Connecting wirelessly it gives the following:

So far i have:

  • removed the device, re-added it.
  • re-flash the device with a different name
  • restarted router
  • restarted home assistant

Failure on starting WiFi is often a power issue. How are you powering this? When you say “updated”, did you change the code or do you mean you compiled under a new ESPhome version?

3

Thnx for the reply. I’m powering it with a wall adapter, 5v 2amp. I updated the code before, didnt work, after that reflashed it on a new fresh node.

4

Hmm ok. Only other thing I can suggest is to not use pins D3 and D4. Have a read of this:

5

it worked flawless before so im not sure if its just the update that changed somehow.
Thank you for thinking along though :slight_smile:

6

i tried some more stuff, when i put just the wifi credentials and delete all of the code it connects fine to the wifi. But when i put the code back in it refuses to connect.
so im not sure what is preventing it to connect in the code?

I also ran into a problem after updating to 2022.9.2 but probably with a different issue. My code that was working before the update:

And that’s the error I now have:

[22:48:07][W][mqtt:141]: Couldn't resolve IP address for ''!
[22:48:07][W][mqtt:126]: Error resolving MQTT broker IP address: -16

its good to hear it’s not only me. i’m guessing something broke in this update

Just a quick update from my side: since it is not possible to install older versions or revert to them, I tried to restore backups from previous versions. So far 2022.9.1, 2022.9.0 and 2022.8.3 now also give me the same error - although they have been working without problems before. Maybe there are some depedencies that have changed or other things influence the communication/working of the node now. As I can’t change that, I will try to find a way to use a ‘correct’ configuration so my node is working again…

Did you got a solution for your issue? I’m having the same errors since last upgrade of ESPHome. I have a bunch of ESP32 working for months flawlessly, but now I’m unable to create a new device, it is always in a boot loop.

Had a similar issue recently, had to “clean up” a bit:
