ESP8266 is crashing while writing to firebase realtime database about firebase-esp8266

That's because of memory leaks or low free heap.

You should debug your code first and this is not a library issue.

You should read this information.

If you are using the old version esp8266 sdk, you should update.

Hi
thanks for your answer, but I think there must be an issue. I‘ve updated to newest core version but same behavior. My application works for more then one year without any memory leaks or chrash reboot. But if I use the firebase library and i got an error „response payload read timed out“ while writing and bad WiFi connection, I see that the free heap is going down, so I think there is a memory leak in the lib in this case.
Everything works fine if I have free heap from 10,5KB to 11KB, but if heap is going below 8,5KB it chrashed in a very short time.
What is the minimum required free heap and is there any possibility to minimize this ? Could I use http instead of https connections to firebase or could I delete the actual instance of the library and generate a complete new one at runtime if I detect any errors ?
Thanks for your help in forward
Regards joerg

The library was well managed. It is not possible at the current release for memory leaks.

Your device free heap is very critically low which I will never run my esp8266 device in this extremely low memory like this.

Your device should have at least 15-20k when you are using SSL client application. Only 10k is impossible to make SSL client works and the system tasks may fail internally.

You should think again in this issue.

Is there any way to use http instead of https connection so ssl is not required ?
