I2C installed but Argon device is missing

[YanisKyr]

This worked alright for me for a week or so but now it stops a few seconds after it starts. See below for what’s showing in the logs.

Any help to get it back on track would be much appreciated.

[javierpal]

any updates?

[adamoutler]

Looks like hardware failure. You should try the Argon One official script and see if it works. If not, contact Argon Support. If it does work then I have no ideas. You should be seeing 1a. There is no 1a. The hardware i2c appears to be disconnected.

[YanisKyr]

Is it possible to try the official script while Home Assistant is running on the same system?

[adamoutler]

Yes. Just insert a different sdcard

[javierpal]

weird that this error show up to both of us at almost the same time, don't you think?

[adamoutler]

Its been happening a lot lately. It's not something I can address with software. You have i2c port, and you have a device connected to the i2c port or you don't. In this case you have a port and no device connected. You should see a 1a or 1b there.

maybe a design flaw in the raspberry PI hardware?

[adamoutler]

Probably Argon hardware. The Pi is a chip and a wire that goes to the chip. If it breaks your i2c port would probably be gone. The Argon is an additional system attached to it. That's why you should contact them.

[adamoutler]

I've never heard back on this issue, although this is like the 10th time. Please report back whatever you find. It would be nice to know if it's something disconnected, EEPROM setting, or something like the wrong power supply... I'd like to know so I don't keep getting these drawn out threads here and on the forums.

[YanisKyr]

My Argon's internal fan has stopped running since a couple of days actually. Not sure if it's broken completely though as the addon is still giving me the error and therefore not managing it.

The ultimate goal was to have the fan start above 45C while keeping it cool inside a cupboard with a couple of Noctuas.

That said, if I find the time, I will investigate further and keep you posted.

[unCleanCode]

Having the same problem. Appeared just recently, I believe after OS update

[adamoutler]

What do the logs say?

Hi, I faced a similar issue after a kernel update. Restoring and reinstalling repositories and programs did not help.

But the following worked for me: I connected the ssd m.2 to my computer via usb, then found the configuration file, and uncommented all the lines containing 'i2c'. After that the problem disappeared!

Привет, я столкнулся с аналогичной проблемой после обновления ядра. Восстановление, и переустановка репозиториев и программ не помогли.

Но мне помогло следующее: Я подключил ssd m.2 к своему компьютеру через usb, после нашёл файл конфигурации, и разкомментировал все строки содержащие в себе "i2c". После этого проблема исчезла!

I have dealt with the same issue (sudden regression after an unknown update). I managed to resolve it through some combination of

• re-flash HA to the SD card, restore from backup while not using the Argon case
• enable I2C by modifying the SD card
• reboot many times

[javierpal]

Recently I lost electricity on my building, I had to power off my raspberry pi, and keep it without power for at least 2 hours, what happened? well, the addon started working fine after home assistant booted up, and as you can see, I had the problem for a looong time, so then, it seems that maybe is not a hardware problem as @adamoutler said, maybe is a software problem, the fan didn't stopped working in all this time, just the software implementation.

[adamoutler]

The biggest problem I've had is people installing the wrong version from somebody else and expecting support from me. It's really easy

1. Argon One
2. HAOS
3. Enable i2c
4. Start this addon. Nothing follows
