Looks like I might have something else going on then. I’ll first verify that all my devices were downgraded to 2023.11 and none clung on to 2023.12, but I had over 5 excursions of >2min downtime on my router in the last 10 hours. Almost appears worse after the reboot.
ehmmm… None of the devices have same hostname? (Saw a post about something similar and there was 2 devices had same hostname so that makes lot of trouble)
It may be that I’m just pushing the limits of my router. I have this TP-Link router acting as a wired router. To test some things out I disabled the DHCP server and had my NAS take over that role. It’s only been a limited time but performance seems to be significantly improved. I switched back to the router acting as the DHCP server again today to double check and my uptime dropped from 100% to 76% by the time I was home from work.
I’m currently waiting for the RMA replacement for the router that I initiated earlier. It’s possible that a factory reset would have cleared things up, but I didn’t want to loose all of my DHCP reservations and have to spend all the time to re-implement them. It may be in the end that my router issue wasn’t related to ESPHome, but my Sonoffs have been rock solid since downgrading to the 2023.11 release.
To bad. But a factory reset after your write down if export dhcp list. So you know what device got what IP. (All my devices that are in HA have a static IP).
You can see if this will solve the issue. Instead of waiting for RMA. Because then you need to do the same step also…
Hi All,
Does one of you to the step to update ESP with latest version ESPHome?
If so, is the issue with wifi solved?
Im to scare to update… my whole network was totally screwed up…
All my devices running 2023.11.6 since 29 januari without any issue!
Did you establish what the problem was? Perhaps check changelog to see what has changed?
I have updated without problem.
Are you using a static ip?
unclear. Problem was at certain moment ESP devices were unreachable at all. Reboot router didn’t help as well. Had to flash the esp devices via serial connection.
@mcarty all my devices have a static ip. Not only ESP devices.
My main issues went away after switching my DHCP server and rolling back to 2023.11.6, but still some intermittent dropouts. I think I’m finally going to bite the bullet and upgrade to the latest ESPhome before I accumulate a full year’s worth of changes. If I have any issues I may try to flash the devices directly from the serial interface. If that fails I’ll just segregate my Sonoff plugs in a way that they never update beyond 11.6 but still allow my other devices to update.
