## [1.9.2] - 2026-01-06
|
||||
|
||||
### Fixed
|
||||
- **CRITICAL**: WiFi credentials no longer cleared on connection failure
|
||||
- Previous behavior erased SSID/password after failed connection attempts
|
||||
- Now credentials persist indefinitely through WiFi outages
|
||||
- OTA update credential loss issue (SDK credentials now tried first, then EEPROM)
|
||||
|
||||
### Added
|
||||
- **WiFi Resilience**: Infinite retry with exponential backoff (5s → 10s → 20s → ... → 5min max)
|
||||
- **Fallback AP**: "TJ56654-Setup" enabled after ~5 min of failed attempts
|
||||
- Device continues retry attempts while AP is active (dual STA+AP mode)
|
||||
- AP automatically disabled when WiFi reconnects
|
||||
- **"No WiFi" display**: Shows retry countdown instead of numeric counter
|
||||
- **"!" indicator**: Shown in date line when WiFi is disconnected
|
||||
- **SDK credentials support**: Tries WiFiManager-stored credentials first
|
||||
|
||||
### Changed
|
||||
- Clock continues running with last synced time during WiFi outages
|
||||
- Improved user experience during network failures
|
||||
- Removed aggressive credential clearing behavior
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Activity
|
||||
- NTP sync: 1 hour interval (pool.ntp.org:123 UDP)
|
||||
- Weather fetch: 30 min interval (api.open-meteo.com HTTP)
|
||||
- mDNS: continuous (224.0.0.251 UDP multicast)
|
||||
- ~50 requests/day total

### v1.9.2: WiFi Resilience (Current) 🛡️
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem Discovered:**
|
||||
|
||||
After WiFi outages, the device would **clear stored credentials** and enter AP mode, requiring manual reconfiguration every time the router restarted.
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause:**
|
||||
|
||||
Aggressive credential clearing on connection failure:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
if (wifiRetry.currentRetry >= wifiRetry.maxRetries) {
|
||||
memset(config.ssid, 0, sizeof(config.ssid)); // ❌ Clears credentials!
|
||||
memset(config.password, 0, sizeof(config.password));
|
||||
saveConfig();
|
||||
// Enter AP mode...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution: Resilient WiFi**
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Before (v1.9.1) | After (v1.9.2) |
|
||||
|---------|-----------------|----------------|
|
||||
| Credential clearing | After 5 failed attempts | Never |
|
||||
| Retry strategy | Give up after 5 tries | Infinite with backoff |
|
||||
| Max retry interval | N/A | 5 minutes |
|
||||
| Fallback AP | After clearing credentials | After ~5 min (dual STA+AP mode) |
|
||||
| Clock during outage | Blank display | Shows last synced time |
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Changes:**
|
||||
- **Never clear credentials** on connection failure
|
||||
- **Exponential backoff**: 5s → 10s → 20s → ... → 5min max
|
||||
- **Fallback AP** ("TJ56654-Setup") enabled after ~5 min, while still retrying
|
||||
- **Dual STA+AP mode**: Device continues reconnect attempts while AP is active
|
||||
- **SDK credentials support**: Tries WiFiManager-stored credentials first, then EEPROM
|
||||
- **"No WiFi" display**: Shows retry countdown instead of cryptic numbers
|
||||
- **"!" indicator**: Shown in date line when WiFi disconnected

# v1.9.1 - Hybrid Async Fix
|
||||
|
||||
## Проблема в v1.9.0
|
||||
## Problem in v1.9.0
|
||||
|
||||
**Симптомы:**
|
||||
- Дисплей показывает пустой экран ~10 секунд после загрузки
|
||||
- Ошибка "DNS resolution failed" в логах
|
||||
- Время появляется только через 10+ секунд
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
- Display shows blank screen ~10 seconds after boot
|
||||
- "DNS resolution failed" errors in logs
|
||||
- Time appears only after 10+ seconds
|
||||
|
||||
**Причина:**
|
||||
**Root Cause:**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
void setup() {
|
||||
loadConfig();
|
||||
setupWiFi(); // ← Возвращается СРАЗУ (async)
|
||||
setupOTA(); // ← WiFi НЕ готов! ✗
|
||||
setupWebServer(); // ← WiFi НЕ готов! ✗
|
||||
testInternetConnectivity(); // ← WiFi НЕ готов! → "DNS resolution failed"
|
||||
setupWiFi(); // Returns IMMEDIATELY (async)
|
||||
setupOTA(); // WiFi NOT ready!
|
||||
setupWebServer(); // WiFi NOT ready!
