Stops after 2 days

[fmarzocca]

I have an esp8266 installed as an unmanned warning system, but afetr 2 days it stopped receiving messages from the bot. Other functions in the device are still workign (i.e. webserver), but it is not receiving any messages from the bot. I had to restart the device. If this is the normal behaviour, it is not reliable for a warning system.

This is my loop function (Bot_mtbs is 1000):

  if (millis() > Bot_lasttime + Bot_mtbs)  {
    int numNewMessages = bot.getUpdates(bot.last_message_received + 1);
    while (numNewMessages) {
      handleNewMessages(numNewMessages);
      numNewMessages = bot.getUpdates(bot.last_message_received + 1);
    }
    Bot_lasttime = millis();

I have the same problem. Some time ago everything worked fine.
Esp8266 lib v2.6.3

Скорее всего менялось api телеграмма.
Поставил версию ядра esp 2.5.0
А в setup добавил
client.setInsecure();

Они должны сохранять обратную совместимость. По этому не соглашусь по поводу api.
А на счет esp возможно, эта проблема появилась после перехода на версию 2.6.3. До этого была 2.4.2 и все стабильно работало.

Что бы не менять версию esp, можно делать перезагрузку каждые 24 часа, к примеру)

У меня бот перестал отвечать сам, без перехода на обновленную версию прошивки((
Поэтому тут же на форуме нашел такое решение.
Да должна быть обратная совместимость.
Перезагрузка можно прописать, но у меня на последней версии отказывается работать (

#define ONLINE_TIME 86400000 // 24 hours

void loop() {
  if (millis() > ONLINE_TIME) ESP.restart();
}

Такой код работает корректно на версии 2.6.3

@burdeyniyua на версии 2.5.0 нет проблемы, которая здесь описывается?

Can you pls write in english? Otherwise I will start writing in italian...

[fmarzocca]

I am using 2.6.3 in board manager.

Downgrade your version of esp to 2.5.0 and watching for a few days. Report your result.
Or try to use my code above.

Thanks for answering. I will see what to do. The device is for a warning system so I will be reluctant to restart it every day... Any chance to have the library updated to new FW version?

(BTW: I am quite confused about the difference between ESP.reset() and ESP.restart() )

the difference between ESP.reset() and ESP.restart()

Thanks! It seems that ESP.restart() is more safe than ESp.reset() - Sent from my mobile phone. Sorry for typos - Il Ven 21 Feb 2020, 18:17 Vladyslav <notifications@github.com> ha scritto:

@EcstasyAwesome , do you know why with certain APs (RSSI: 58%), the device response is very slow (almost 1 minute from the telegram command)?

[EcstasyAwesome]

@fmarzocca, my current device is working stable with the signal less than yours. Maybe the problem is in a code or an access point. I can say you no more without your code.
Did you resolve the previous problem?

[fmarzocca]

I have installed the sketch with ESP FW 2.5.0, and it is still working after 2 days. Let's see incoming days.
But I have this weird problem with an AP (it is an extender). I need a signal >75% to have telegramBot working. With lower signals other functionas are still working (i.e.: webserver, OTA) but not telegram.
My telegram code is quite straightforward (it is in my first post here).

Try to reconfigure a wifi AP and a repeater with the following settings:

• mode 2.4GHz (better stability at long ranges as I know)
• experiment with the channel selection or use "Auto"
• set the channel width to 20 MHz (the performance tradeoffs from interference)
