WiFi won't connect with 6.1.0a

[Stuart-Richards]

WiFi just does not connect with 6.1.0a firmware on Sonoff basic. If I connect console I see it saying it's trying to connect to 11N AP but then gives up. If I switch back to 5.14, all works just fine.

[Sealight10]

I can't use my Wemos D1 Mini module with this tasmota version 6.1 because the connection turns very unstable. I don't have this trouble with the tasmota 5.14 version. I configured the option Wifi_manager in the wifi config tool (User_config.h), I'm wondering if there are any issue? I checked my router and my module connects just for few seconds but afterward i can't get acces to the webserver. I used the tool ESPflashtool to clean the module before the flashing process. I read about the posibility to use the libraries of the 5.14 version to compile the 6.1 version but after try it i got some errors. Could somebody else confirm if they have this troubles? Thanks in advance (And sorry for my english)

Edit: Seems to be that the user Subdancer found a solution. I copy paste the solution:

In the user_config.h, find the option CFG_Holder and change from #define CFG_HOLDER 4617 to #define CFG_HOLDER 4618. Result: it works flawlessly as it should. connects instant to the wifi, no more problems. Credits to Subdancer, thanks for post the solution.

OTA upgrade invoked by the browser or MQTT doesn't work: stat/basic_woonkamer_bank/UPGRADE Failed Update error: ERROR[6]: Stream Read Timeout

Then I just upload the file manually and after the upgrade the WiFi connection looks fine but for me the webserver doesn't work anymore for me...

When I do a downgrade back to 5.14.0 throught MQTT it doesn't retain the config...

[Jason2866]

Try the prebuilt image (release) from path Master not development. Maybe your selfcompiled version is buggy...

[bastelfix]

Hi, i have the same problem with iTead sonoff basic. PCB says "Sonoff Basic R2 V1.0 2017-10-11". For me, the problem started with v5.14, I only use the precompiled DE-bin's. I have flashed also some of the "obisockets", a pow v2, some esp8266-01 and a node-mcu. All work fine with v5.14 and with the given wireless network (fritzbox, all dhcp leases cleared). But with the iTead basic, the last working version is v5.13 v5.11.1 and v5.13: working v5.14 and v6.1: not working

I flash them using a ftdi-usb with esptool 2.4.1 with the following commands: py esptool.py --port COM11 erase_region 0x0F4000 0x008000 py esptool.py --port COM11 erase_flash py esptool.py --port COM11 write_flash -fs 1MB -fm dout 0x0 sonoff.bin

I can reproduce the behavior with at least six devices.

I also tried to flash the minimal-bin and then OTA, but the OTA fails.

@bastelfix Please post result of status 0. May you try not the german version for testing. I have one NodeMcu which is working only until 5.13. But all my sonoffs do work with all versions including Sonoff Basic R2 V1.0 2017-10-11 Ich bin aus Deutschland...

Flashed a S31, Dual R2, and Basic this morning with 6.1.0b built with core 2.3.0 in PlatformIO, no issues with WiFi connections so far.

[bastelfix]

May you try with optioon for flashing speed esptool.py --port COM11 erase_flash esptool --port COM11 --baud 115200 write_flash -fs 1MB -fm dout 0x000000 firmware.bin

The --baud parameter didn't change anything BUT your advice to test with an english version was a key: v5.13-DE: working

v5.14-DE: not working v5.14: working

v6.1-DE: not working v6.1: working

tested with two devices to avoid hardware-dependency

So maybe there is a bug from v5.13-DE to v5.14-DE that only shows up at the iTead sonoff basic? Can you verify that with your device @Jason2866 ? Did anyone else experienced this with the DE-bin?

Thanks so far, Bastelfix Berlin

[Jason2866]

@bastelfix Do you have changed wifi settings in user_config.h to your setup?

[bastelfix]

no, i used precompiled release-bins

[Jason2866]

Do you have read the wiki how establishing to wifi works? https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Button-usage

[bastelfix]

of course, but i configure the wifi via serial (ftdi-usb) with the backlog command:

I was having a similar issue with two Basics with the precompiled 6.1.0 release binary. Both had been on a locally built 5.13.1 with a custom user_config_override.h before the upgrade. After the upgrade to 6.1.0, one simply wouldn't connect to wifi and the other's wifi became unstable, losing connection frequently. The uptime kept increasing when it published status updates, so it was not rebooting.

