SSL connection to Firebase via ESP8266(ESP-01) stop working
Posted: Tue Jul 20, 2021 6:56 amFor the last 5 months, we have successfully managed to create an SSL connection to Firebase via ESP8266 (ESP-01).
Two weeks ago the connection stopped working aside for a few individual times, a day after we couldn't connect at all.
-> AT+CIPSTART responded ever since with ERROR CLOSED.
We tried switching between different WiFi networks and got the same results.
Details:
1. We are managing to create TCP connections with HTTP websites.
2. The WiFi module is connected to an STM32, the communication is established using AT commands via UART (baud rate 15200).
3. We tried issuing AT commands using a direct UART connection between the STM32 and the PC (independent of our code). The commands were given through a Terminal window in our PC - AT+CIPSTART still failed (same error).
4. We have 4 different WiFi modules - ESP8266 (ESP-01). They all reacted the same.
5. In the past we had a similar issue, back then we set the SSL size to 4096 (the maximum size and it helped).
6. We managed to connect to other HTTPS websites using an SSL connection
-> when connecting to these sites via AT+CIPSTART we got a few times the response CONNECTED OK, for the rest we got CLOSED OK.
AT commands details
AT+RST (reset the module)
AT+CWMODE=1 (set the Wi-Fi mode to station mode)
AT+CWJAP="SSID","PWD" (connect to a Wi-Fi network)
AT+CIFSR (get the Wi-Fi module IP)
AT+CIPSSLSIZE=4096 (change the SSL buffer size)
AT+CIPSTART="SSL","project-name-rtdb.firebaseio.com",443 (establish a SSL connection)
AT+CIPSEND=300 (send data)

If anyone can help, we would appreciate it very much.
Thank you in advance!
