homie-esp8266: Can't configure homie

Before submitting your issue, make sure:

• You’re using a stable release, not the Git development version which is, by definition, unstable
• You’ve read the documentation for your release, which is in the docs/ folder of the .zip of the release you’re using, especially the Getting started and Troubleshooting pages, which contain respectively the minimum required version of the dependencies, and some answsers to the most common problems
• You’re using the examples bundled in your release, which are in the examples/ folder of the .zip of the release you’re using. Examples in the latest git revision might not be backward-compatible with your release

Thanks!

I am trying to get my first Homie board set up.

I have tried a number of sketches using both master and delevop branches, cloned and installed from zip.

Homie installs on both NodeMCU and on Wemos D1 mini and there my luck runs out…

I cannot get a heartbeat using either of the configuration web pages. I can see ‘heartbeat request received’ multiple times on the serial console but the web page never gets beyond waiting for device.

I can connect to device and get device info using the app but once I get to the settings tab I get stuck. The ‘next’ button is never enabled so I can’t progress to Launch.

If I try using curl to PUT a config I get an ‘invalid or too big JSON’ error.

I’m obviously missing something but I can’t figure out what!
