Restart via MQTT #392

Closed Digitsl-dB closed 5 years ago

Digitsl-dB commented 5 years ago

I am using this code on the ESP32 and it is great! One function I would like to see is a reset via MQTT. eg from Tasmota: publish("broker", "cmnd/" + device_id + "/restart", "1") Is this possible or already implemented (I couldn't find it in the wiki)? Thanks

1technophile commented 5 years ago

Thanks, just for my curiosity could you explain why you need to restart the ESP?

Digitsl-dB commented 5 years ago

Hi sometimes (once a month) the data to the MQTT broker stops but it is still online. I have to cycle the power to start the MQTT data again. A reset could be issued by OpenHab if the data is not updating at least every 5 mins.

Hi, thanks for the info. Could you indicates what if the frequent of readings that you are using ? Timebetweenreadings value in config_BT.h

Digitsl-dB commented 5 years ago

Hi, I set TimeBtw_Read to 1000 as I use it to trigger events when a BT device is recognised.

Hi, so as to try to find the root cause, could you indicate me what is the version of ESP32 arduino env and what is the board used?

Digitsl-dB commented 5 years ago

It is the ESP32 DEVKIT V1 The OMG is 0.8 The Arduino is 1.8.7 When I check the MQTT Broker (Mosquitto on OpenHabian running on a Pi 3) the device is online, it runs for a few weeks usually, but then it stops and no other data comes from it until I press the EN button on the board or cycle the power. Mosquitto shows it is online even if I reset Mosquitto is still shows as online but no further data.

FYI, Same thing happens here. interval for BT scan is unknown right now, but i can play around with the settings. Once in a while it will stop updating BT addresses to the MQTT broker. I also have a few esp8266 devices and those run without a hickup.

I was thinking to just put a timer clock between the ESP and the power supply, so that it daily gets a powercut, but other solutions are preferred ofcourse.

1technophile commented 5 years ago

Would it be possible with the latest version from the dev branch to issue this command once the gateway stop publishing BLE data: mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoBT/set -m '{"interval":0}'

this should generate a scan and we will see if it wake up the BLE components

RaZer0r commented 5 years ago

will do, upgrading from latest dev branch now

1technophile commented 5 years ago

For info i'm going to commit some modification to enable auto reconnection to mqtt broker when the disconnection last more than 1 minutes. This issue was maybe the root cause of your problem.

1technophile commented 5 years ago

Modification done in dev branch. I hope it will solve the issue of OMG being online and not publishing data.

Could you test it and if the test are not successfull I will add a restart function?

1technophile commented 5 years ago

My esp32 is working since several weeks now I'm closing this issue, if yours are not working properly and you need this restart function don't hesitate to reopen
