Wifi Client mode >> Wifi AP mode >> Wifi Client mode about esp-wifi-config HOT 6 CLOSED

Implemented new WiFi state monitoring. Should automatically reconnect to known WiFi, exposing reconfiguration interface in meantime.

Yeah, that make sense, I will look into it.

from esp-wifi-config.

In some specific circumstances the ESP stops trying to reconnect and the code leads it to AP mode.
It is usually after power outage. (Or also if a network AP repeater is involved and the router is restarted.) The router is not as fast as the ESP at startup. During the "no network" period it goes very fast to AP mode.

While I was trying to understand the mechanism of WiFi-config, I suspected that the real issue is behind the sdk wifi station auto connect function.
But there must be a good solution.

Actually I found out that the auto connect function is still running in the background, and the ESP goes to AP mode.
When the router is ready and the WiFi is available the ESP is getting connected and in the same time still shows in AP mode and the HomeKit server is not started.

Hi, my proposed solution:

In wifi_config.c remove the call to sdk_os_timer_disarm in line 620

By calling timer disarm the function wifi_config_sta_connect_timeout_callback is not called again. By removing the call to timer_disarm the function will be called periodically to check if the client connection has been made while the ap mode was on. Once the WiFi client connection to the configured network has been made the ap mode is stopped and the on_wifi_ready() callback is called

Many thanks!!!!!
