What sensor are you using @liderbug I am building a temperature and humidity sensor for my Greenhouse with a Nodemcu and BME280 sensor with a solar charger - no particular need but out of interest. The BME280 sensor does not like being over 90% humidity for long; it takes hours for the temperature part to settle down again. You probably do not have that problem as you have the fans? I have a SHT15 as well and I should try and see if that is better under these conditions.

Out of interest I can not access your website as I am "Forbidden"

I am an engineer and it makes me cring looking at the second photo; I like things neat and tidy.

I couldn't agree more. I would venture further and say that it's all well and good chucking things together and/or prototyping for low voltage/current but you are using mains electricity. It's your property of course, but how much do you value it after it has caught fire? I would also point out that many countries have building codes/standards for mains wiring and yours might be illegal.

This leak has been fixed but not available in a release yet. One can use the git version or as I did just replace the WiFiClient.cpp file from git which has this fix in.

To check any server side issue I ran a test making repeated GET's to the server and logging the heap size.

2000 calls in the heap is the same size within a few bytes as when it started and continues to run fine.
