It seems that the interference generated by the 220v AC light switching on is received by the ESP and causes a reset, maybe the reset pin acts as antena.

has anyone solved this?

- Tue Mar 10, 2015 2:59 pm #11744 Hello again, the Antenna-theory might be correct! If i remove the cable between the RST pin on the ESP and the VCC on my breadboard, i could switch the relay 100 times without any reset of the ESP

I'm note sure if RST really must be pulled up, but if so, a decent capacitor directly next to the RST on the ESP should be enough to keep up the voltage (maybe?)

So this should be the solution. Can anyone please agree?

- Wed Mar 11, 2015 2:31 am #11771 I have even removed the reset PIN on the ESP-01 and now it becomes stable, but I use one GPIO with a push button to instant change the relay state, and it seems that is receiving interferences also and causing resets due to the multiple interruptions.

I'll do more tests and post the results here. We must get a solution and continue with our impressive experiments!
