ESP32 Forum

Hello,
I’ve been using multiple ESP32 devices on ESP RainMaker for over a year, and everything was working perfectly until I updated the ESP Rainmaker iPhone app this week. Since the update, I’ve noticed that when I try to set a specific input parameter (for example, parameter3), the app randomly updates a different parameter such as parameter1, parameter5, or any other.

However, when I set the same parameter using the Android version of the ESP RainMaker app, it works perfectly fine. This clearly shows that the issue exists only in the latest iPhone app version.

This behaviour is causing serious issues with all my devices and affecting their proper operation. Kindly look into this matter and provide a fix at the earliest.

Thank you in advance

I second that! I have a big device with many settings and this new bug is very frustrating. Since the last update, it always updating random params.

The android app works.

We could reproduce this issue, but only for "text" UI type parameters, not sliders, toggle buttons, etc. Is your observation similar? If yes, we have a fix almost ready, which we will validate and release asap.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, this issue is related to the text UI. I’m not facing any problems with the toggle button or the drop-down menu. I would really appreciate it if this issue could be fixed at the earliest, as my devices are currently stuck and not usable.

In my case, it shows up when editing float and int params as well on ios.

ESP RainMaker iOS app v3.5.1 has been released with a fix for this issue. Please check and let us know if it works well for you.

Even a single missed MQTT PING Request or Response due to local network conditions can cause a node to disconnect. However, since there is a retry mechanism, it connects back immediately, causing the two notifications. Sometimes, there can also be some server-initiated disconnects triggered via some AWS internal maintenance activities.

Confirming that the ESP RainMaker iOS app v3.5.1 is fixed for me. Thanks for the very fast turn around on this!

Thank you for fixing this iphone app issue, now the text UI seems to be updating the params properly in iPhone.

Thank you

Hi,

I’m using version 3.5.1. While the previous issue is no longer reproduced, I’ve encountered a new related problem.

This happens when playing with the UI.HIDDEN type: it can overwrite the above parameter.

For example, consider three dropdown parameters: A, B, and C. I set UI.HIDDEN for parameter C and then report the node details. Parameter C correctly disappears from the device’s parameter list. However, when I select any dropdown value from parameter B, the app reports that parameter A was modified instead, which is incorrect.

From what I remember, in the device page (not the main page) on Android, you can swipe down to refresh the page. On iOS, this isn’t possible. But if I go back to the main device list and refresh it there, this is not reproduced anymore. Also, this is not reproduced when changing from UI.HIDDEN to UI.DROPDOWN, so when making them visible.

Although the conditions to reproduce this might be more complex, I feel that this is an issue related to handling different indices for Visible Parameters in the app.

It would be great to have a manual refresh option or an auto-refresh in the device list, as long as some new data is received by the phone app. Also would be great if when you resume the application (like opening from the background), it would refresh automatically. This is done on the main page, but it does not work on the device page.
