Hi guys, It’s been the hell of a week. Last week, my Home Assistant suddenly started to reboot again and again (In a loop). no changes were made (I’m not sure if some automatic installations were installed)
I’ve been trying to find the problem without luck. I would like to explain what I had installed and what I did so far, maybe you can help me or guide me through another options.
— What I had installed —
- HA OS (2023.3.5 if I not mistaken) with some addons: node red, File editor, SMB share and Motioneye with 3 cameras (foscam c2m) streaming. Also Alarmo and some irrelevant HACS integrations. Everything worked perfect for a couple of months. Suddenly the system started to reboot in a loop.
— What I did so far —
1 → I reinstalled HA and restore a backup (HA, node red, File editor, SMB and motion eye). → The system started to reboot again in a loop
2 → I restore only the HA core Backup without the addons → The system was stable, I found out the problem was the motioneye addon. Other addons and integrations were running OK at this point.
3 → I configured again the motioneye manually → System stable. The moment I activate the stream via rtsp from one of the 3 cameras → System reboot again.
(I noticed that the system took longer to reboot if I lowered the camera resolution)
4 → I supposed It was a Motioneye bug, so I installed FRIGATE addon → System was OK without cameras configured in Frigate. The moment I configured the camera stream in Frigate → System crashed again.
I Thought maybe it was a system resources error (Procesador Intel® Quad-Core J1900). Maybe after some update, the HA could not handle the streaming of the cameras anymore.
5 → I decided to install Frigate in a separate Server with Openmediavault and docker → Frigate and cameras streaming and running without a problem.
6 → I installed in HA the Frigate integration and the mosquitto broker → Frigate integration works, I can switch ON/OFF the motion detection, snapshots, etc. BUT when I open the camera stream window, the system reboots again. The same with the lovelace Frigate card: When I try tried to add the camera → System reboots again.
7 → Last thing I did was install the ONVIF integration in order to view the cameras stream. On the other hand I left the Frigate integration only for the control of the cameras. (motion off/on, etc) → Onvif integration works good BUT when I tried to view the cameras stream the system reboots again.
After a lot of hours of testing, It’s seems obvious that the problem comes when I try to view the camera streams (I tried several times with different cameras and integrations / addons and the results are the same).
I don’t know why the system crashes when access to the camera streams suddenly and out of nowhere.
I tried everything that passed my mind but I don’t know what else to do.
Anyone with the same problem or who knows the solution? I’m going crazy. Any help would be really appreciated.
thank you very much in advanced.
