esp8266_artnet_dmx512: Device loses StandAlone configuration about arduino HOT 2 CLOSED

This seems a generic wifi issue and not specific to artnet or dmx512.

I suspect this has to do with poor wifi reception. Note that the onboard antenna of the esp8266 is not so great. I have this issue as well with some of my tasmota switches that are relatively far away from my access point and/or behind metal objects that interfere with the radio signal. However, with the tasmota firmware the esp8266 firmware only opens up as a (configurable) "ESP-xxxxxx" access point for a few minutes, then it switches off again.

You may want to check with https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager whether there is an option to limit the duration of the over-the-air-configuration. And/or place it closer to your normal wifi access point.

Good luck,

Hello,

I am using an external Antenna and wifi connection to the router is quite good.
The Node is working fine while connected to the router and still displaying the "ESP-xxxxxx" Network.

My issue is not, that he is still displaying his own standalone access point. It's rather, that he loses his standalone wifi settings. At the first time he opens up a Wifi Network with e.g. name: "Test", IP 192.168.1.1 and a password. It doesn't take long after I connected it to my wlan router, that he forgets his own standalone settings and will offer me a Network with name "ESP-xxxxxx" and IP 192.168.1.1 with no password settings.

I don't think that this is about poor wifi reception. Then it would display me my setted up Network "Test".

Any ideas, or still WifiManager?

Thank you very much!
