Hi everyone,
What is the proper way to reconnect to WiFi?
Let's say I've connected to my router, then the router is restarted. How should I handle this from within the ESP32?
Thanks, Antony

Re: The Proper Way to Reconnect to WiFi?
Hello Antony
I have unreliable WiFi and esp32 (and esp8266) based devices. They use MQTT to send their data to a server.
What I wanted to avoid is, that the device hangs or even crashes, when it looses the MQTT connection or even completely loose WiFi.
I wrote a code framework, where in the main loop there are three section.
In the first section, there is the code for the setup of the connections
In the second section, this is only executed, if WiFi and MQTT are up and running
In the third section, this is always executed, regardless of WiFi or MQTT status
Please have a look. Maybe you can use the concept for your own code.
Kind regards,
Urs.

Code: Select all
/* standalone device with MQTT function
*
* The requirements are as follows:
* - it should run its main tasks regardless of the availability of WiFi/MQTT
* - it should recover lost WiFi/MQTT without interrupting the main tasks
* - unless other examples on the net it does not start the WiFi/MQTT connection in the setup() section
* since the device should start with its main functions immediately and do the connection setup later
*
* Other features
* - OTA over WiFi using the Arduino IDE
* - MQTT over TLS for encrypted data transfer
* - configuration parameters for device name, SSID, WAP-PW, MQTT broker username and password are stored in Preferences
*
* Feedback to improve this code is welcome

Re: The Proper Way to Reconnect to WiFi?
This is a very sound algorithm. I successfully converted it to using PubSubClient and it works well there as well.
Re: The Proper Way to Reconnect to WiFi?
Would you mind sharing your converted code for pubsubclient? I'm new to this and using also pubsubclient.

Re: The Proper Way to Reconnect to WiFi?
I use the MQTT keep alive to detect a lack of network connection with MQTT.
Detecting the status of the MQTT client (wifiClient.connected()) was the trick that worked for me.
The connectToWiFi(); called, if client is disconnected, will not try a WiFi reconnect if the WiFi is still connected by checking the status of connection with if ( WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED ). I found that if the issue is not a WiFi connection, just blindly trying to reconnect to the WiFi causes issues.
Most of the disconnect errors I get is error 128, which only needs a MQTT reconnect. I found running the MQTT keep alive loop faster then 10mS, also, produces errors. I found a good range for MQTT keep alive is between 10 and 20 mS.

void loop() { }The connectToWiFi(); called, if client is disconnected, will not try a WiFi reconnect if the WiFi is still connected by checking the status of connection with if ( WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED ). I found that if the issue is not a WiFi connection, just blindly trying to reconnect to the WiFi causes issues.
Most of the disconnect errors I get is error 128, which only needs a MQTT reconnect. I found running the MQTT keep alive loop faster then 10mS, also, produces errors. I found a good range for MQTT keep alive is between 10 and 20 mS.

Re: The Proper Way to Reconnect to WiFi?
This is a response to Urs' contribution,
I have thankfully used Urs' idea as published on https://esp32.com/viewtopic.php?t=3851 and made some modifications as below.
I could not find a source for <WiFiUdp.h> and that may have been the reason for some errors, -not sure about that- but initially I could not get things running on a Raspberry3.
I use ESP32 for
Reason for using esp32 here: the lights do not disclose their status after sending a pulse.
To be able to receive the status I included <PubSubClient.h> in the sketch for ESP32.
I encountered several C++ variable-problems with the switch structure when compiling, so I changed it to <if{ } else if{}>. It is almost the same structure.
I encountered further errors when trying to do OTA as in Urs' example, so I changed my sketch to the web-version. I used the code of the example-file in Arduino-IDE, that worked out of the box. I just had to modify the html-dimensions, that was all.
My MQTT Broker is an intern instance on the forementioned Raspberry. Every information stays in the network, no reason to use a third-party broker. But btw I also can access the Raspberry over internet using true.ddns (a free ddns-service of True Thailand, it requires port-forwarding, works like a charm). DDNS is in use by a second raspberry which is securing a well with PIR & camera on our remote farmland. The code is almost the same (replace the broker address with the ddns.address and change the portnumber) so I did not add the pertinent files here.
To switch the lights on or off, I use the sum of status daylight and status optocoupler. In my case this sum should be 1. Either in the night 0 +1 or 1 +0 during the day. The ESP32 checks daylight in every cycle.
In conn_stat 5 there is a 30000 ms routine for publishing. As soon as the daylight changes the cycletime is temporarily set to 1 sec and is being reset to 30000 as soon as the reaction has been concluded by the change of the optocoupler-signal.
I found that sending two payloads in one message is better than two individual messages to the broker. Especially if both values are required for one and the same action this simplfies the python-code.
On that raspberry a python script reacts on status-changes. That is a developing story; attached please find the last python status
A third Raspberry is combined. This Raspberry (B) was set up years earlier to control the outdoor light in the garden and it works flawlessly, so it was more than logical to integrate it by publishing its status via MQTT.
The ESP's are powered with 3.3V miniature adapters. The outputs of ESP are not powerful enough to control solid-state relays (switching off the 5.5 kW water-heater and the laundry-machine), so for the bathroom the ESP output is connected to a relay.
I hope this is helpful to somebody. I am a tech-freak, was involved inrobotics before retirement, but I am not a professional, happy to receive comments.

THE SKETCH
PYTHON
I have thankfully used Urs' idea as published on https://esp32.com/viewtopic.php?t=3851 and made some modifications as below.
I could not find a source for <WiFiUdp.h> and that may have been the reason for some errors, -not sure about that- but initially I could not get things running on a Raspberry3.
I use ESP32 for
- controlling water level in a 1000 L tank
- switching off some units when the house is battery/inverter-powered, and for
- auto-switching outdoor lights.
Reason for using esp32 here: the lights do not disclose their status after sending a pulse.
To be able to receive the status I included <PubSubClient.h> in the sketch for ESP32.

THE SKETCH
Code: Select all
#include <WiFi.h> // Enables the ESP32 to connect to the local network (via WiFi)
#include <WiFiClient.h> //
#include <WebServer.h>
#include <ESPmDNS.h>
#include <Update.h>

/* standalone device with MQTT function
found on https://esp32.com/viewtopic.php?t=3851
The requirements are as follows:
- it should run its main tasks regardless of the availability of WiFi/MQTT
- it should recover lost WiFi/MQTT without interrupting the main tasks
- unless other examples on the net it does not start the WiFi/MQTT connection in the setup() section
since the device should start with its main functions immediately and do the connection setup later

Re: The Proper Way to Reconnect to WiFi?
Hello, nice concept. I implemented it for PubSubClient. One question;urs_eppenberger wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2017 5:02 pm
I wrote a code framework, where in the main loop there are three section.
In the first section, there is the code for the setup of the connections
In the second section, this is only executed, if WiFi and MQTT are up and running
In the third section, this is always executed, regardless of WiFi or MQTT status
Please have a look. Maybe you can use the concept for your own code.
To reconnect to wifi, you use WiFi.begin() again. Seems to be working, however I also found information on the net about reconnection should be automatically. That is, the WiFi lib is handling that already. Anyone knows the details / pros and cons?
Besides that, are there any downsides on check WiFi.status() every loop() cycle? Some examples introduce delays for this.
