Sonoff Basic R2 Intermittent connectivity issues #1139

Closed huta76 closed 4 years ago

huta76 commented 4 years ago

I'm new to HAA and have 2 issues:

  1. Pairing is really difficult. After a lot of times, it happens but takes a number of times of performing the same thing. Is this normal?
  2. I notice the switch on Home keeps losing connectivity and establishing it again. I have a couple of switches on standard Sonoff firmware paired through Homebridge and this never happens. Ultimate goal is to eliminate homebridge. Any settings that can be tinkered with please?

Excellent system otherwise! Keep up the good work!

Hi, everything has already been solved in closed issues. First of all verify that the installation was completed correctly, you can capture log with this command nc -kulnw0 45678. If you want to add the device again, you have to reset HomeKit ID in device. Regarding devices that do not responding try to use Merlin firmware in your router, it helped to me.

Thank you for your reply. I have since upgraded to latest 3.4.2 but unresponsiveness persists. I have since done a bit more troubleshooting, and I can still ping the device so, wifi connectivity is not the issue. If I press a button on the switch, it somehow "clicks" it back into connectivity. I am currently using the Arris Cable modem supplied by provider. Will look into this Merlin firmware though. Thanks for your input.

Thanks again Ondratan... that was really helpful. I think it was my LG OLED. It was also stuck on No response most of the time. I removed it from the Homekit config. I also restarted the router and it seems to be stable. I will continue testing and update. I think this should be part of the wiki and would be more than happy to contribute and document this for other newbies not to be turned off by this thinking that it is unstable

I can confirm all is good and stable. Thanks for all your help
