Basic Infos

Hardware

WiFimanager Branch/Release: Master

Esp8266/Esp32:

Hardware: D1 mini

Description

Im trying to reconnect to my known SSID that was successful but i cannot reconnect to it after a power outage. All the device does is boot up another AP which i dont want. I have tried multiple ways to keep restarting the device, wifi begin etc etc but i always starts a new AP on SSID not found boot up.

What i want to achieve:
After a power outage for the ESP device to keep retrying the known SSID from the config file.
I will handle a reset for AP manually if i wish to but all i want is on boot for the device to keep trying to connect to the known SSID as the routers take a while to boot.

Settings in IDE

Module: Wemos D1

Additional libraries:

Sketch

#BEGIN
#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);

  bool spiffsSetup = loadConfigFile();
  if (!spiffsSetup)
  {
    Serial.println(F("Forcing config mode as there is no saved config"));
    forceConfig = true;
  }

  setupWifiManager();
}

void loop() {
   //Continue to connect to MQTT and reconnect if dropped. Connect to known SSID on boot and dont start a new AP.
  //Listen for button press to start AP if i wish to.
}

void setupWifiManager()
{
  WiFiManagerParameter custom_mqtt_server("server", "mqtt server", mqtt_server, 20);
  WiFiManagerParameter custom_mqtt_port("port", "mqtt port", mqtt_port, 10);
  WiFiManagerParameter custom_mqtt_user("user", "mqtt user", mqtt_user, 50);
  WiFiManagerParameter custom_mqtt_pass("pass", "mqtt pass", mqtt_pass, 50);

  //add all your parameters here
  wifiManager.addParameter(&custom_mqtt_server);
  wifiManager.addParameter(&custom_mqtt_port);

You will have to wait longer to reconnect since your ap is not up yet.. or add your own counter to retry.

wm does have a connectiontimeout and a retry count setting you can try increasing those.

esp is supposed to auto-reconnect in background, but it seems to be not working lately.

ideally you can just add your own check to keep reconnecting, and do not use autoconnect() or disable setEnableConfigPortal

@tablatronix Thank you. Do you possibly have an example?

If i pull the power from wifi i can see serial trying to connect but if i pull power from device and then power up again it will go straight to AP and not try reconnect which is annoying. I want to avoid the AP at all costs.

depending on if you want your sketch to continue without wifi, you might want to goto sleep or add your own timer in loop to retry every minute or so if not connected.

I have to test out why the esp automatic reconnect has not been working, I have noticed this as well for the last several versions, i have yet to test it or see if wm is breaking it

@tablatronix ive tried my own loop but doesnt seem to work. In South africa we have power out times. The whole house will be without electricity and when it comes back i want the ESP to just connect back again so i can get data into my home automation.

Its annoying if it sets up an AP.

Yes, its not great that it doesnt try last connected. It just boots into creating AP.

If you have alot of power failures I would suggest you do not use configportal at all, and provide a manual reset or ondemand cp start.. Or add a counter like tasmota does, after x restarts start ap etc.

you can also use bool getWiFiIsSaved(); if you want to allow for an initial setup

@jackkitley were you able to get this sorted for your application?

My device seems to deal with loadshedding without problems.

When the power comes back on it tries to connect to the known network.
If it fails to connect to the known network - i.e. the router isn't up yet, it reverts to AP mode and allows me to connect to it and search for networks.
If I don't connect to it, it times out after 30 seconds, restarts the ESP32 and tries to connect to the known network.
This loops until either the router comes up and it connects or I connect to a new network.

void setupNetwork() {
  //Connect to WiFi
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
  // wifiManager.resetSettings();
  wifiManager.setConfigPortalTimeout(30);
  if (!wifiManager.autoConnect(DEVICE_SSID, DEVICE_PASSWORD)){
    ESP.restart();
    delay(1000);
  };
}

@SboleWork Hi. Got it sorted.

If it fails to connect to the known network - i.e. the router isn't up yet, it reverts to AP mode and allows me to connect to it and search for networks. - this was my problem. the router didnt boot fast enough and the tries were only a handful before it reverted to AP mode which i didnt want.

Now it tries for a long time and eventually connects. I have a button which i use to revert back to AP mode.

I used the manager in my geyserwise project.

you just change the settings or add a wait loop in your code, the option is setconnecttimeout and numretries
