IF Else Statement and Fauxmo

hi Mathew,

i'm trying to do a similar thing.
i'm tying to POST a API to my raspberry pi, I've noticed if you move your (GET snippet/block) of code and place it anywhere else in the same sketch it will work.

also have you replaced the GET with POST just to see what happens?

looking into this further i think its also a library issue in a sense that the fauxmoESP.h and the ESP8266HTTPClient.h do not play well together??

i think there has been issues before with other HTTP/server libraries conflicting.

I seem to be experiencing similar. FAUXMO works perfectly alone and the example behaves as it should. ESP8266HTTPClient also works correctly, sending HTTP commands to my Sonoff plugs.

The two together just will not work - I don't get any errors, FAUXMO toggles the LED state and sends to serial the change of state details but no HTTP string gets sent.

Glad it isn't just me ...

Try not to add too much code inside the callback, rise a flag instead and handle it from the main loop.

Yes, thanks - I'd been restructuring the code for a while (don't have much spare time!) and it seems to work ok. Only using two devices and occasionally it hangs but much better than before.
