AlexxIT/Sonoff Lan and eWeLink not auto polling

Configuration
1

I’m just starting to have an issue of the AlexxIT/Sonoff Lan and eWeLink not auto polling the devices and updating the status of the device correctly. I manually either have to click on the circle icon (get device list) or the Snyc Lovelace Card in the eWeLink Smart Home Addon for both of these to display the current status. Any one know where to repair/fix the polling of the devices in Home Assistant (Yellow) on a PI(4).

I use a different integration for Sonoff which works much better.

I have that loaded also and it is also not polling

Figured out the issue! It was a weak Wifi Signal causing dropout. reposition those that were having the issue and proper polling was restored.

It would be nice if the Add-on also showed Wifi Signal strength. -20dB to -55 dB is a great signal. Approaching -60 dB and strange anomalies start to happen.

Looks like another AP will be needed at my location.

Well the HA polling issue is back, I have watch all my devices and they are proper operating on the schedule set in the eWeLink App (phone app), so those are communicating with the wifi to get the time for the schedule. Both of the eWeLink Add-on dashboard/card and the AlexxIT/Sonoff dashboard card are not updating (only partially). If I click on the circle icon (Gets Device List) on the eWeLink Add-on dashboard all are updated correctly. I’m trying to track down the problem, to see if this broke (frontend/backend/Matter/etc changes) because of updates in December. It was working fine to then. Any one else having Sonoff/eWeLink updating issues?

After digging deeper, this looks like a frontend end issue of the dashboards not updating the cards or themselves correctly. Any way to get to the frontend and see what is happening and why?

I found out why I had my issue. I had a incomplete network setup, why it still functioned 95% of the time is for the programmers. But once I hard set my network completely (went from DHCP to static address in the Home Assistant - Yellow) , including the DNS entry, everything took off running. Why network settings that were DHCP kept the HA from communication/Polling the Sonoffs I still don’t understand. But it is working again.
