Presence Sensors not installing ESPHome 2024.5.1

fifthecho commented 4 months ago

When trying to install the latest ESPHome, I get the following message:

ERROR Error binary size: Error: ESP does not have enough space to store OTA file. Please try flashing a minimal firmware (remove everything except ota)

I'm using a super-basic config:

substitutions:
  name: athom-presence-sensor-<MAC>
  friendly_name: athom-presence-<LOCATION>
packages:
  Athom_Technology.Presence_Sensor: github://athom-tech/athom-configs/athom-presence-sensor.yaml
esphome:
  name: ${name}
  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
api:
  encryption:
    key: <KEY>
wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

jpettitt commented 4 months ago

The binary size jumped from 612k to 660k between 2024.5.0 and 2024.5.1

My Workaround

Downgrade to 5.4.0 (should be in system -> backups in HA)
If 5.4 installs cleanly you're good to go.
If it still complains about not enough space try rebooting the sensor before the update.
If that fails open the config and comment out the encryption in the encryption stanza in the config. (this should produce a binary around 529k)
Rebuild and install, it should now be small enough.
Once it reboots the 5.4 code uncomment the encryption and install again.

This has worked for my sensors.

tarontop commented 4 months ago

At present, the fastest and most convenient solution is to download the firmware locally to the computer, and then use your own data cable to flash the firmware directly. You only need to connect the data cable.

tarontop commented 4 months ago

We may need to add

 platformio_options:
    board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld
    board_upload.maximum_size = 2097152

The chip is 2MB, while the default configuration is 1MB

example

esphome:
  name: "${name}"
  friendly_name: "${friendly_name}"
  name_add_mac_suffix: true
  project:
    name: "${project_name}"
    version: "${project_version}"
    platformio_options:
       board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld
       board_upload.maximum_size = 2097152

Very good idea, but where could I download the ESP-Firmware? At this page ( https://github.com/athom-tech/athom-configs/releases/tag/2023.8.3 ) only a FW from Sep2023 is available.

nickmcgill commented 4 months ago

Within ESPHome, click on the three dots of the device to update, select install, then manual download.

Mika255 commented 4 months ago

We may need to add

 platformio_options:
    board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

The chip is 2MB, while the default configuration is 1MB

example

esphome:
  name: "${name}"
  friendly_name: "${friendly_name}"
  name_add_mac_suffix: true
  project:
    name: "${project_name}"
    version: "${project_version}"
    platformio_options:
       board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

@tarontop did this work for you? It didn't help. It's still showing 1mb with the following config

packages:
  Athom_Technology.Presence_Sensor: github://athom-tech/athom-configs/athom-presence-sensor.yaml
esphome:
  name: ${name}
  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
  platformio_options:
    board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

nickmcgill commented 4 months ago

I had to do this in two steps. First ota update with

substitutions:
  name: athom-presence-sensor-xxxxxx
  friendly_name: Athom presence sensor
#packages:
#  Athom_Technology.Presence_Sensor: github://athom-tech/athom-configs/athom-presence-sensor.yaml
esphome:
  name: ${name}
  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
  platformio_options:
    board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

esp8266:
  board: esp8285
ota:
logger:

api:
  encryption:
    key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

Second ota update:

substitutions:
  name: athom-presence-sensor-xxxxxx
  friendly_name: Athom presence sensor
packages:
  Athom_Technology.Presence_Sensor: github://athom-tech/athom-configs/athom-presence-sensor.yaml
esphome:
  name: ${name}
  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
  platformio_options:
    board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

#esp8266:
#  board: esp8285
#ota:
#logger:

api:
  encryption:
    key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

This works for me. I couldn't update in one go. I assume that the existing firmware was compiled for a 1 Mb chip so rejected the modified upgrade. I could be wrong!

Sorry about the multiple edits, struggling with formatting (rtfm!)

HaraldGithub commented 4 months ago

This works for me.

Sorry for asking, but could you explain how I've to do this steps:

where have I to copy the code in
how could I start the OTA process
what is important

Thank you very much!

nickmcgill commented 4 months ago

I use ESPHome within HomeAssistant, so I can only help you from that. HA/ESPHome should have detected and adopted the presence sensor. From the ESPHome addon (in HA) you will see the ESPHome devices (mine is still called Athom Presence Sensor). On the bottom of the device card, there is "visit, edit, logs". Click on "edit", edit the code, then top right of the editor is "install"

I hope that makes sense.

HaraldGithub commented 4 months ago

Yes, that make sense and I'm using also HA.

I'll try and report here!

Update: For me, it doesn't work. I still receive the message: Not enough memory/space.

nickmcgill commented 4 months ago

I had that initially, then I commented out the "packages" entries and added

esp8266:
  board: esp8285
ota:
logger:

and installed it wirelessly - that's the "minimal" firmware that worked for me.

2nd step was to uncomment the "packages" entries and comment out my additions, then install that.

