ESPHome api.connection keeps resetting

criuz · February 28, 2023, 9:23am

Hi,

I have a problem with my api connection to HA resetting about every second (or even faster). I am trying to run a ePaper display with a 18650 battery with deep sleep and wake-up every 10 minutes. Right now the battery holds for about one week, but I suppose this could be much longer when the api doesnt disconnect and reconnect so many times during the time the ESP32 is awake.

Hi,

I have a similar issue and have found your post while searching for a solution. However, my setup is way different as I don’t use deep sleep. If I were you I would try to slice the problem. As a first step I would try to disable the deep sleep and use some external power source to check the connectivity. There are quite many options in the WIFI section, it may worth considering fix ip address and fast connection as they are beneficial for the battery operated mode too. Then, if the connectivity is fixed you need to decrease the active period as much as possible to save battery life. In my experience an ESP device needs around 2-3 seconds to establish the connection to the router and send/receive some data. Beyond doubt, connecting to the router takes the most time/power and this is where both fix ip and fast connection can be advantageous.

Kind regards,
Csaba

Hi,

Is there any news on this topic. I’m getting a similar error. Well, that is, it works fine, but ever half a second I’m getting a connection reset.
For the rest the EPS application works fine. I have 2 other EPS devices, and they work well, although it is not exactly the same board.

Hi,

I’m using a ESP8266 NodeMCU V2 and a 868MHZ CC1101 board to build a remote for my ITHO mechanical ventilation box. The ESP8266 is powered via MicroUSB by a fairly new phone charger (also tried direct connection to my laptop, same result).

The remote works fine except for the fact that the ESP8266 seems to be disconnected and reconnected every minute which messes up my sensors in HA.
I’ve tried hooking it up to my MSI laptop directly via USB but this gave the exact same result. WIFI is strong and I’ve tried different locations for the ESP to see if interference was an issue.

Does anyone have an idea on what might be going on here?

mwatermann · March 22, 2024, 9:09am

I am getting the same issue. One ESP (same board) started these reset connection every few seconds. The other one works fine.
Only difference I see, is that one of them is connected via WIFI repeater, the other one directly to router.

Anything else someone found out?
