Topic: Apparent Limit on Number of Buttons

Am am using the PRO Version + Bluetooth + ESP32 Board + Integrated Blutooth + Arduino IDE
My Interface comprises 2 pages (with 2 Page Switchers on each page) and 25 buttons on one page.
All works fine until I add one additional button to the button page (26 in total).
Then, when I run the RemoteXY app, it connects OK but times out registering.
If I remove the additional control, it works again.
My understanding that the Pro version unlimited GUI elements.
Any help welcome

Can you share the source code of the interface so that we can check? You can send it to our email info@remotexy.com

Re: Apparent Limit on Number of Buttons

I have emailed you the source code. The 1st email includes the source code from 26 buttons that times out.
The second is from the same interface but with one button removed (and works OK).
Thanks for your time.

Further Information on this issue:  Although with fewer then 26 buttons, it connects OK and the interface is shown, the default values of the buttons (on or off) are often set randomly and sometimes large red text appears on the interface saying 'Disconnect'.

Any progress on this issue, its been 4 weeks. Further to the above, even with two basic controls A text box of 6 characters and a button, the text entered sometimes randomly changes (sometimes to the text on the button). Possibly a memory issue?

Re: Apparent Limit on Number of Buttons

Any update on this request.
I am also using an ESP32 with built-in BLE.
If the configuration size 356 bytes it connects and show the 2 pages I have
If i add more elements to the pages and the configuration file size is 493 bites, it does not want to connect.

Re: Apparent Limit on Number of Buttons

The issue appears to be related to the ESP32-S3 chip, as the regular ESP32 works well on very large interfaces. We're investigating this issue.
