Socket.io 2.0 Compatibility

[diruuu]

Hi,
Silly question, but I wonder if this work with socket.io v2.0. Or should I use socket.io v.1 only on the server?

[washo4evr]

Hi,
for sure it has only been tested on 1.x
I would recommend staying with the older version

I may try when time permits to check v2.x

[HudsonProdigy]

No it does not. At least not as is. I spent half day trying to get it to work, with no success. As soon as i read this post and realized i was running 2.0.1 socket io, i downgraded to 1.4.5 and everything worked great.

I ordered an ESP32 and will be adding support for this new CPU + socket.io 2.x when I receive it.

Thanks for your patience

Hi,
ESP32 + socket.IO v2.0.3 are now supported

[florian-guillemard]

Hi,

I tried with socket.IO v2.2.0, and now on v2.0.3.. I can't make it work :(
My server is on a MacOSX 10.14.2, Node v10.13.0..

2 days I'm on this and I can't figure it out..
I made an app with the subscribing functionnality "room", it's working great with the Web page but no hope on ESP32S.. So I tried your example with no success!

Thanks for your help,

On ESP32S

#define ESP32
#include <SocketIOClient.h>

SocketIOClient client;
const char* ssid     = "Florian";
const char* password = "0601773693";

char host[] = "192.168.1.95";
int port = 2390;
extern String RID;
extern String Rname;
extern String Rcontent;

unsigned long previousMillis = 0;
long interval = 5000;
unsigned long lastreply = 0;
unsigned long lastsend = 0;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(10);

  // We start by connecting to a WiFi network

  Serial.println();
  Serial.println();
  Serial.print("Connecting to ");
  Serial.println(ssid);

  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }

  Serial.println("");
  Serial.println("WiFi connected");
  Serial.println("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());

  if (!client.connect(host, port)) {
    Serial.println("connection failed");
    return;
  }
if (client.connected())
  {
    client.send("connection", "message", "Connected !!!!");
  }
}

void loop() {
unsigned long currentMillis = millis();
  if (currentMillis - previousMillis > interval)
  {
    previousMillis = currentMillis;
    //client.heartbeat(0);
    Serial.print("**************************************  ");
    Serial.println(lastsend);
    client.send("atime", "message", "Time please?");
    lastsend = millis();
    Serial.print("**************************************  ");
    Serial.println(lastsend);
  }
  if (client.monitor())
  {
    lastreply = millis();
    Serial.println(RID);
    if (RID == "atime" && Rname == "time")
    {
      Serial.print("Il est ");
      Serial.println(Rcontent);
    }
  }
}

On Node :

var app = require('http').createServer(handler);
var io = require('socket.io')(app);

// io.configure('production', function(){
//   io.set('transports', ['xhr-polling']);
// });

var fs = require('fs');
app.listen(2390);

function handler (req, res) {
  fs.readFile(__dirname + '/index.html',
  function (err, data) {
    if (err) {
      res.writeHead(500);
      return res.end('Error loading index.html');
    }

    res.writeHead(200);
    res.end(data);
  });
}
function ParseJson(jsondata) {
    try {
        return JSON.parse(jsondata);
    } catch (error) {
        return null;
    }
}
function sendTime() {
    io.sockets.emit('atime', { time: new Date().toJSON() });
}
io.on('connection', function (socket) {
	console.log("Connected");
  socket.emit('welcome', { message: 'Connected !!!!' });
  socket.on('connection', function (data) {
    console.log(data);   });
  socket.on('atime', function (data) {
	  sendTime();
    console.log(data);
    });
socket.on('JSON', function (data) {
//	console.log(data);
	var jsonStr = JSON.stringify(data);
	    var parsed = ParseJson(jsonStr);
console.log(parsed);
	console.log(parsed.sensor);
  });
    socket.on('arduino', function (data) {
	  io.sockets.emit('arduino', { message: 'R0' });
    console.log(data);
  });
});

In 'index.html' :

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <script src='//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js'></script>
        <script src='//192.168.1.95:2390/socket.io/socket.io.js'></script>
        <script>
            var socket = io.connect('//192.168.1.95:2390');
$(document).ready(function(){
                $("#button").click(function() {
                    socket.emit('arduino' ,"Hello World!");
                })
            })
            socket.on('welcome', function(data) {
                $('#messages').append('<li>' + data.message + '</li>');
                socket.emit('atime', {data: 'foo!'});
            });
            socket.on('atime', function(data) {
                console.log(data);
                $('#messages').append('<li>' + data.time + '</li>');
            });
            socket.on('arduino', function(data) {
                console.log(data);
                $('#messages').append('<li>' + data + '</li>');
            });
		
            socket.on('error', function() { console.error(arguments) });
            socket.on('message', function() { console.log(arguments) });
        </script>

With the default example, I was experiencing timeout after 20-30 seconds. Then in the JS side (own custom nodejs), I changed the configuration of the server "pingInterval" and "pingTimeout" to one minute and set a timer to trigger a client.heartbeat(1) every 55 seconds. Now it works.

