Hi,

my devices are now failing the compilation with the following log:

Esphome killing home assistant
#2

I’m having the same problem:

ESPHOME v2022.9.1
Home Assistant 2022.9.5
Supervisor 2022.09.1
Operating System 9.0

It is running on an RPI 4 1GB - 64 bit

From what I understand from reading other users, the problem arises using the 64bit version ;

I tried running ESPHOME on windows 10 with python ; but I can’t finish the configuration of a D1 mini

This is quite frustrating, it is a now critical component for Home assistant.

I hope to find a solution quickly.

I have the same situation and I am having a lot of trouble.

I had the same problem using the ESPhome UI within the Home Assistant addon, until I pressed the button ‘update all’ in de right hand corner (I only have one device) and then it compiled and updated fine.

Edit: nvm it seems to fail there as well, sometimes it works fine other times I get the error.

#6

I tried to compile on HA Addon, but I had the same error. Than, I intsalled ESPhome on windows, and compile was ok.

Installing ESPhome on windows:
https://esphome.io/guides/installing_esphome.html

I had my own yaml on my drive d:, so I just ran it. (esphome run d:\myownyaml.yaml)

It worked for me…

#7

I’m having the same issue too.
This started happening after I updated esphome, core and Home Assistant OS to latest.

Home Assistant 2022.9.6
Supervisor 2022.09.1
Operating System 9.0
Frontend 20220907.2 - latest
ESPHome: 2022.9.1

Also I have currently 19 esphome devices and shortly there will be more than 30 and I don’t want to unless there is a speceific reason since there is constantly an update anyways and compilation+update takes long especially for all the devices. (also, don’t fix it if it’s not broken)

Did anyone find a fix for this?

#8

ok I updated one of the older devices which had an available update, now it seems like the new device is compilig.

#9

Try stopping all other addons before compiling, for me on Pi3 it seems to be a RAM related issue.
After stopping all other addons it worked.

That worked for me. I did just a restart.
Thx !!

I opened a terminal on HA while compiling with ESPHome. On a Raspberrypi4 with 1G of ram it looks like it almost run out of memory:

I found this conversation which acknowledge there seems to be a problem with lack of memory on Raspberrypis: Esphome killing home assistant

My work-a-round was to build home assistant in a virtuabox on my iMac.
From there I was able to update or change my esphome.

Been able to publish setting to my esphome device using Raspberry pi 4 instead of my Raspberry Pi 3b on which I run my current HA setup. Might have something to do with avalaible ram.

#14

esphome 2022.11.0 fixes that by adding support for a new config:

esphome:
  ...
  compile_process_limit: 1

The compile_process_limit: 1 fixed my problem - thanks. Just to clarify for other newbies like me - it is in the script of the individual ESPhome device and not in the global config jaml file.

Question: Is there a way I can set this on a global level for all ESPhome scripts so I don’t have to specify it for every individual device?

Thank you for this, based on my experience today, either disabling other plugins to have some room on memory or limiting worked.

#17

The compile_process_limit: 1 fixed my problem too with Raspberry pi 3+B
Thank you!

#18

I read somewhere else that you can also set a default_compile_process_limit in the options of ESPHome now. For me it worked and solved it without altering the individual esphome devices.

Settings → Add-ons → Esphome → configuration tab → Toggle on: “Show unused optional configuration options” and then put 1 in “default_compile_process_limit”

Hello, the new flag: compile_process_limit: 1 isn’t fixing the problem for me.

I manually added it to my configuration.yaml:

esphome:
  compile_process_limit: 1

I also followed the manual steps:

Settings → Add-ons → Esphome → configuration tab → Toggle on: 
“Show unused optional configuration options” and then put 1 in 
“default_compile_process_limit”

It still fails on my Pi3:

xtensa-lx106-elf-g++: fatal error: Killed signal terminated program cc1plus
compilation terminated.
*** [/data/temp-sensor/.pioenvs/temp-sensor/src/esphome/components/web_server_base/web_server_base.cpp.o] Error 1
========================= [FAILED] Took 77.53 seconds =========================

I’m going to try and kill processes to free up memory but just know that the new flag doesn’t work for everyone.

Any advice or suggestions are very welcome!

Thank you.

I have the same problem on RPi3 so I manually stopped addons like Editor, Terminal, everything I don’t currently need and then the compilation ran fine.
