Listening to websocket messages

Postby FrameXX » Sun Dec 17, 2023 12:22 pm

Hi there! I am trying to connect my ESP8266 to listen to ntfy websocket. I am using this library (https://github.com/gilmaimon/ArduinoWebsockets) which should work with the ESP8266. In their example they have this line of code. client.connect(websockets_server); where websocket server is "www.myserver.com:8080". I am using ntfy.sh/mytopic/ws as the url, but the connect method returns false => connection failed. Maybe I am using wrong url format or it's someting else? Can someone help? I know this is not an arduino community, but I have tried and searched for hours using different libraries, solutions and I can't get it working. I even tryed the HTTP stream method. I only got sending messages from the ESP to ntfy server. I could poll for the messages in intervals, but that's much less efficient. Here's the code I am using. I removed the Wi-Fi SSID and password for privacy.
  1. #include <Arduino.h>
  2. #include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
  3. #include <ArduinoWebsockets.h>
  4.  
  5. const char* ssid = "SSID";
  6. const char* password = "PASS";
  7.  
  8. const char* host = "ntfy.sh";
  9. const char* websocketServer = "ntfy.sh/esp8266/ws";
  10. const char* requestPath = "/esp8266";
  11.  
  12. using namespace websockets;
  13.  
  14. WiFiClientSecure WLClient;
  15. WebsocketsClient WSClient;
  16.  
  17. void setupWLClient() {
  18.   Serial.println("Setting up WLClient");
  19.   WLClient.setInsecure();  // For self-signed certificates
  20. }
  21.  
  22. void setupWSClient() {
  23.   Serial.println("Setting up WSClient");
  24.   WSClient.setInsecure(); // For self-signed certificates
  25.  
  26.   // Setup Callbacks
  27.   WSClient.onMessage(onMessageCallback);
  28.   WSClient.onEvent(onEventsCallback);
  29.  
  30.   // Connect to server
  31.   bool connected =  WSClient.connect(websocketServer);
  32.   if (!connected) {
  33.     Serial.println("Failed to connect to websocket");
  34.     return;
  35.   }

  58.   Serial.println("Connecting to ");
  59.   Serial.print(ssid);
  60.   Serial.println("");
  61.  
  62.   WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  63.  
  64.   while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
