second ESPimatic will not work

---

Hello,
I have a problem with setting up my second ESP8266.
I have the ESPimatic.ino loaded into ArduinoIDE and transferred to the ESP8266. Then set WIFI and urged loaded files.

The WebGUI shows me this:

The serial monitor of ArduinoIDE shows me following on:
The second ESP:

HTTP server started
handle fileread: /root.html
handle fileread: /js/insert.js
handle fileread: /css/bootstrap-extra.css
handle fileread: /js/menubar.js

The first ESP (which properly working)
The same call shows me this:

HTTP server started
handle fileread: /root.html
handle fileread: /js/insert.js

Can anyone tell me where my mistake is me?

tried to clear the cache ? ^^
maybe reflash again or try to reset the esp
https://github.com/koffienl/ESPimatic/wiki/Simple-API

I have already re-flashed several times. Unfortunately no different result. I downloaded the files from Github emerging and re-flashed, without success.
Now I have so tried this:
http: //192.168.178.28/api?action=reset
and
http: //192.168.178.28/api?action=[reset]
Unfortunately, without success.

The cache I have also deleted.

Why do I get different messages in the serial monitor of ArduinoIDE. I find that strange.

@koffienl sorry, have no clue, can you help maybe?

@Thrusty

if re-flash wouldn’t help clear the spiffs-sector with “ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload” Plugin

http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=10081
or
https://github.com/esp8266/arduino-esp8266fs-plugin

I have installed the plug as in the first and then as the second link.
I do not get this point in the menu unfortunately.
My serial monitor once presented:

And of the functioning:

That is the issue to the relevant call in the WebGUI.
The IP … 28 is the new ESP, IP … 32 is the old, functioning ESP.

sorry @Thrusty the pics are too small in resolution, can you upload a better copy?

the resolution was really bad…

but it looks like ubuntu? try to install the plugin to ~/Documents/Arduino/

https://github.com/esp8266/arduino-esp8266fs-plugin/issues/20

Yes, I work with Ubuntu. Unfortunately my WebSpace is full and I can not delete anything. I can show the moment nothing better.

okay, other tryout was to clear the spiffs with
http://esp-ip/format

https://github.com/koffienl/ESPimatic/wiki/Format-SPIFFS

or compile ESPimatic with 1M spiffs size

(if the spiffs size was to small for uploading the files, set them back to 3M and flash again. after changeing the size flashing and rebooting the spiffs should get cleared)

I have the ESP-01, only 1MB.
Since the setting with 4MB will probably not work.

When I start ArduinoIDE, then I get this message:

$ sudo sh arduino
[sudo] password for ingo:

Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS:

Perhaps that has to do with my problem?

ooh, okay.

i didn’t see the message before… sorry… but I go out of suggestions

edit: my last advice: reflash in commandline with nodecmu *.bin file

http://www.whatimade.today/flashing-the-nodemcu-firmware-on-the-esp8266-linux-guide/

did you upload the files from the bootstrap folder?
imo the problem is, that the esp01 has only limited size as you already know. there is not much space for the fileuploads.
for the esp01 you should consider to gzip the html files and upload them to the spiffs - and also upload the files in the bootstrap folder too (not included here!).

maybe this helps, worked for me.

i also did a memory upgrade of an esp01 to 4MB flash. works like a charm but need good soldering skills and equipment.

Like @Leader21 mentions: the espo01 is actually too small for espimatic. You do need to upload the gz files.
Next to that it is not neccessary to upload all files (in the gz). If you only have a ds18b20 connected, you don’t need to upload the dht.html or irled.html or … you name it.

And what is your first ESP? Is that also an ESP01 or indeed a “bigger” ESP? Are you comparing apples with pears?

Yes you need some SPIFFS space to upload all files.
You can try stripping all the unwanted files and do not upload the bootstrap and jquery files (you need internet connection on the device you connect with to the ESP).
All the HTML files can be compressed with gzip before uploading to save some space.

The files you really need:

bootstrap-extra.css
esp.html
insert-local.js
login.html (if you need login)
menubar.js
pimatic.html
root.html
wifi.html

Plus one or more HTML files for the devices/sensors you use

Together about 63 KB so you would need about 504 kilobit of flash/SPIFFS space. If you compress these files with Gzip it would take about 19 KB / 150 kilobit of space on the SPIFFS

For the money, I would just order some NodeMCU’s from ebay/aliexpress with 5mbit flash.

Hi all, thanks for your help, now I finally managed it and found my mistake. Thanks to @koffienl I have checked my files again and have fixed frame that I had packed these files with gzip.
bootstrap-extra.css
Insert local.js
menuBar.js

@koffienl a file is missing in your collection I think.
Insert web.js

As always now also runs on my second ESP-01 with 1 MB.

And reasonable images upload goes again.

Now I can switch on the Christmas lights with pimatic and ESPimatic when the time comes.

Edit: Sorry, no with 1MB, only 512kb

Yeah my bad. Should have mentoined only to use insert-web.js
Since you have little space I assumed you’re not going to put the bootstrap/jquery files on SPIFFS. Then you can leave the insert-local.js and only upload insert-web.js

Glad to see it’s working
