My Home Assistant network problem [solved]

Hardware
1

My Home Assistant Blue came to me with a partially installed eMMC chip. After taking apart the case and fully seating the chip, I was off to the races. Three days later, the blue started having connection issues. The blue drops from my network multiple times a minute, making it completely unusable. I know supervisor isn’t crashing because the device’s terminal stays open, but I cannot ping 8.8.8.8 from the blue when the server is unreachable over the network.

I’ve tried multiple different ethernet cables, restored from snapshots, and reflashed a stable Home Assistant iso (hassos_odroid-n2-5.9.img.xz) to no prevail. What a disappointment. Sad to be moving back to my pi 3 B+ if I can’t fix the blue.

Don’t know where you from, but usually there is a warranty for faulty devices. Just file an RMA, it’s probably quicker than starting a complain here.

Thanks m0wlheld for the quick reply. Turns out I had a network issue that was causing the connection drops. mad_ady mentioned on the Odroid forums https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=41111 that duplicated IP addresses can be problematic (of course). Turns out one of my tasmotized switches nabbed my home assistant’s ip addresses and both of the devices were acting funny. After reserving a different address for the switch and flipping the breaker to reboot it, I had a functioning tasmota switch and a functioning home assistant. Glad I don’t have the same issue as gsabbe on https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?t=38365 where the 3.3v rail was faulty and they had to RMA.
