Hello,
Thanks to your very clear tutorials, I’ve been able to create several projects with ESP8266 and/or ESP32, which work perfectly. The only problem I encounter is that when the WiFi goes out, I have to turn the ESP power ON/OFF, because otherwise the sensors remain silent!
Is there a solution to prevent this?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Bruno

Hello,
Thank you for another excellent tutorial, they are really helpful. I have ESP-NOW working but I haven’t found any recent code for getting RSSI to work. There are older examples from 3 or 4 years ago but I found that Espresif has updated their code/files to allow the extraction of RSSI. Do you have any examples of how to get RSSI using ESP-NOW? Thank you so much for any assistance you may offer. I am using a transmitter, receiver and WiFi link, all ESP8266. regards, Paul

Hi.
I’m not sure, but I think it’s a problem with the Wemos D1 mini boards.
Many of our readers complain about ESP-NOW when using those boards.

Hi, i have try your project on 3 types esp8266 board,
they are nodemcu 8266 (in your example), wemos D1 R2 & Wemos D1 Mini.
but for 3 types of board i have some problem, if the slaves range > 1 meter it will fail to send.
in your tutorial wrote the range up tp 140m, but mine can’t.
FYI, i have 3pcs of each types, and already change each board type which the broadcaster and receiver and still have same result.
what is i’m wrong? my code is the same as yours.
when i’m googling, i found : esp32.com/viewtopic.php?t=33291
// Set Long Range Mode
esp_wifi_set_protocol( WIFI_IF_STA , WIFI_PROTOCOL_LR);
but its only for esp32? cant implement into esp8266?
please advice…

In reply to terry. After days of testing. Turns out a brand name commercial home automation power controller had gone faulty and was blocking channel one. Was sending a carrier wave. All is working again.
