More news!
I’ve finally gotten a few more ESP32 modules to work with. This means I’ll be able to put some load testing on these devices, just in time for the holidays. I expect to be putting in some time next week to get things to be a little more stable.
Sadly, what my testing has revealed is that it’s unlikely to be possible to get a solid, stable build that will maintain a WiFi connection (complete with MQTT listeners) while at the same time running a BLE scan. I’m hopeful that this will not be a fatal problem, as I can ideally maintain an open MQTT session while allowing the WiFi to take a back seat to the BLE scan. However, it adds complexity, and I’m not a “real” developer in C/C++, so you’ll have to bear with me.
What does this mean for you?
Likely, nothing. I’m going to continue chipping away at the bugs, and hopefully they’ll behave a little better. I expect to have a new release ready within the first couple weeks of the new year.
