Just setting up a WeatherSense SkyCamera, i.e. NOT the one connected to my SkyWeather2 Pi. I'd like to change some of the parameters, specifically, I'd like to turn OFF the flash, and potentially the LEDs on the camera and power board. Is there a way to do that w/o "reprovisioning" or reflashing the card?

I'd also like to be able to change the MQTT server at some point, I have lots of MQTT traffic from different devices and I'd like to dedicate a server to that.

Look at the bottom of the product page for SkyCam. shop.switchdoc.com/products/solar-skycam-weathersense BP

Thanks! Will MQTTSETTODEFAULTS reset the wifi connection? Also, what about the hostname of the MQTT broker? Thanks!

From the file:

github.com/switchdoclabs/SDL_ESP32_WeatherSenseSkyCam/blob/4b4d0a91c545299b69abf929659a16d1282667b9/MQTTFunctions.h

Take a look at all the commands in there. You will see what each MQTT function does.

BP

case  MQTTSETTODEFAULTS :
      {
        // does not reset ssid, password, mqtt ip or mqtt port

        blinkLight = true;
        time_to_sleep = TIME_TO_SLEEP;
        contrast_delay = DEFAULTCONTRASTDELAY;
        CurrentSensorSettings = DEFAULTSENSORSTRING;
        writePreferences();

      }
      break;