[florian-guillemard]

Thanks, I will try ASAP your solution ;)

[florian-guillemard]

I changed the 'pingTimeout' and 'pingInterval' at 60 000 but with no effect!
What did I do wrong ?

Connecting to Florian
..

IP address: 
192.168.1.76
1216 <= millis() before connect()
19474 <= millis() before print('failed')

var app = require('http').createServer(handler);
var io = require('socket.io')(app, {
  pingInterval: 60000,
  pingTimeout: 60000
});

Snippet of my server code (v.2.2.0, nodejs v.10.4.0):

const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const http = require("http").Server(app);

const io = require("socket.io")(http, {
  pingInterval: 60000,
  pingTimeout: 5000
});

...

io.on("connection", function(socket) {
  console.log("Client connected");

  socket.on("disconnect", function(reason) {
    console.log("Client disconnected: " + reason);
  });

// other handlers

...
// finally
http.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Listening on ${PORT}`));

and for the ESP32S side:

#define ESP32
#include <SocketIOClient.h>

SocketIOClient client;
const unsigned char LED_BUILTIN = 2;
const char *ssid = "";
const char *password = "";

char host[] = "your host";
int port = your port;
int i = 0;

volatile SemaphoreHandle_t timerSemaphore;
portMUX_TYPE timerMux = portMUX_INITIALIZER_UNLOCKED;

uint32_t isrCount = 0, isrTime = 0;

void IRAM_ATTR onTimer()
{
  // Increment the counter and set the time of ISR
  portENTER_CRITICAL_ISR(&timerMux);
  isrCounter++;
  lastIsrAt = millis();
  portEXIT_CRITICAL_ISR(&timerMux);
  // Give a semaphore that we can check in the loop
  xSemaphoreGiveFromISR(timerSemaphore, NULL);
  // It is safe to use digitalRead/Write here if you want to toggle an output
}

extern String RID;
extern String Rname;
extern String Rcontent;

void setup()
{
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);

  Serial.begin(9600);

    Serial.print(".");
  }

  Serial.println("");

  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());

  if (!client.connect(host, port))

    return;
  }
  if (client.connected())
  {
    Serial.println("Connected");
    // Create semaphore to inform us when the timer has fired
    timerSemaphore = xSemaphoreCreateBinary();
    timer = timerBegin(0, 80, true);             // Timer0, 80 prescaler, count up
    timerAttachInterrupt(timer, &onTimer, true); // timer, callback, edge
    timerAlarmWrite(timer, 1000000, true);       // timer, count to interrupt at, reload
    timerAlarmEnable(timer);
  }
}

void loop()

  // If Timer has fired
  if (xSemaphoreTake(timerSemaphore, 0) == pdTRUE)
  {
    // Read the interrupt count and time
    portENTER_CRITICAL(&timerMux);
    isrCount = isrCounter;
    isrTime = lastIsrAt;
    portEXIT_CRITICAL(&timerMux);
    // Print it
    Serial.print("onTimer no. ");
    Serial.print(isrCount);
    Serial.print(" at ");
    Serial.print(isrTime);
    Serial.println(" ms");
    if (isrCount % 55 == 0)
    {
      client.heartbeat(1);  // Keep connection alive by sending heartbeat every 55 seconds.
    }
  }

  if (i < 1)
  {
    Serial.println("**************************************  ");
    client.send("message", "message", "Some message sent once!");
    Serial.println("**************************************  ");
    i++;
  }

  if (client.monitor())
  {
    Serial.println(RID);
    if (RID == "message" && Rname == "message")
    {
      Serial.print("Contents:");
      Serial.println(Rcontent);
    }
    else if (RID == "message" && Rname == "things")
    {
      Serial.print("Some amount of things ");
      Serial.print(Rcontent); // Value of things
      Serial.println(" unit of things.");
      client.send("message", "message", "Response to things");
    }
  }
}

Hope this helps you, I don't have time for much else right now.

Thanks for your response, but I did not work with Socket.IO v2.2.0 and Node v10.4.0 with my ESP32S :(
