After update to newest FW - low uptime, OpenHAB MQTT, LWT problems

agsochi commented 5 years ago

I update 4 Wemos D1 mini from Mega FW v2.0.0-dev11 to fw mega-20181121, mega-20181203, mega-20181207 All new FW have low uptime, and LWT works not correct. I use mosquitto 1.4.8 on Ubuntu x86

OpenHAB MQTT settings:
Controller lwl topic: /%sysname%/online
LWT Connect Message: 1 
LWT Disconnect Message: 0 

in Advanced settings:
MQTT use unit name as ClientId: yes
MQTT change ClientId at reconnect: yes

Rules=yes

ESP_Easy_mega-20181121_normal_ESP8266_4096.bin

Some times LWT shows 0, but data from sensor updated correct. Modules with RSSI 40-50 have uptime around 10 hours, with RSSI 70-80 from 1 min to several hours. In older FW all modules has a mounths uptime. How i can to catch the core of problem?

How i can to catch the core of problem?

That's something we are trying to find out ourselves too for months now :(

agsochi commented 5 years ago

I try to change many setting in ESPEasy, but it didnt help. Then i try to tune up my Mikrotik Router, and all ESP works fine since i make that changes - no disconnect, LWT always ok. I use this article https://gregory-gost.ru/routers/ Here is main settings: default default

I think important changes was made in ESP SDK, not ESP FW

Maybe I should also buy one of those Mikrotik things for testing purposes, since I don't have so many wifi issues here. That one seems to be able to configure almost anything, which makes it easier to use for debugging. My Fritzbox stuff doesn't have all those nifty settings which may cause issues ;)

Edit: Which one should I buy for testing purposes?

All Mikrotik home/office APs

I guess buying one of the cheapest is best for this purpose, since it will probably also be the one used the most. (and better for the 'gadget budget')

OS is the same on all devices, mAP lite has PoE in

TD-er commented 5 years ago

Just as an update, I ordered the mAP lite. It was said to have "level 4 license Mikrotik", whatever that means :)

So after Thursday I may be able to test with that unit also.

LeeNX commented 5 years ago

Mikrotik's are like little Linux server/routers. Level 4 license has covered my routers for quite a few years through major and minor updates. https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:License has more details, thou I don't think this will be any problem.

Package details can be found at - https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:System/Packages

I prefer to use the WebFig and Quick set - https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Quickset

And using WISP Mode, does a few pre-config bits, that have an internet WAN port and other ports as a LAN and WiFi, with way too many things that can be changed.

Be warned! I have locked myself out of a few test Mikrotik devices, because I did something silly.

I personally always have a backup device with config downloaded and flashed in to replace a device I have locked myself out, but that is just me.

Hope that helps.

@TD-er:

hAP mini is nice and cheap, with three LAN ports - Good Dev/Test buy
hAP lite also nice, four LAN ports - Can't go wrong, with more ports
mAP lite I think too costly and too little features

I like hAP ac lite TC with dual 2.4Ghz/5Ghz radios or it's bigger brother hAP ac² with dual 2.4/5Ghz radios and Gigabit ethernet ports. Both have USB port to connect LTE or 3G backup device, thou I have not yet completed fail-over setup for critical network devices.

All devices run RouterOS, which looks a feels the same across all devices. Some times a little slower on lower end devices, but WebFig or ssh into devices to monitoring or setup.

Best of luck!

In Winbox (soft for configuration setup) exist "Safe Mode" button in top left corner. If you turn it on, you may do anything, and if you lost connection to router (block yourself or what-else) router revert back all setting to bring back your connection. When your setting is ok, simply turn off "Safe mode". Always use "Safe mode"

LeeNX commented 5 years ago

@agsochi - Thanks, nice to know. Don't really use Windows myself, so unless I load a VM or WINE, not really an option for me, but for people who do use Windows, can be a recovery route.

I also like the ssh scripting, which might be a little more advanced, really nice for deploying scripts used often or basic pre-configs.

I feel Mikrotik give you many options, like The Dude and so on.

agsochi commented 5 years ago

Safe Mode exist in WebFig too, look at bottom buttons.

I tried your changes in my Mikrotik, with no success. My unit that has been working for 30 days (end november version) with a Linksys, freezed in less than 48 hours with a Mikrotik with the changes above... I wonder why...

TD-er commented 5 years ago

I use the somewhat default settings of the Mikrotik, but I think these screenshots posted here are a bit useless. The new interface has apparently changed and I don't see how to get all the supplied settings into 1 screenshot. I need either a bigger monitor, or at least 6 screenshots at 1200 pixel height.

The 'advanced' part of my config here is:

The Sonoff POW (r1) connected to this AP was running for 31 days before I had to reboot it for todays updates. The underlined settings in the older screenshots are different here. The default Disconnect Timeout is rather short, so increasing that one is not a bad idea I guess.

N.B. last night I added a small update to the WiFi code as suggested here: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues/1987#issuecomment-451644424

clumsy-stefan commented 5 years ago

@TD-er change "Distance" to something like 25 or even 45.... and in the security settings (where the WPA settings are) to a rekeeying of 1h (instead of 5min), most likely it will improve the situation significantly... increasing disconnect timout didn't help for me...

TD-er commented 5 years ago

I will re-open this issue, since it contains valuable information.

TD-er commented 2 years ago

Should be fixed by these PRs:

Please let me know if it is indeed fixed now... finally