|
||||
testInternetConnectivity(); // WiFi NOT ready! -> "DNS resolution failed"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
WiFi стал **полностью асинхронным**, но это **неправильно для setup()**:
|
||||
- OTA, web server, NTP **требуют готовое WiFi соединение**
|
||||
- `testInternetConnectivity()` запускался **до подключения WiFi**
|
||||
- Время на дисплее появлялось только когда async WiFi наконец подключался
|
||||
WiFi became **fully asynchronous**, but this is **wrong for setup()**:
|
||||
- OTA, web server, NTP **require a ready WiFi connection**
|
||||
- `testInternetConnectivity()` ran **before WiFi connected**
|
||||
- Time on display appeared only when async WiFi finally connected
|
||||
|
||||
## Решение: Гибридная модель
|
||||
## Solution: Hybrid Model
|
||||
|
||||
| Фаза | WiFi режим | Блокировка | Причина |
|
||||
|------|------------|------------|---------|
|
||||
| **setup()** | **Синхронный** | 10 сек | Нужен для инициализации OTA/web/NTP |
|
||||
| **loop()** | **Асинхронный** | 0 сек | Не замораживать при reconnect |
|
||||
| Phase | WiFi Mode | Blocking | Reason |
|
||||
|-------|-----------|----------|--------|
|
||||
| **setup()** | **Synchronous** | 10 sec | Required for OTA/web/NTP initialization |
|
||||
| **loop()** | **Asynchronous** | 0 sec | Don't freeze on reconnect |

## Преимущества гибридного подхода
|
||||
## Benefits of Hybrid Approach
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ В setup():
|
||||
1. **Правильный порядок инициализации** - WiFi → OTA → web → NTP
|
||||
2. **Нет ошибок DNS** - internet connectivity test запускается ПОСЛЕ WiFi
|
||||
3. **Предсказуемое поведение** - setup() завершается когда всё готово
|
||||
4. **Дисплей показывает время сразу** - не нужно ждать async WiFi
|
||||
### In setup():
|
||||
1. **Correct initialization order** - WiFi -> OTA -> web -> NTP
|
||||
2. **No DNS errors** - internet connectivity test runs AFTER WiFi
|
||||
3. **Predictable behavior** - setup() completes when everything is ready
|
||||
4. **Display shows time immediately** - no need to wait for async WiFi
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ В loop():
|
||||
1. **Не зависает при reconnect** - async обработка потери WiFi
|
||||
2. **Async NTP** - не блокирует loop
|
||||
3. **Async weather** - не блокирует loop
|
||||
4. **Exponential backoff** - умные retry при ошибках
|
||||
5. **Loop <1ms** - всегда отзывчивое устройство
|
||||
### In loop():
|
||||
1. **No freeze on reconnect** - async handling of WiFi loss
|
||||
2. **Async NTP** - doesn't block loop
|
||||
3. **Async weather** - doesn't block loop
|
||||
4. **Exponential backoff** - smart retry on errors
|
||||
5. **Loop <1ms** - always responsive device

# v1.9.2 - WiFi Resilience
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem in v1.9.1
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms:**
|
||||
- After WiFi outage (router restart, temporary network issues), device enters AP mode
|
||||
- WiFi credentials are cleared, requiring manual reconfiguration
|
||||
- User must reconnect to "TJ56654-Setup" AP and re-enter WiFi password
|
||||
- This happens every time WiFi goes down temporarily
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause:**
|
||||
|
||||
Aggressive credential clearing after connection failures:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
void processWiFiConnection() {
|
||||
// After 5 failed attempts...
|
||||
if (wifiRetry.currentRetry >= wifiRetry.maxRetries) {
|
||||
// Clear credentials!
