ChangeLog

28 April 2020

  • reset the device in case the wifi client cannot connect to the server (to avoid upstream bugs with wifi client)

27 April 2020

  • add OTA support
  • remove sleeping altogether since it does not look like a low energy project
  • implement WiFi reconnect

26 April 2020

  • move configurable parameters to the top of the file and add sections.
  • turn some configurable parameters into defines rather than variables.
  • change from DyanmicJsonDocument to StaticJsonDocument in order to suit arduinojson v6
  • allow the user to switch between SSL and plain HTTP (for private servers)
  • fix deep sleep support for ESP32 and ESP8266 (ESP8266 is now compatible)
  • remove yield() in the main loop since it is redundant
  • rename GROUP_NAME → FAMILY_NAME since that is what is implied (find3 terminology)
  • fix defines to include BLE only on ESP32
  • fix a startup crash on ESP8266 (wait for WiFI connection)
  • use proper NTP client to retrieve timestamp and remove getUnixTimestamp (now compatible with both ESP32 and ESP8266)
  • add the UTC offset as a parameter to the NTP client
  • shorten the chip ID and add "esp-" to make it clear what device is updating the find server
  • use toggle defines rather than "is defined" since it is more elegant for the user to deal with

About

Find3 is a framework that uses Wifi and Bluetooth signal levels (RSSI) from devices relative to each other and then applies statistical methods such as machine learning in order to track devices indoors. A0 rundown and tutorial of Find3 can be found in the IoT section.

This sketch is an alternative Find3 client for the ESP, forked from the official repository but with a few features added and some refactoring.
