usermods/Fix_unreachable_netservices_v2/readme.md
Attention: This usermod compiles only for ESP8266
This usermod-v2 modification performs a ping request to a local IP address every 60 seconds. This ensures WLED net services remain accessible in some problematic WiFi environments.
The modification works with static or DHCP IP address configuration.
Story:
Unfortunately, with many ESP projects where a web server or other network services are running, after some time, the connecton to the web server is lost. The connection can be reestablished with a ping request from the device.
With this modification, in the worst case, the network functions are not available until the next ping request. (60 seconds)
The number of pings and reconnects is displayed on the info page in the web interface. The ping delay can be changed. Changes persist after a reboot.
The usermod supports the following state changes:
| JSON key | Value range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PingDelayMs | 5000 to 18000000 | Deactivate/activate the sensor |
Changes also persist after a reboot.
