I currently have exhausted my personal resources and capacity in a best effort to troubleshoot and resolve the issue, I am appealing to you for advice and suggestions.

Thank you very much, looking forward to your inputs.

I then attempted to revert back to version 1.8.2, but only to be faced with new challenges -- esphomelib_version: 1.8.2

The esphomeyaml and -lib versions need to match in order for compilation to work. So if you want to try with 1.8.2 you need to pip install esphomeyaml==1.8.2 first

As for the other issues, there's nothing magic I can help you with here, sorry. I've seen semi-similar symptoms some times but then they vanished again for whatever reason. The only way to debug this kind of stuff is to get the USB logs.

They usually contain a lot more info regarding WiFi etc and of course also work when WiFi breaks. I know it's kind of hard to have a USB connection to these sonoff devices, but without logs I can't really help here.

Some feedback:

versions need to match in order for compilation to work

  • I was able to downgrade using pip install esphomeyaml==1.8.2 and manually setting esphomeyam.esphomelib_version: 1.8.2
  • All sonoff devices are now stable with none of the reported issues (boot, alive for about 3 mins, hangs).
  • I have noticed my time option for scheduling / cron events are not working.
  • Some automation lambas do not work, I will crosscheck with the changelogs to see if features I used are compatible.

get the USB logs

  • Now that I have a base line and working system, I will gradually start upgrading (1.9.0 and increment).
  • Once I found the version causing the issues I will do VERY_VERBOSE log while connected to USB if that will help, and add the log here as a txt attachment.
  • Are there any other logs or information I should provide to assist in the trouble shooting?

More feedback:

Attempting to isolate the issue

I used 1 Sonoff Basic which was known to hang/become non-responsive with 1.9.3 and working on 1.8.2.

Environment

Xubuntu 18.04 HA 0.84.6 (pip) esphomeyaml (pip)

Symptoms

Procedure followed

Observations

  1. I revered back to 1.8.2 and started the procedure as outlined above. I installed each version in the following order based on the releases

    • 1.9.0
    • 1.9.1
    • 1.9.2
    • 1.9.3

  2. By installing and specifying each version in sequence I ended up with v1.9.3 currently running successfully on the originally reported issue

  3. Subsequently, after the tests appear successful I continued I OTA reflashed another 'problematic' Sonoffs from 1.9.3 (problematic) or 1.8.2 to 1.9.3 (version-by-version pip upgrade) and for the past 2 days they have been stable... MQTT is giving some challenges but I will address that at another stage

    • Sonoff Dual - stable.
    • Sonoff Slampher - stable
    • Sonoff Basic (RF R2 V1) - stable
    • Sonoff Touch's - Not flashed yet, status/outcome unknown

  4. I have been able to even make modifications to the yaml

Conclusion

For now, this looks like a win... yay!

OttoWinter commented 5 years ago

Well it may be a win, but it still doesn't really solve the problem. If you give me the USB logs there's much more I can do. Oh and also there have been a couple of changes in the most recent dev version for wifi, maybe they could fix this? See https://esphomelib.com/esphomeyaml/guides/faq.html#how-do-i-use-the-latest-bleeding-edge-version

meijerwynand commented 5 years ago

Well it may be a win, but it still doesn't really solve the problem

What is the possibility that is issue may be in the pip deployment or do all pip files get replace irrespective of the version upgrade e.g. (0.0.1 -> 0.0.2) or (0.0.1 -> 0.1.3)

If you give me the USB logs there's much more I can do.

Sure, but to what extent will be helpful for you? (DEBUG|VERY_VERBOSE)

I still have some Sonoff Touch's I need to reflash ( well first remove, resolder and then reflash). However, I will update them with current configuration and pips, if they work, I will revert back to 1.8.2 and upgrade to 1.9.3 direct and see if that replicates the issue.

I will close this issue now and once I redo the Touch's I will update.

most recent dev version for wifi, maybe they could fix this

Once I am happy and better understand the (reoccurring) issues on all devices I will do a bulk update and use dev. Running various versions on various devices just creates various headaches while still learning.

Thanks

Styx85 commented 5 years ago

So I tested it now for several hours with the latest dev.

MQTT is still randomly crashing but it is recovering itself, so maybe that is than another issue.
