custom mqtt parameters.

[keerthikumaran]

Hi,
I am working with the custom parameters for mqtt credentials like the WiFi manger.
I need help in adding the MQTT SERVER, PORT, USER NAME AND PASSWORD as a autoconnect custom FS Parameters.
I have used the same code as given and the libraries too..

I'm assuming you are trying to add this to the IRMQTTServer example code. It just uses the standard WifiManager library.

Have you tried looking at the example code for WifiManager on how to do this?
e.g.
https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/blob/master/examples/AutoConnectWithFSParameters/AutoConnectWithFSParameters.ino

[keerthikumaran]

I added WIFIMANGER library code accordingly and the json file is not opening to write and save the parameters for the future usage. MQTT connects for the first time with the autoconnectFSparameters, and once when the nodemcu is reset the MQTT parameters are not assigned but the SSID and PASSWORD is read and the mcu gets connected to the wifi.

[crankyoldgit]

I'm not sure. Perhaps ask on the WifiManager issues page(s)?

As their example code uses SPIFFS, did you add a partition for it in the build/target options in the Arduino IDE?

[keerthikumaran]

Ok @crankyoldgit will ask WifiManager page.

Ya I added 1M SPIFFS. And I am clearing the memory every time I upload the code.
Thamks for your help.

[crankyoldgit]

Did you try the example code I linked earlier? i.e. Just to test you've got all the correct build settings.

Sadly, I don't personally have experience with saving stuff to the eeprom/flash on the ESP8266. But, please let me know what you find out, as I'm keen to add that functionality at some point.

I have tried the wifimanger code alone and it works fine when it comes to the integration part the json file is not opening to write the parameters in it.
I have attached the screenshot of the serial output screen.

Do you have a link to the code you are using?

[keerthikumaran]

no @crankyoldgit I dont have a link for my code.

[crankyoldgit]

Without code to test/debug, I can't really help you.

[keerthikumaran]

this is my code.

I figured out where I was wrong.
Thanks for your help.
