Ensuring Reliable Cloud Integration with ESP32 for Continuous Sensor Monitoring
Hey guys In a recent lot project, l used ESP32 to connect various sensors to a cloud platform for data storage and remote monitoring. While the initial connection and data transmission worked fine, I encountered issues with intermittent disconnections and data synchronization failures over time. What could be causing the ESP32 to lose its connection to the cloud intermittently, and how can I ensure more reliable cloud integration for continuous data monitoring and real-time updates?

Yh It happens most times , check your signal strength
, use the serial dot printIn to log the wifi rssi , it's a good start
int32_t rssi = WiFi.RSSI();
Serial.print("Signal strength: ");
Serial.println(rssi); // Anything you get that is maybe close to to zero is better
A minus 40 is better than a minus 80 š
Noisy power supply to ESP32's Wi-Fi module can cause disconnections. Faulty or loose connections, such as antenna or power cables, can also interrupt cloud connectivity.
stabilize the power supply with capacitors or regulators and optimize Wi-Fi antenna placement and orientation if external antennas are being used. also make sure there aint any interfering devices close to it
I checked the RSSI and made some adjustments based on the signal strength. It seems more stable now, and Iām monitoring it over time. Appreciate the help!
