ntp server in 5.18 not working, causing not to connect to hoymiles

[bwired-nl]

I updated to 5.18 because 5.17 was very instable. 5.18 handles much better, only problem is that i cannot get NTP to work The date keeps on ESP-Time: 1.1.1970, 00:00:00 THIS was working good on 5.17 I tried serveral ntp servers , windows, google, diff pool.ntp.org, local ntp server of my synology rebooted several times etc etc but I cannot get it to work, beacuse the NTP is not working I cant connect to the Hoymiles also MQtt is updating every 30 secs version only

NTP is only queried on Start of ESP and every 12 hours. I would also vote to update it via Button in Setup UI or at least after saving. Did you restart your ESP after saving ?

OK got it 🙂 i see ntp is loading!! 🙂 its something else, looks like it reboots . see below log hope you can help me! thanks

In my case it work normaly. Can somebody check that too?

@bwired-nl you are running a debug build and not the release build. Could you flash / revert your ESP to use the release build. The debug build has several debug flags enabled that show a lot of events from the ESP Arduino core libraries, e.g. the following WiFi events. Without these events being logged memory and IO resources of the ESP are lower and the release build should run more stable.

wifi evt: 0

Also your nRF24 Module is set to PA_HIGH, is this necessary because your module does not have an external antenna ? And do you have an ~100uF electrolytic capacitor connected to the VCC 3.3V and GND Pins 1 & 2 of your NRF24 Module to stabilize its power source ?

@bwired-nl could you fix the issues in communication?

got now feedback, seems to be solved.
