My PE seems to reboot every 6 hours or so I think, i haven’t been able to time it exactly. I have it connected to a Motorola (fast) charger from a few years back, and it seems to work okay with it.
The problem is, it wants to reboot and as it’s connected to my computer speakers with sub for better sound, it emits a loud thump when it reboots (Standard loss of connection sound nothing the PE does).
ESPHome indicates the following which I believe is the cause, but I’m not 100% certain:

In an effort to confirm the power supply, I bought a USB tester which gives a standard output of 5.10V on average for output, and when I have it connected to the PE, I average around 4.996 to 5.024 when idle or no activity. The amperage is well below the 2A max so I don’t think it’s that, but would this be an acceptable voltage in this case?
I saw where another user had a similar issue with theirs and tracked it to their power supply, but I think this is doing okay so I’m not ready to consider it a bad one.
Edited to add that my Wifi signal is quite strong and the unit is about 1’ away from the router separated by a wall, so there is some dampening, but nothing out of the ordinary. The only disadvantage I have is I live in an Apartment building which as you may guess is overly saturated with everyone else’s Wifi networks.
