Hello. I recently moved my supervised installation from an SD Card to an SSD on a Raspberry Pi 3B. I loaded my installation from a previous snapshot and everything seemed to be working fine.
However, something seems to be up with my ESPHome installation. I tried installing a new configuration to an ESP8266 (NodeMCU), but when I do it causes my Home Assistant instance to stop responding (frontend loses connection) which results in me needing to restart the box manually.
I’ve had the same thing happen on a number of occasions, I’m running HA in docker on a 3B+, sometimes when I compile a new yaml HA will either restart (which I would assume is due to the box running out of RAM and having to go to swap) or less frequently the entire OS hangs, stops responding to SSH and then I have to physically unplug the power supply to get it to respond again… I didn’t see anything suspicious (ar rather anything at all) in HA logs when that happens, I assume the issue is more to do directly with ESPHome and the underlying OS…
Yeah I’m finding it difficult to get the logs out as they reset upon restarting the HA instance. After choosing the command to install manually, it does seem to be the compiling that’s killing the instance, which is odd as I’ve had it working on this device before I switched to an SSD. Below is the output of the compiling before it goes offline
When ESPHome is installed as an add-on it appears as an icon on the left side. Here you click and then you enter ESPHome. If ESPhome is installed on a different computer and not integrated as an add-on, I wonder how the integration works?
You could even use the public online compiler https://web.esphome.io/
(you don’t need the addon integrated on HA, you only need esphome to compile, after that the esp module works with ha directly)
