Help request: Home Assistant Repeatedly Restarts

dmcnaugh15 · October 4, 2024, 4:57am

ISSUE:
Starting yesterday my Home Assistant began restarting repeatedly, every 5-10 minutes. Of note, there was an HA core update.

HARDWARE:
RPi4

SOFTWARE:
Core: 2024.10.0
Supervisor: 2024.09.1
Operating System: 13.1
Frontend: 20241002.2

STEPS TAKEN (NONE WORK):

Read old posts on similar topics:
- Home Assistant keeps restarting
- HA keeps restarting since a few day - how to find the source
Switched power supply
Disabled all automations
Deleted recently updated apps
Disconnected USB connections (Zigbee2Mqtt; Z-wave)
Downloaded logs (here: myQNAPcloud)

STEPS NOT YET TAKEN (CONSIDERING DOING):

Downgrade to most recent prior Core version (since there was an update recently)
Install snapshot to a different RPi
Would like to see what’s consuming resources (i.e. RAM), but can’t figure out how to do that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Using Alexa Media Player?

Yes. I am.

@francisp Thanks a lot for the info. I downgraded Alexa Media Player to 14.13.2 and everything is stable now. I do have a followup question: How were you aware if this issue? I’m just wondering if there is a site / resource I could have checked to find the answer without posting this help request.