You will need to set the encryption key to your setting not "xxxxxx" (similarly with the device name)

HaraldGithub commented 4 months ago

Only to make it clear:

Frist I should use this yaml (replaced with my specific key):

substitutions: name: athom-presence-sensor-xxxxxx friendly_name: Athom presence sensor '#'packages: '#' Athom_Technology.Presence_Sensor: github://athom-tech/athom-configs/athom-presence-sensor.yaml esphome: name: ${name} name_add_mac_suffix: false friendly_name: ${friendly_name} '#' platformio_options: '#' board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

esp8266: board: esp8285 ota: logger:

api: encryption: key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=

wifi: ssid: !secret wifi_ssid password: !secret wifi_password

than second installation with:

substitutions: name: athom-presence-sensor-xxxxxx friendly_name: Athom presence sensor '#'packages: '#' Athom_Technology.Presence_Sensor: github://athom-tech/athom-configs/athom-presence-sensor.yaml esphome: name: ${name} name_add_mac_suffix: false friendly_name: ${friendly_name} platformio_options: board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

'#'esp8266: '#' board: esp8285 '#'ota: '#'logger:

api: encryption: key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=

wifi: ssid: !secret wifi_ssid password: !secret wifi_password

right?

(formation this post is an extra challenge!

nickmcgill commented 4 months ago

On the first, do not comment out

  platformio_options:
    board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

because that is what is needed to access more memory (I think). On the second installation you need to uncomment the "packages" section

You seem to have quotes round the # marks for some reason - they should not be there. '# is a comment, uncomment by deleting the #'

HTH

nickmcgill commented 4 months ago

Formatting: use

text

to get the pretty formatting (they are back-ticks)

HaraldGithub commented 4 months ago

Okay than like this:

first:

substitutions:
name: athom-presence-sensor-xxxxxx
friendly_name: Athom presence sensor
#packages:
# Athom_Technology.Presence_Sensor: github://athom-tech/athom-configs/athom-presence-sensor.yaml
esphome:
name: ${name}
name_add_mac_suffix: false
friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
 platformio_options:

esp8266:
board: esp8285
ota:
logger:

api:
encryption:
key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=

wifi:
ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
password: !secret wifi_password

second:

substitutions:
name: athom-presence-sensor-xxxxxx
friendly_name: Athom presence sensor
#packages:
# Athom_Technology.Presence_Sensor: github://athom-tech/athom-configs/athom-presence-sensor.yaml
esphome:
name: ${name}
name_add_mac_suffix: false
friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
# platformio_options:
# board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

#esp8266:
#board: esp8285
#ota:
#logger:

api:
encryption:
key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=

wifi:
ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
password: !secret wifi_password

If this is correct, I'll try again.

nickmcgill commented 4 months ago

No, second attempt uncomment the packages and platformio sections

substitutions:
name: athom-presence-sensor-xxxxxx
friendly_name: Athom presence sensor
packages:
  Athom_Technology.Presence_Sensor: github://athom-tech/athom-configs/athom-presence-sensor.yaml
esphome:

name_add_mac_suffix: false
friendly_name: ${friendly_name}

   board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

#esp8266:
#board: esp8285
#ota:

api:
encryption:

wifi:

The indentations have disappeared - they need to be correct too

HaraldGithub commented 4 months ago

Thank you, now it work's for me!

nickmcgill commented 4 months ago

jpettitt commented 4 months ago

So I did a build using the 2 step method above and it worked, however any attempt to send another build fails with this error

Unless I reboot the device first.

I also noticed that it's still saying I obnly have 1M of flash despite the board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

nickmcgill commented 4 months ago

I'm getting the same reported 1M flash, and initially got errors on subsequent install attempts. It now installs every time. I've no idea what's going on.

propi62 commented 4 months ago

for me its not installing. i will wait some time and hope it will install one day.

GVDub commented 4 months ago

Looks like this worked for me. Guess we'll know for sure at the next ESPHome update, right?

BTW, don't forget to backup your code before editing and validate your new code before trying to install. Great way to make sure that any copy/paste functions didn't hose you indentations.

HaraldGithub commented 4 months ago

Also for the new ESP-Update 2024.5.3 I've to do the two steps from above!

nickmcgill commented 4 months ago

My update went through without any problems. "Update all" from the ESPHome addon worked first time.

HaraldGithub commented 4 months ago

How look's your yaml-code before you click "Update all"?

Like this:

substitutions:
  name: athom-presence-sensor-xxxxxx
  friendly_name: Athom presence sensor
packages:
  Athom_Technology.Presence_Sensor: github://athom-tech/athom-configs/athom-presence-sensor.yaml

nickmcgill commented 4 months ago

No, you need to uncomment the following lines

#  platformio_options:
#    board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

so they are

  platformio_options:
    board_build.ldscript: eagle.flash.2m.ld

and keep them like that for all subsequent builds otherwise it will revert to the 1M setting (I believe)

HaraldGithub commented 4 months ago

Okay, thank you, but I think I've had this like you replay - so we'll see at next Update of ESPhome. ;-)

GVDub commented 4 months ago

Just a data point. OTA updates for 2024.5.4 worked flawlessly for me with the revised YAML code.

HaraldGithub commented 4 months ago

Same here! :-)

tarontop commented 3 months ago

It seems that this is the problem
