly.
