"error encoding" on ESP32 PlatformIO

[megabitsenmzq]

There is a community post about this:
https://forum.arduino.cc/t/esp32-arduinoiotcloud-lib-is-unable-to-connect-since-version-2-5-0/1385757

void initProperties(){

  ArduinoCloud.setBoardId(DEVICE_LOGIN_NAME);
  ArduinoCloud.setSecretDeviceKey(DEVICE_KEY);

}

WiFiConnectionHandler ArduinoIoTPreferredConnection(SSID, PASS);

After connecting to Wifi, the console is spammed by "error encoding".

error encoding 267
error encoding 256
error encoding 257
error encoding 256
error encoding 257
error encoding 256
error encoding 257
...

@megabitsenmzq do you mind sharing your PlatformIO project?

[megabitsenmzq]

It's an almost blank project. I copied all the code generated by Arduino Cloud.

platformio.ini

[env:m5stack-atom]
platform = espressif32
board = m5stack-atom
framework = arduino
lib_ignore = WiFiNINA
lib_deps = 
	arduino-libraries/ArduinoIoTCloud@^2.6.1
	crankyoldgit/IRremoteESP8266@^2.8.6

const char DEVICE_LOGIN_NAME[]  = "xxx";

const char SSID[]               = "xxx";    // Network SSID (name)
const char PASS[]               = "xxx";    // Network password (use for WPA, or use as key for WEP)
const char DEVICE_KEY[]         = "xxx";    // Secret device password

void onPowerTypeChange();

void onTargetTempChange();

CloudTemperatureSensor currentTemp;
bool power;

CloudTemperature targetTemp;

void initProperties(){

  ArduinoCloud.setBoardId(DEVICE_LOGIN_NAME);
  ArduinoCloud.setSecretDeviceKey(DEVICE_KEY);
  ArduinoCloud.addProperty(currentTemp, READ, ON_CHANGE, NULL);
  ArduinoCloud.addProperty(powerType, READWRITE, ON_CHANGE, onPowerTypeChange);
  ArduinoCloud.addProperty(power, READWRITE, ON_CHANGE, onPowerChange);
  ArduinoCloud.addProperty(targetTemp, READWRITE, ON_CHANGE, onTargetTempChange);

}

WiFiConnectionHandler ArduinoIoTPreferredConnection(SSID, PASS);

main.cpp

#include "thingProperties.h"

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  // This delay gives the chance to wait for a Serial Monitor without blocking if none is found
  delay(1500); 

  // Defined in thingProperties.h
  initProperties();

  // Connect to Arduino IoT Cloud
  ArduinoCloud.begin(ArduinoIoTPreferredConnection);

  setDebugMessageLevel(2);
  ArduinoCloud.printDebugInfo();
}

void loop() {
  ArduinoCloud.update();
}


void onPowerChange()  {
  // Add your code here to act upon Power change
  Serial.println("Power changed to: " + String(power ? "ON" : "OFF"));
}

void onCurrentTempChange()  {
  // Add your code here to act upon CurrentTemp change
}

void onTargetTempChange()  {
  // Add your code here to act upon TargetTemp change
}

void onPowerTypeChange()  {
  // Add your code here to act upon PowerType change
}

@megabitsenmzq can you give it a spin? to #554

[megabitsenmzq]

I just tried this PR. It seems to work as expected.
❤️ Thank you for fixing the problem lightning fast. @andreagilardoni

Than you for highlighting the issue and bringing it back to us ❤️
