Hi. I'm trying to connect to WiFi with a Sonoff Basic. I'm finding that sometimes it will connect with no problems, but other times I keep getting the "auth_expire" message. Does anyone know what the message means?

This seems to be the only related piece of code in Espruino.

Thanks.

Do you have more than one access point with the same SSID?

No. Although I was thinking about settings that up... Would that be a problem?

Sometime there is a problem with the signal strength and using a antenna would help

Yes, because code for bssid is missing for now, check this issue

Doh. I tried searching online for this error message again, but this page now comes up as one of the top results. :facepalm:

Still getting the error quite often. Still no idea what it means.

Try to add a Wifi.disconnect() and than do Wfi.connect() when you get disconnected

I hadn't seen that page, but have have tried calling disconnect() inside the "disconnected" callback, and try to reconnect.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
