ESP8266 WiFi relay switch (Arduino IDE)

I answered this question in your other thread - please don't post the same question in multiple topics.

I have copied this code into my Arduino 1.6.8 as a new project.
I changed the ssid and password and it compiles correctly.
Best of all it works as described.......

The program actually works, but it seems to be very slow in updating.
From pressing any of the 8 buttons to an update of the Red/Green flags, it take up to 10 seconds !
Is this how these devices work in real life or is there anything I can do to speed up the update process?

Thank You f8vpe for sharing your code.
This is the first code I have got running on the ESPxxxx.
I am not a web guy, is this what I should expect from the ESP family of devices ?

Thanks

Don

Thanks for the reply
Well, no the esp8266 device family in it itself when coupled with proper web server works aweseomly but the thing that we are using is beta version of iot web server developed by adafruit so the sending and receiving of data takes time, I guess multiple factors like the traffic over your local wifi, your internet speed and moreover traffic over the adafruit iot server decides the update speed
I would recommend you to experiment with various iot web servers around, it will be fun....

Dear Don,

It's not slow, it depends on the browser, the switch reacts quickly but the screen updates slowly (using Windows 7/10 and Firefox)
When I use Firefox on Android is really quick, all on the same network, I was suprised too when I discovered that it was quick on Android.

Maybe an old browser will help !

Kind regards, Robert F8VPE

The drive power on the port is 12mA, a relay board needs 0.75 mA, the solid state needs 6.5 mA so this should not give any problems.

Just tested with SSR and the result if fine. The relay (Fotek SSR-40 DA) has to be connected like this: power to relay (+) and the GPIO by choice to relay (-). The inversion has to be in the SW code: On - low state, OFF - high state.
As for the Fotek SSR - here's an interesting post: http://www.instructables.com/id/The-inner-workings-of-Counterfeit-FOTEK-SSRs/
