Improved the MQTT driver (hoping ...

) ....... ????

Hello Cicciocb, I'm very sorry - the new mqtt driver unfortunately does not work (the ESP system gets extremely slow, occasionally loses the W-Lan connection - re-connect is required)

hi, just testet mqtt with 8266.
Seems to work as expected but one has to change the mqtt.setup command as described in the help file
old: ret = mqtt.setup("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", 1883)
new: ret = mqtt.setup("mqtt://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1883")
hope this helps

Yes, the syntax of this command is much similar to the ESP32.
For info, by default the port is 1883 for mqtt and 8883 for the mqtts so the new syntax can simply be

Code: [Local Link Removed for Guests]

new: ret = mqtt.setup("mqtt://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx")

Yes, It was my intention but I forgot to include in this release.
It will probably be in the next one.

Just checking in case support for hardware wake-up from sleep might be included but not documented ?
