OTA Update Problem Due To Alarm.delay(1000); from ESP8266TimeAlarms.h

Other Hardware Displays

I have purposely titled this the same as this topic:
https://forum.arduino.cc/t/ota-udate-problem-due-to-delay-function/695925

In this topic the solution was to use the delay function as shown:

uint32_t moment = millis();
while (millis() - moment < 200) {
  ArduinoOTA.handle();
  yield();
}

But for me this will not work as my code needs this:

void loop()
{
   Alarm.delay(1000); // wait one second between clock display
   ArduinoOTA.handle();
}

Where the Alarm.delay(1000); where it must be one second (I learned the hard way through many hours of seaching that it must be at least 1 second) which is too long for ArduinoOTA.handle(); to work.

If I use 100ms then ArduinoOTA will work but the Alarm.delay works erratically (which consumed many hours of messing around)

Then i tried this:

void loop()
{
  int del;
  for (del = 0; del <= 10; del++)
  {
    ArduinoOTA.handle();
    Alarm.delayOTA(100); 
  }
}

But OTA will not work. Even if I reduce Alarm.delay to 10ms and increase the loop count to 100 it still does not work.

So how do I solve this?

Hello

Try increase OTA timeout

Thank you for your reply guix. I have googled this and I am not able to figure out how to do this. Could you provide details of how to do this?

Thank you.
