Hi guys,
I wanted to get into esphome in hope to run local smart plugs. I found a suitable plug as per this thread Flashable UK smart plugs
I flashed it and everything seemed great yet I’m being plagued by constant disconnections
I’ve checked my wifi (ORBI) and everything is fine, the wifi signal is steady around -71db
I can’t seem to find the cause as the intervals are random.
when I run the esphome logs in the add-on everything looks okay and it works fine, yet randomly it will appear unavailable in HA
below is the yml file I uploaded
