I like this program but I have had issues and want to share what I have found.
1. It would NOT connect to my wireless router! It connected to the phone as a hotspot without issue. Eventually found I had to turn OFF mode B on the router. Now the router is only g/n and the ESP8266 connects great!?!? I found this because someone had to set their router to 'auto' before the ESP8266 would connect.
2. Just started connecting the USB-serial device I used to flash the device initially. I am finding this is a great debugging tool. There is lots of feedback shown in the serial monitor when sending email!
3. It took me a long time to find that I needed to update the browser to see new content that I had printed. I thought the program was dead or stuck.
I did find it easy to read the DS18B20 temperature sensor and to send email.
Updating to ThingSpeak did not work with the library command but found on the forum you can just 'print wget([update string from thingspeak])'.
Thank you
Eric
