ESPHome devices connect to WIFI but not API. Some work, some not

taikapanu · June 18, 2020, 8:29am

Having some weird problem with my ESP home devices. All seem to be online looking the ESPhome addon page and the router device list. OTA update works for all of them. One works on home assistant and most show “unavailable”. Some show logs and some says

WARNING Initial connection failed. The ESP might not be connected to WiFi yet (Error connecting to 192.168.2.216: [Errno 111] Connection refused).

I noticed first that my ESP32 reading pulses from main energy meter becomes unavailable every now and then. Everything has been working months without a glitch (that I have noticed at least).

I rebooted the ESP32 unplugging the power supply but did not seem to help. Then I OTA updated new code after power_save_mode: none. Now the real problems started. All other nodes started to act weird as well. As per first lines of this post. I tried rebooting the devices, the network equipment and finally everything. What could I do next?

For example this is what I get if uploading new code via OTA:

This is how all of them appear on ESPhome addon page

So the device kind of is connected but entities are unavailable

Running home assistant supervised on ubuntu. Version: 0.110.1
ESPHome 1.14.4
Only one device is ESP32 and others ESP8266.

I don’t see any static IP addresses in there. Unfortunately, you’ve provide boot logs for one device but error logs for another so I can’t confirm this. If you’re using DHCP (hint: don’t), perhaps the router has changed the IP addresses for your devices?

Suggest you set static IP addresses on the devices either outside the DHCP range of your router or within the range but reserved, then delete and re-add the devices in HA.

Thanks for the suggestion! It indeed was that DHCP had changed the IP address. I did not even think of that as the ESP log output still resolved the IP correctly using the xxx.local:…

house_main_power.local:6053 (192.168.2.216)

Router restart made this even worse.

So the log output can find out the IP but uses “the original” ip to read the actual logs?
Same to home assistant, it does not identify the device using the xxx.local:… but the IP when integration was made?

The very original problem of the ESP32 device was also solved by removing the dallas temperature code. It prevents the proper start up. Luckily OTA still worked so didn’t have to reflash manually.

And the most luck was I managed to to fix it while wife was not home

FarkiR · January 10, 2022, 12:11pm

my big problem was LAN WAN - conect on router internet cable to switch not to WAN, and everthing work perfekt !
i have lost 14 days to solve it !
any good answer on google

cant conect with api home assistant
