EspHome 2022.12.8 Appears to have killed DHT sensor on Sonoff

Had taken me a while but managed to get a DHT22/AM2302 working on my Sonoff TH10. Has worked perfectly for weeks. After the upgrade to EspHome 2022.12.8 tonight I see this…

This is really frustrating… and not the first time something has imploded after an EspHome update.

I am almost at the stage now where I feel I need to backup all the binaries on my ESP32’s before upgrading. I took a backup before the upgrade, and restored it, but that doesn’t seem to work.

I can only assume there is something I need to change in the code? Ideas greatly appreciated.

Show your DHT sensor config.

Here you go…

            auto hour = id(ha_time).now().hour;
            return hour > 12 || hour < ${off_hour};
      then:
      - light.turn_on:

Hasn’t changed in a long time.

Ok, I was looking to see if you had the model defined (auto can be problematic). You do so that’s not it.

You could try specifying DHT22 and see if that changes anything.

Tried DHT22 as part of troubleshooting… but no good. Opened a ticket on github, so will see what advice comes back.

I usually don’t bother updating my ESPHome devices unless there is a new feature I want.

Good advice, thanks Tom.
