Hi ohgary,

yes, when I disconnect/reconnect the device, I directly receive a message on 9600baud:

So this is working perfectly for you, no data loss? Did you flash the ESP?
Mine is running the default software; 0.9.2.4

Hi all,
Initially, I had problems getting some of the sketches to respond to my module. I realised after a lot of head scratching the the response to AT+RST was "Ready" not "ready"!
Check by connecting the module directly to a serial port and type in the commands. Not all of the AT commands give the responses shown in the data sheet. They seem to vary between firmware releases.

I tested with 9.0.0, 9.0.1 and 9.0.2 (I flashed the 9.0.2 version)...

I've been running a version of the Weather Code (http://zeflo.com/2014/esp8266-weather-display/) on a few devices for several weeks without problems...
It's not very taxing code so as to data loss, I have no idea if packets are dropped from time to time but I doubt it...

Strangely enough I was in the process of designing some type of meter to validate signal strength / loss of data...
