Static IP

[methaqali]

Hi @woakas, and @jotathebest
Thank you for this wonderful work.
I like to add static IP to ubidots publish code in order to connect with router by this IP. I tried the following modification but it lead to appear the error in the attached screenshot.
Any Suggestion is appreciated.

#include "UbidotsESPMQTT.h"

/****************************************

• Define Constants
  ****************************************/
  #define TOKEN "---" // Your Ubidots TOKEN
  #define WIFINAME "----" //Your SSID
  #define WIFIPASS "-----" // Your Wifi Pass

Ubidots client(TOKEN);

/****************************************

• Auxiliar Functions
  ****************************************/

void callback(char* topic, byte* payload, unsigned int length) {
Serial.print("Message arrived [");
Serial.print(topic);
Serial.print("] ");
for (int i=0;i<length;i++) {
Serial.print((char)payload[i]);
}
Serial.println();
}
/****************************************

• Main Functions
  ****************************************/
  void setup() {
  IPAddress staticIP224_60(192,168,1,70);
  IPAddress gateway224_60(192,168,1,1);
  IPAddress subnet224_60(255,255,255,0);
  IPAddress dns224_60(192,168,1,1);// DNS server IP
  Serial.begin(115200);
  client.setDebug(true); // Pass a true or false bool value to activate debug messages
  WiFi.begin(WIFINAME, WIFIPASS);
  WiFi.config(staticIP224_60, gateway224_60, subnet224_60, dns224_60);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
  delay(1000);
  Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println(F("WiFi connected"));
  Serial.println(F("IP address: "));
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
  client.begin(callback);
  }
  void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  if(!client.connected()){
  client.reconnect();
  }

// Publish values to 2 different data sources
client.add("stuff", 10.2); //Insert your variable Labels and the value to be sent
client.ubidotsPublish("source1");
client.add("stuff", 10.2);
client.add("more-stuff", 120.2);
client.ubidotsPublish("source2");
client.loop();
delay(5000);
}

unfortunately actually it is not possible to set a fixed Ip with the library, and the wifi method to set fixed ips generates conflicts with the actual way that we use the pubsubclient instance. I will add this to our feature request queue for future releases

Thank you @jotathebest for your feedback. I think this is very important feature especially for switching of data from Ubidot to local main controller - in case of interruption of internet services - and visa versa. This in fact will enhance Ubidot good contribution for IoT services and make control systems more reliable.
I hope that you will try more to modify the library.

All the best.
