Shinewifi-X wifi working, but no webserver found about openinvertergateway HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi. Just flashed my wifi stick for first time as well, but managed to recreate your problem because my MQTT server requires authentication, and so the line
if (MqttClient.connect("Growatt", MQTT_TOPIC, 1, 1, "{"Status": "Disconnected" }"))
needed to be replaced with
if (MqttClient.connect("Growatt", "mqttusernm", "mqttpassword", MQTT_TOPIC, 1, 1, "{"Status": "Disconnected" }"))
At which point once compiled the web server springs into life. (obvious mqttusernm and mqttpassword would be whatever your user/pass are set to in MQTT. Hope that's the same as your issue and it fixes it. Please say if it does. Obviously I would suggest that long term a variable should be used and put in a nicer place in the file.

hi @JonEllis1234
you kicked me into the right direction. Until today I didnt realize, that a running mqtt-server is necessary for this to run. I had in mind to just grep the necessary information by the built-in json-frontend. Fortunately my whole setup @ home is built up in node-red so it was not a real task to get a mqtt-server running. And see, the website is coming right up after mqttserver says "one client connected". Thanks for your help!

BTW, I first tried to get mqtt out of the way by setting MQTT_SUPPORTED to 0, but it seems this variable is not honored, as the sketch is throwing variuos errors concerning the mqtt-packetsize and so on. Commenting out was also not really successful, so setting up the mqtt-server was the better way :)

Thx again, smooth thing here
