settings, static IP

[ghost]

Would be nice, to be able to set a static IP address, getting headache figuring it out how to do it in the code.

Only DHCP is supported ;-)

I use bind IP to MAC in My router DrayTek Vigor or NAS QNAP (with DHCP Server).

OK, thanks for all the great work anyway :)

if some lost soul would like static IP.
edit: sonoff.ino insert at about row 141
add:
// WiFi Settings
const uint8_t ipadd[4] = {192,168,x,x}; //static ip
const uint8_t ipgat[4] = {192,168,x,x}; //local router gateway ip
const uint8_t ipsub[4] = {255,255,xx,xx}; //subnetmask

then edit support.ino add line at row about 154
WiFi.config(ipadd, ipgat, ipsub); // set static IP

// it works great for me..

Thnx for the idea. Will be implemented in next version

static IPs can be extremely useful, if you can't keep track of what's on your network, it's not going to be a very good network in any case. If I don't go with static IP addresses in devices, I go with DHCP static allocations.

allocations."
That's the right way to do it

There is no "one right way" in tech, any rule you try to create will end up having someone, somewhere run into a situation where the best thing to do is to break the rule. going with static allocations in DHCP rather than static IPs on the devices adds a dependency to the network that can take the network down if it's not working. Everything is a trade-off.
