im still confused… and for sure… my wifi is not named ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ. but that´s what is displayed on serial monitor

edit:
and bootloader says:

 ets Jan  8 2013,rst cause:2, boot mode:(3,6)

When there is some previous ‘garbage’ on that EEPROM address , it read that. Once you enter your own credentials in the wifi,html page it will overwite in EEPROM.
I’m absolutely flabbergasted how it can connect to your wifi? Did you enter your wifi settings somewhere in the sketch yourself?

nope… there is no information about my wifi in the sketch…
im also flabbergasted (nice word… never heard of it )

i did enter my wifi config at lines 112 and 113 yesterday… and tried to compile… but as i told on github… i never got it to compile…

before the first compile worked today, i was replacing the lines 112 and 113 with originals last night…

maybe it´s garbage from aborted compiling processes last night?

Lines 112 and 113 are for the softAP.
When you go to wifi.html , do you see your own wifi info overthere ?

@koffienl I had the same situation detected as demlak.

What situation ? The ESP being available in your network without wifi credentials ?

screenshot:

So you never entered your wifi credentials but still it was able to connect to your network?
Edit : that strange characters you see is indeed garbage read from EEPROM. You can easily overwrite from the wifi.html page.

Concerning the usage of ESP8266-01 with 512kb. You can change the split of the 512k Flash. In standard arduino setup there are configs for no SPIFF and for 64k SPIFF. I added another config with 359k for sketch and 128k for SPIFF and then I could load all necessary files excluding ledmatrix and firmware which makes no sense for this small device with less GPIOs and memory.

In boards.txt added:

generic.menu.FlashSize.512K128=512K (128K SPIFFS)
generic.menu.FlashSize.512K128.build.flash_size=512K
generic.menu.FlashSize.512K128.build.flash_ld=eagle.flash.512K128.ld
generic.menu.FlashSize.512K128.build.spiffs_start=0x5B000
generic.menu.FlashSize.512K128.build.spiffs_end=0x7B000
generic.menu.FlashSize.512K128.build.spiffs_blocksize=4096
generic.menu.FlashSize.512K128.upload.maximum_size=368624

And added this in new file ‘eagle.flash.512k128.ld’

/* Flash Split for 512K chips */
/* sketch 359KB */
/* spiffs 128KB */
/* eeprom 20KB */

Yes. I loaded the filemanager and performed a reset. Then I restart and I got a minimal form for entering my SSID an password. Everthing worked fine without using the ESP as AP.

I also didn’t need the AP-mode.
Last week I flashed the simple example file from Arduino with the SSID and pwd.
After uploading ESPimatic, the ESP connected to my wifi! Very comfortably.

Again I’m flabbergasted :p
How can a ESP connect to your wifi without the correct settings?
I grabbed a ESP from my collection and flashed with ESPimatic, worked like I expected and need to enter credentials.

@BlueHill you even didn’t put in wifi credentials in the first simple page right after rebooting ?

I think that after uploading ESPimatic (+Reboot) I just start uploading the html-files (imho ESP connected with the credentials in EEPROM from the example sketch, IP was 192.168.0.x). Reboot. At the GUI I got a lot of “?” at the ssid textbox, so I typed in my ssid and pwd. Reboot. Fine.

Guys! need your help. I’m stuck with the flashing of my wemos D1 mini.
I’m getting this error and need some advice. Anybody an idea what to do?!
maybe i’m using the wrong lib?

Arduino: 1.6.7 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

                  ^

compilation terminated.

exit status 1
Error compiling.

I’m having issues with compiling on 1.6.7 also. Can you try with 1.6.5 ?

you did the same mistake like me…
the esp8266-lib git-website hints to 1.6.5.
i did not read it, too

ok forget about it! solved it … forgot to install the d1 mini driver facepalm
on my dev pc in the basement it’s installed but not upstairs at the laptop

Now that a few people are testing, I’m really curious on your setups and how you have configured the ESP.

Currently I have 2 ESP’s setup.
One is in the living room with LED Matrix and a DS18B20. The temperature is measured every 1 minute and send to pimatic. The temperature is displayed on the LED Matrix

The intensity of the LED Matrix can be changed with a pimatic dimmer-slide:

IF $esp-led-dimmer.dimlevel gets updated and dimlevel of esp-led-dimmer <= 75% THEN execute "sudo curl  --silent --data 'action=matrix_brightness&value={($esp-led-dimmer.dimlevel/5)}' http://192.168.2.144/api > /dev/null"

A other ESP is in my bathroom with 2 relays attached to control my bath. The relays are controlled with ShellSwitches:

    {
      "id": "badkamer-bad-main",
      "name": "Badkamer bubbelbad stroom",
      "class": "ShellSwitch",
      "onCommand": "curl --silent --data 'action=relay1&value=on' http://esp02/api",
      "offCommand": "curl --silent --data 'action=relay1&value=off' http://esp02/api",
      "getStateCommand": "curl --silent --data 'action=relay1&value=status' http://esp02/api",
      "interval": 60000
    },
    {
      "id": "badkamer-bad-blup",
      "name": "Badkamer bubbels",
      "class": "ShellSwitch",
      "onCommand": "curl --silent --data 'action=relay2&value=on' http://esp02/api",
      "offCommand": "curl --silent --data 'action=relay2&value=off' http://esp02/api",
      "getStateCommand": "curl --silent --data 'action=relay2&value=status' http://esp02/api",
      "interval": 60000
    },

Thanks a lot for the hint!! Savd me lots of debug trouble
now running on IDE 1.6.5 and all is fine!

edit: just hooked up a ds18 sensor without any problems!
great work! thx for all your efforts! looking forward to work with ESPimatic
here’s my D1 testing board with the DS18 attached.

Great
Got my first sensor running with this sketch on an ESP8266-01 with 512k(128k SPIFF) and a DS18B20 on GPIO 2. Flash space in use 87%. Loaded HTML files: ds17b20, filemanager,gpio, pimatic, root, wifi.