|
||||
memset(config.ssid, 0, sizeof(config.ssid));
|
||||
memset(config.password, 0, sizeof(config.password));
|
||||
saveConfig();
|
||||
|
||||
// Start AP mode for reconfiguration
|
||||
WiFiManager wm;
|
||||
wm.startConfigPortal("TJ56654-Setup", "12345678");
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:**
|
||||
- Poor user experience during network outages
|
||||
- Unnecessary manual intervention required
|
||||
- Device unusable until reconfigured
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution: Resilient WiFi
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Changes
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Before (v1.9.1) | After (v1.9.2) |
|
||||
|---------|-----------------|----------------|
|
||||
| Credential clearing | After 5 failed attempts | Never |
|
||||
| Retry strategy | Give up after 5 tries | Infinite retries |
|
||||
| Retry interval | Fixed 5 seconds | Exponential backoff (5s-5min) |
|
||||
| Fallback AP | After clearing credentials | After ~5 min (keeps credentials) |
|
||||
| Clock during outage | Shows connection counter | Shows last synced time |
|
||||
| User notification | Numeric counter | "No WiFi" message |
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. WiFi Retry Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Infinite retries with exponential backoff
|
||||
struct WiFiRetryConfig {
|
||||
uint8_t currentRetry = 0;
|
||||
unsigned long nextRetryTime = 0;
|
||||
static const unsigned long MAX_BACKOFF_MS = 300000; // Max 5 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
unsigned long getBackoffDelay() {
|
||||
// 5s, 10s, 20s, 40s, 80s, 160s, 300s (max)
|
||||
unsigned long delay = 5000UL * (1UL << currentRetry);
|
||||
return (delay > MAX_BACKOFF_MS) ? MAX_BACKOFF_MS : delay;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
void recordAttempt() {
|
||||
currentRetry++;
|
||||
nextRetryTime = millis() + getBackoffDelay();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
void reset() {
|
||||
currentRetry = 0;
|
||||
nextRetryTime = 0;
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. No Credential Clearing
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
void processWiFiConnection() {
|
||||
if (WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED) {
|
||||
if (wifiConnState != WIFI_CONN_CONNECTED) {
|
||||
Serial.println("WiFi connected!");
|
||||
wifiConnState = WIFI_CONN_CONNECTED;
|
||||
wifiRetry.reset();
|
||||
|
||||
// Disable fallback AP if it was enabled
|
||||
if (WiFi.getMode() == WIFI_AP_STA) {
|
||||
Serial.println("Disabling fallback AP");
|
||||
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Connection failed - but DON'T clear credentials!
|
||||
if (millis() >= wifiRetry.nextRetryTime) {
|
||||
Serial.printf("WiFi retry %d, next in %lu sec\n",
|
||||
wifiRetry.currentRetry,
|
||||
wifiRetry.getBackoffDelay() / 1000);
|
||||
|
||||
wifiRetry.recordAttempt();
|
||||
|
||||
// Try to connect with SDK or EEPROM credentials
|
||||
if (strlen(config.password) > 0) {
|
||||
WiFi.begin(config.ssid, config.password);
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
WiFi.begin(); // Use SDK-stored credentials
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Enable fallback AP after 5+ attempts (~2.5 min)
|
||||
if (wifiRetry.currentRetry >= 5 && WiFi.getMode() != WIFI_AP_STA) {
|
||||
Serial.println("Enabling fallback AP (dual mode)");
|
||||
WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP_STA);
|
||||
WiFi.softAP("TJ56654-Setup", "12345678");
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. "No WiFi" Display
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
void ICACHE_FLASH_ATTR showNoWiFi(unsigned long nextRetrySeconds) {
|
||||
display.clearDisplay();
|
||||
display.setTextSize(2);
|
||||
display.setTextColor(SSD1306_WHITE);
|
||||
|
||||
// Center "No WiFi" text
|
||||
display.setCursor(20, 8);
|
||||
display.println("No WiFi");
|
||||
|
||||
// Show retry countdown
|
||||
display.setTextSize(1);
|
||||
display.setCursor(10, 52);
|
||||
if (nextRetrySeconds < 60) {
|
||||
display.printf("Retry in %lu sec", nextRetrySeconds);
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
display.printf("Retry in %lu min", nextRetrySeconds / 60);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
display.display();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. Clock Continues During Outage
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
void updateDisplay() {
|
||||
if (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
|
||||
// Show "No WiFi" status
|
||||
unsigned long nextRetry = (wifiRetry.nextRetryTime > millis())
|
||||
? (wifiRetry.nextRetryTime - millis()) / 1000
|
||||
: 0;
|
||||
showNoWiFi(nextRetry);
|
||||
return;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Normal display modes when WiFi is connected
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. WiFi Disconnect Indicator
|
||||
|
||||
When WiFi is disconnected but time is still valid, show "!" in date line:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
void showTimeMode() {
|
||||
// ... time display ...