After rolling both back to a locally built 5.13.1 w/2.4.1 things seem stable again.

[subdancer]

i've had similar problems. after updating to 6.1 (release version) my sonoff didn't connect to wifi anymore.

i used the webupdater. first flashed 6.1 minimal bin. the sonoff rebooted and connected to wifi no problem so far. then i flashed the 6.1 classic bin, after a reboot the sonoff didn't work anymore. the serial terminal showed a lot of wifi connection tries but no success. it always ended with some strange symbols and started all over.

then i flashed the my old version back 5.10a. success. it was back alive connected to the wifi as it should.

then i compiled sonoff-classic snapshot from yesterday evening and flashed it via platformio. it resulted in the same behaviour as written above. after the first boot it connected to the wifi but the webui was really slow and it always lost connection after clicking through the menu. it kinda hanged itself. also when pushing the button on the sonoff the led went on and the relais clicked but after another push it didn't turn off. it kinda hanged itself and i heard the relais click like every minute.

after that try i compiled and flashed the same version again but changed the #define CFG_HOLDER 4617 to #define CFG_HOLDER 4618

result: it works flawlessly as it should. connects instant to the wifi, no more problems.

[Jason2866]

Maybe this https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Upgrade#migration-path

[reloxx13]

@arendst pls move up the Migration Information on the release page over the changelog and a fat !!!MUST READ!!!

Try this: DE, EN, Minimal bins 6.1.0a@2.3.0 builded from latest dev branch @ f9ce86a6e8c037ee267566f58b4f647e072bae3c , nothing changed, just a clean rebuild with atom+platformio on a DE windows 10 x64 DOWNLOAD 6.1.0a.zip

[Jason2866]

Info. De version 6.1.0a works too. Self compiled and @reloxx13 clean de build

[reloxx13]

i remember we had problems with a german release in the past, maybe theos IDE or system does have a charset problem.

00:01:10 RSL: empfangenes topic /status, Datengröße 1, Daten 0

i dont have those charset errors with my builds.

[rkojedzinszky]

I also had that issue, even with fresh flashing. It turned out for me that I had to undef USE_ENERGY_SENSOR for my Sonoff Basics to work with master branch. My other Sonoff devices are not affected, only the Basics.

[reloxx13]

also dont forget that wifi relevant change short mentioned here: https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/issues/3101

if you build yourself and want to debug, revert the line in your local code, rebuild and check if your connection gets stable again.

WiFi.persistent(false); // Solve possible wifi init errors

[arendst]

The binaries are provided automagically by Travis to the release. I thought Travis is a German company so it would be strange that the German translation seems to fail.

[bastelfix]

Jason2866 commented 15 hours ago Info. De version 6.1.0a works too.

The One from releases or a self-compiled one? Can you please provide a link? Then i can test with my devices.

What about the Migration Path? I thought it is only relevant if i'm upgrading from version <5 via OTA. But I flash them via serial, so this shouldnt be an issue?

At the moment i'm happy with the the english build, but it would be nice if anybody can reproduce this behaviour with DE-v5.14 or DE-v6.1 at the "Sonoff Basic R2 V1.0 2017-10-11"-Hardware so i can exclude an error made by me. (Again, ) DE-5.14 is working fine on "obisocket", esp8266-01, pow v2 and nodeMCU for me, only the basics fail to connect to wifi.

Thanks for all the support to all of you and please execuse my dirty english :)

[Jason2866]

I tried @reloxx13 and my de version, which works. reloxx13 has uploaded clean rebuild files 6 or 7 posts before Migration path is not relevant if you erase the device and do a clean flash. If you upgrade take a look how to migrate from v.5.14. You have to care!

[bastelfix]

nice, working! v5.13-DE: working

v5.14-DE: not working v5.14: working

v6.1-DE: not working v6.1-DE-reloxx13: working, connects faster (4s to 7s) than v6.1 v6.1: working, connection time 4s to 34s

all tested with two devices

If you upgrade take a look how to migrate from v.5.14. You have to care!

That should be sticky in a way as reloxx13 mentioned

[ChipStewart1]

I'm having similar problems. I can flash 5.14.0b and everything works fine. When I upgrade to 6.1, however, it won't connect. On the serial monitor, I get:

2.3? I’m on 1.85, and 1.9 is a beta.

And it seems to be uploading okay – just not connecting to WiFi afterwards. And even the OTA isn’t working for me.

