ESP8266 hangs in Cayenne.loop when WiFi Connection is lost

Does not work either, as the “Cayenne.begin” routine, which is executed during setup is also written in a way, that it hangs up indefinitely, if no WiFi is present.

I will take a look at it and see what I can come up with. I modified the blynk connection method to do that over here so it should be possible.

there are several discussions of this problem in various forums.

Yes, I have seen a few people posting about this. Might be better to just put the ESP is deep sleep mode (also in the link above)

I just have not figured out, how to jump out of the Cayenne.loop function in that case.

This must be an MQTT issues since I don’t remember seeing that behavior in the blynk connection method. Again, I’ll take a look and see if I can get it working.

I really need to update the battery powered ESP project page so maybe I’ll take some time to update it to the officially supported MQTT connection method while I’m testing these things.
