[Solved] MQTT ESP8266 Gateway 1.6

Re: MQTT Broker support in MySensors 1.6

I running ver 1.6 from 19 Jan 2016 version with a RFM69 radio, all work well for a few hours, then it appears that the gateway stops communication with the broker, looks like the MQTT task and the WiFi task are no longer communication.

I can still PING the gateway, so the WiFi stack is running......

From debug port...

Also, I noted that the WiFi stack is still acting as an access point. Is there a way to turn off just the access point??

Thanks

I've done some more testing, It stop working in 3 to 4 hours, very consistent over the last 24 hrs. I have changes ESP8266, same issue, ESP code is ver 2.0..

It also appears that the code may not be trying to close, open the WiFi connection when there is a network error...

Anyone have any ideas??

This has been fixed.... It was an error on my part, I had a unlisted device with the same IP address as the GW... it was a pain to find this as GW would work for 3 to 4 hours.

I have tested removing access point and GW re covers
I remove MWTT broker and GW recovers
