[Bug] Data mix between AIMesh Router and Node

[5a5cha]

The problem

Hi, looks like there is a bug since 0.23.x in the code regarding the data-points between Router and Node in an AIMesh configuration.

After recognising the issue i did a complete uninstall and reinstall and reconfigure with 0.23.6. After adding the Router and set all configs i activated the CPU temp sensor. It gets the following temperatures as shown in the first screenshot below.

After checking for a while i added the AIMesh Node and set the config to "AIMesh Node". Both are GT-AX11000 Router running latest MarlinWRT. After activating also the CPU Temp the Sensor of the Router get also the data from the Node CPU Temp.

Good to know: After adding the Node to the config by default the CPU Temp sensor is disabled. Before enable the sensor i did a check on the Router CPU Temp data and it looks correct. So the issue occurs after enable the CPU Temp sensor from Node.

After only deleting the Node from the config the Router Temp sensor goes back to normal temp.

Can't exactly tell the version the issue starts because I've only trigger on to high temps and not to low or equal... maybe for further falls checks ;-)

Looks like the same behaviour as #683

@5a5cha, Please, check version 0.23.7and let me know whether the issue persists

[5a5cha]

Looks good after reboot of HA, @Vaskivskyi Will do some config stuff today since i uninstalled AsusWRT and bet on your horse :-)

Set reminder for tomorrow and give some final feedback

[5a5cha]

@Vaskivskyi, oh boy. Looks more like an generic issue in the integration :-) After update from 0.23.6 to 0.23.7 i activated the RAM Sensor for the Node. And in the Screenshot below is the result of the Router RAM Sensor after enable RAM Sensor Node.

RAM from Webinterface:

Both show the same value with 0.23.7

Edit: Also checked the CPU Usage. Shows also the same data for Router and AP.

Ok, after activating the temperature sensors on router and ap the integration seems to be crashed...

Restarting HA (real restart not fast restart) seems to bring the integration back

[5a5cha]

Here we go again... Also after enable the temp sensors for network the CPU Temp is getting wild again...

hello. i update to version 23.7 and have this problem. The main router and the 3 mesh nodes, have the same temperature, ram and cpu. With the version of last weeks, this problem not exist.

[Vaskivskyi]

Hey, guys. Thanks for your replies and sorry that I cannot help faster. I am working on it and will try to fix it soon. But I don't have too much free time during the working week (and AsusRouter is just a hobby project)

[DAVIZINH0]

dont worry man!!! your live is more important!!! tell us when you release a fix and i will test

[5a5cha]

+1 No problem man. It's done when it's done.

I did some tests and from my point there seems to be a big issue between 0.22.x and 0.23.x in the function of the backend. Especially if one is using more then one devices.

In 0.22. there was an option to define a name for the device. This name was also used from the integration to set the entity-ids for all the stuff like sensors and so on. In 0.23, this option is gone. Instead the backend generates the entity-ids by the device name. which is in my case two times "gt_ax11000".

An idea to solve the issue: instead of using the device name to generate the entiry-ids of HA use the host ip. this is 100% unique.

This is very interesting information but In my case i have: 1 ax89x as router 3 ax5400 as 3 mesh nodes

And the information of temperature, cpu and ram. its the same in the 4 routers. If the problem was the names, i will have the same in the 3 ax5400 but diferent in the ax89x. not?

[5a5cha]

You're right, sir.

@Vaskivskyi, with 0.24.0b3 the issue still exists

[5a5cha]

@Vaskivskyi, with 0.24.2 the issue still exists

[Vaskivskyi]

I am still working on this issue. I will let you know as soon as there is any update on this. Unfortunately, without having an actual 2-devices setup, it's rather hard for me to test this, so it might take some time

Hello, I have the same problem with an RT-AX92. When I integrate the Access Point and then the AiMesh node everything is fine. When I restart home assistant, the data from the Access Point and the AiMeish node becomes identical.

Good night

The issue with mixing data between instances is fixed in version 0.26.0. Please, check it out. In case you are still experiencing such troubles, reopen this issue or open a new one

[DAVIZINH0]

problem is fixed.

Thanks for your work!
