Title: Considering purchase of many units, need stability
Post by: espethuser on August 11, 2020, 05:04:17 PM
Hi,

I'm considering buying quite a lot of ESP32-POE to replace Particle Photons (got fed up with WiFi instability). The ESP32-POEs seem ideal but I'm concerned about the recent forum post where the chap says they go offline after 10 days. I need reliability otherwise I'm wasting my money.

thousands of these boards work in field for many months
this chap problem is bad code with memory leak which eats the heap memory for 10 days then stack overflow and stop working
as you can read his code starts working again after reboot, this is definitely not hardware issue
