Error binary size: at Athom presense sensors

[MarkuBu]

The problem

I have several Athom presense sensors. Since the update to ESPHome 2024.5.1 or .2 I can't update the firmware. Latest installed version is 2024.5.0

Maybe I missed .1, so I'm not sure if .1 or .2 caused the issue at first

Which version of ESPHome has the issue?

2024.5.2

What type of installation are you using?

Home Assistant Add-on

Which version of Home Assistant has the issue?

2024.5.4

What platform are you using?

ESP8266

Board

Athom presense sensor PS01

I have the same issue...

Same issue here. Does anyone have a workaround/solution? Thanx! BR, Ralf

A workaround is to flash via direct-connected USB port. A pain, but better than nothing.

When I asked athom last week the size of the flash, they reported 2M - however as we're all finding it's detecting as 1M so the OTA method is failing as there's not enough space to store the update when flashing OTA.

The size increased with 5.0 so OTA upgrades have been failing ever since (ie. from 5.0 to 5.1, 5.0 to 5.2 and now 5.0 to 5.3). I can confirm 5.2->5.3 OTA also failing so just about to grab my ladder again :)

[whateverthatis]

The workaround I did is that I took the original .yaml form Athom's GitHub page and took out the webserver component and it did flash OTA and works as good as ever. I never used the webserver anyway as I'm using it through Home Assistant.

[MarkuBu]

Thanks for the work around. I forked the repo, removed the web server config and changed the link in the config yaml to the new repo

https://github.com/MarkuBu/athom-configs/blob/main/athom-presence-sensor.yaml

substitutions:
  name: athom-presence-sensor-xxxx
  friendly_name: Presence
packages:
  Athom_Technology.Presence_Sensor: github://MarkuBu/athom-configs/athom-presence-sensor.yaml
esphome:
  name: ${name}
  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
api:
  encryption:
    key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

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

Since this is just a work around and not a solution I leave this issue open

[seiferrtalle]

Thanx at all for working on workarounds!!! 👍🏻

[bdleung]

I was able to OTA from 5.3->5.4

[seiferrtalle]

Mee too. Needed some retries and restarts of the devices, but finally worked: OTA -> 5.4

[ssieb]

The size increase was fixed in 5.4.

[MarkuBu]

Great, thanks. But I think I will continue without the Webserver. I just don't need it.