Thanks,

Chip Stewart

Confusing the compiler and library versions folks. In ArduinoIDE it's the board manager section where 2.30 or 2.41 is installed.

[Jason2866]

edit not @digiblur info is for @ChipStewart1 I dont know the actual Arduino Ide Version I dont use it anymore since i "found" Platformio (Atom) and VSC. It is so much easier to use even for me as non programmer. Just follow the perfect tutorials in wiki from tasmota how to setup this IDEs. Compiling is done so easy. No hassle with files to copy somewhere and so on. Just download project from github extract to folder, "open folder" in VSC and hit button compile. Platform changes are all in platformio.ini... (This file is preconfigured from @arendst ) Thats it

[digiblur]

@jason2866 definitely lots of confusion. I already use PlatformIO

[Jason2866]

@digiblur sorry my fault. Infos is for @ChipStewart1

Hi, I had the same issue. All sonoffs (S20, 433 MHz, 4CH Pro, SC, B1...) are working well with Stable Varsion 6.1.0 and german translation

...Except the sonoff Basic. It is possible to update to minimal version 6.1.0 via OTA, but Update to "normal" version isn't possible. Device was stuck. That's how i was able to fix:

1. Used Development Version 6.1.0a (Stable version 6.1.0 isn't working for me)
2. Don't use german translation (if used, flashing via serial connections works, but no wifi connection is possible): Commented out the following in user_config.h: //#define MY_LANGUAGE de-DE // German in Germany
3. with this change I was able to update via serial connection
4. OTA Update to minimal version and then back to "normal" version isn't possible at all

Regards

Helmar

[apastuszak]

So, am I reading this right? Right now, there is no way to OTA a Sonoff Basic?

[arendst]

@apastuszak No you're not reading it right. People seem to have problems with OTA. I don't, many others do not either. So.....

[apastuszak]

It just failed on me on a Sonoff Basic. Need to disassemble and flash via serial.

[arendst]

@apastuszak if possible pls provide output of status 0

[apastuszak]

I can't connect to the device. Comes up in Wifi Manager, but attempts to connect to the AP fail. I held the button down for 40 seconds to reset the device to defaults, and same issue. 4 quick clicks to get it into wifi_manager and I an AP, but can't connect to it.

The last version I was successfully able to upgrade via wifi was 5.13.0

[arendst]

OK. onto to the serial upload then.

[apastuszak]

Just annoying since the basics are hot glued down into 3d printed boxes a friend made for me.

I had the same behavior with one of my two Basics. Console showed repeated wifi failed connection attempts (after I hooked to serial cable), and attempting to join to the Basic in AP mode would time out.

I had upgraded from a custom 5.13.1 build to the 6.1.0 release build binary. My build was prettty minimal but did have a custom timezone override. Could a sudden timezone change + something stored in RTC memory cause wifi connection issues because of a time-based dependency?

[helmar74]

Fyi: Had the same problem, using timezone99...

[apastuszak]

I have a custom timezone. But when I went from 5.13 to 5.14 I did not have a custom timezone and still have to go serial.

That does seem to be something we have in common. May be worth investigating.

[arendst]

Starting with 5.14 the timezone settings in user_config.h have changed. See releasenotes and compare user_config.h between both versions.

[apastuszak]

Would that cause wifi upgrade issues?

[arendst]

I don't think so but it explains peoples timezone issues.

[ChipStewart1]

Strange. I’m working with two Sonoff Basics that I bought together. One, I was able to flash in 5.14, then reflash in 6.1.0a. I used the 40 second hold followed by the four quick taps as mentioned by apastuszak, and was able to access the network it set up and get to the web server interface, which I then used to set everything up. It’s working fine now.

The other one – not so much. I flash in 5.14 and everything works fine. I flash in 6.1 (I tried normal and minimal) and it can’t access the APs. I use the 40/4 method, and it says it set up the web server, but my phone isn’t showing the network. I tried WifiConfig 1, 2, and 3, but no luck.

Whoops! Forgot to add the serial monitor output:

@arendst I put 5.1.4 back on my unit. But I have another one new in box with just Tasmota 5.1.4 on it. That one I can experiment with tonight.

I'm thinking there must be some kind of hardware tweak that Sonoff made and perhaps there is a rev 1 and perhaps a rev 1.1. How old is the Basic that you're testing with? I'd be willing to donate two Basics to your cause and have them drop shipped to your house directly from iTead if you PM me offline.
