No Hotspot / no Connection

[coyote1]

Hi,

first, many many thanks for this project. Works fine for the first time, but i wanted to change the names. So i restart in hotspot mode an change the names. After reboot i had no more connection to my wifi and no hotspot is there. Any idea? What can i do?
I think i will try to flash the ESP Modul again to see if it works

After reflash it works.
But i have another problem. If mqtt broker is down, ESP doesn't restart in Hotspot Mode. It is still connected to my AP, but can't connect to MQTT Broker if it returns.

Same problem here. If the MQTT server is offline (even for a short time) the module will stay connected to the wifi but will not attempt to connect to the MQTT server.
Even if I disconnect the aircon from mains and connect it again it does not work.
Only way to fix it is to disable the wifi so the esp will change to config mode...
Tried to find the location in the code where the module could be stuck but I was not able to identify the position.
Any ideas or progress regarding this issue?
