You need to know the Default Gateway address of the network that you want to connect to if you use this message.

In my case it was 192.168.20.1 so when it connected to the WiFi, the next step to enter the 192.168.1.200 didn’t work. It just hung and the browser timed out looking for it.

Run IPCONFIG from a command prompt and look at what your default gateway is. Use that address in the default gateway field.

Change the IP address you want the NodeMCU to appear at after you connect it to the SSID to match eg. 192.168.20.200 in my case.

Make sure your subnet mask in the code matches the subnet mask in IPCONFIG.

Then you might get somewhere when you connect. Mine is working now.

All I have to do now is work out how to find the default gateway and subnet mask of an iPhone hotspot and whether they are the same for all iPhones. Otherwise when I’m out of the development environment here in my shed, and trying to use this on a hotspot it’s going to fail too.

Wasted a lot of time finding this solution which really should have been covered in the article above.

Hope this helps someone else.

I’ve tried connecting to both my iPhone hotspot & router in my shed and both connect just fine. LittleFS appears to have uploaded the the package from the tools folder created during this tutorial just fine.

LittleFS has thrown a few access denied errors trying to write to COM port however these clear if you disconnect, reconnect the usb & try again.

So I’m a bit lost how to diagnose. Is there a way of reading the content of the flash memory to see that the index.html file is there?

I realise this is to 63 not 200 and I’d changed that in a futile attempt to see if I had a printer or something with a fixed address that clashed.

Message on web browser attempting to access – This site can’t be reached192.168.1.63 took too long to respond.

Hi Manfred, I had the same issue you describe, please connect the esp8266 to the USB without cables and make sure has enough power supply, restarting loop means not enough power.

WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
//localIP.fromString(ip.c_str());
//localGateway.fromString(gateway.c_str());
//if (!WiFi.config(localIP, localGateway, subnet)){
//Serial.println(“STA не удалось настроить”);
//return false;
//}
WiFi.begin(ssid.c_str(), pass.c_str());

Serial.println(“подключение к WiFi…”);
delay(20000);

I send a dynamic ID to the telegram bot and go to the WEB page from the telegram.

Hi.
Can you provide more details?
Do you get any errors? What exactly happens?
I never tried using both at the same time, but in theory, it should work. Maybe you need some adjustments in your code.

Thanks. The question is, how do I launch telegram bot using a Wi-Fi manager (AsyncWebServer library)?
The WiFi manager from this article works great for me, the telegram bot also works separately, but they don work together. What needs to be changed in the code to make bat work?

Hi.
We have several tutorials with Telegram bots: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/?s=telegram