|
||||
|
||||
// Date line with WiFi status indicator
|
||||
display.setCursor(0, 0);
|
||||
if (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
|
||||
display.print("! "); // WiFi disconnected indicator
|
||||
}
|
||||
display.print(dateString);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 6. SDK Credentials Support
|
||||
|
||||
WiFiManager stores credentials in ESP SDK flash, not EEPROM. This caused issues after OTA updates:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
void setupWiFi() {
|
||||
// Try SDK-stored credentials first (from WiFiManager)
|
||||
if (strlen(config.password) > 0) {
|
||||
// EEPROM has credentials - use them
|
||||
WiFi.begin(config.ssid, config.password);
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// EEPROM empty - try SDK credentials
|
||||
WiFi.begin(); // Uses last saved WiFi from SDK
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Retry Backoff Schedule
|
||||
|
||||
| Attempt | Delay | Cumulative Time |
|
||||
|---------|-------|-----------------|
|
||||
| 1 | 5 sec | 5 sec |
|
||||
| 2 | 10 sec | 15 sec |
|
||||
| 3 | 20 sec | 35 sec |
|
||||
| 4 | 40 sec | 1 min 15 sec |
|
||||
| 5 | 80 sec | 2 min 35 sec |
|
||||
| 6 | 160 sec | 5 min 15 sec |
|
||||
| 7+ | 300 sec (5 min) | +5 min each |
|
||||
|
||||
**Fallback AP enabled after attempt 5** (~2.5 min of failures)
|
||||
|
||||
## Network Activity Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Service | Interval | Endpoint | Protocol | Daily Requests |
|
||||
|---------|----------|----------|----------|----------------|
|
||||
| NTP | 1 hour | pool.ntp.org:123 | UDP | 24 |
|
||||
| Weather | 30 min | api.open-meteo.com | HTTP | 48 |
|
||||
| mDNS | continuous | 224.0.0.251 | UDP multicast | N/A |
|
||||
|
||||
**Total**: ~50-75 requests/day (minimal network load)
|
||||
|
||||
## Dual STA+AP Mode
|
||||
|
||||
When fallback AP is enabled, device operates in dual mode:
|
||||
- **STA (Station)**: Continues trying to connect to configured WiFi
|
||||
- **AP (Access Point)**: Allows user to reconfigure if needed
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Enable dual mode
|
||||
WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP_STA);
|
||||
WiFi.softAP("TJ56654-Setup", "12345678");
|
||||
|
||||
// Continue WiFi connection attempts in STA mode
|
||||
WiFi.begin(config.ssid, config.password);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When WiFi reconnects:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
if (WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED && WiFi.getMode() == WIFI_AP_STA) {
|
||||
// Disable AP, return to STA-only mode
|
||||
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
|
||||
Serial.println("WiFi reconnected, disabled fallback AP");
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Test Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 1: Router Restart (5 minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
**Before (v1.9.1):**
|
||||
1. WiFi disconnects
|
||||
2. 5 retry attempts (25 seconds)
|
||||
3. Credentials cleared
|
||||
4. Device enters AP mode
|
||||
5. User must reconfigure WiFi
|
||||
|
||||
**After (v1.9.2):**
|
||||
1. WiFi disconnects
|
||||
2. Retry with backoff (5s, 10s, 20s, 40s, 80s)
|
||||
3. After ~2.5 min: Fallback AP enabled (dual mode)
|
||||
4. Device continues retrying
|
||||
5. Router comes back
|
||||
6. Device reconnects automatically
|
||||
7. Fallback AP disabled
|
||||
8. No user intervention needed
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 2: Extended Outage (30+ minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
**v1.9.2 Behavior:**
|
||||
1. Retries every 5 minutes after initial backoff
|
||||
2. Fallback AP available for reconfiguration if needed
|
||||
3. Clock shows last synced time
|
||||
4. "No WiFi" indicator on display
|
||||
5. Reconnects automatically when WiFi returns
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 3: OTA Update
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: WiFiManager stores credentials in SDK flash, but our EEPROM may be empty after update.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Try SDK credentials first:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
if (strlen(config.password) > 0) {
|
||||
WiFi.begin(config.ssid, config.password);
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
WiFi.begin(); // SDK credentials
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Memory Impact
|
||||
|
||||
| Resource | v1.9.1 | v1.9.2 | Change |
|
||||
|----------|--------|--------|--------|
|
||||
| RAM | 37,644 | 37,800 | +156 bytes |
|
||||
| IRAM | 61,987 | 61,987 | 0 bytes |
|
||||
| Flash | 408,844 | 409,100 | +256 bytes |
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal memory increase (+0.4%) for significant UX improvement.
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
**v1.9.2 provides true WiFi resilience:**
|
||||
- Never clears credentials
|
||||
- Infinite retries with smart backoff
|
||||
- Fallback AP for emergency reconfiguration
|
||||
- Clock continues during outages
|
||||
- Clear user feedback on display
|
||||
|
||||
**Results:**
|
||||
- No more manual reconfiguration after WiFi outages
|
||||
- Device recovers automatically when network returns
|
||||
- User can still reconfigure via fallback AP if needed
|
||||
- Minimal network overhead (~50 requests/day)
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: Production ready
