Yes, at home. The ESP connects via WiFi and the Pi via Ethernet.

Have you used the same mysql server IP in the controllers as in node-red?

Yes.

This' what I see in the console:

```auto
Start Node-RED
 
Once Node-RED has started, point a browser at http://192.168.0.220:1880
On Pi Node-RED works better with the Firefox or Chrome browser
 
Use node-red-stop to stop Node-RED
Use node-red-start to start Node-RED again
Use node-red-log to view the recent log output
Use sudo systemctl enable nodered.service to autostart Node-RED at every boot
Use sudo systemctl disable nodered.service to disable autostart on boot
 
To find more nodes and example flows - go to http://flows.nodered.org
 
Starting as a systemd service.

@Colin I was able to reproduce the problem with a different app from my PC. So, the issue is ISP server related.

Thanks for helping.
