Hi guys,
I am hitting issue with:
Once I start any of above after while I can see: Connection lost … reconnecting
I think this has something with resources etc. Could you please recommend me investigation steps?
The first two should have that result. Once HA is restarted the message should be replaced by a series of messages indicating it’s restarting.
That shouldn’t happen when just flashing ESP boards. However, I’ve found my RPi 3 B+ really struggles to compile and re-push the ESPHome firmware to the devices. It’s very possible you’re running out of some resource and crashing HA. That would cause the symptom you’re seeing.
I just recently disabled the ESPHome add-on, and I do my compiles from my laptop using the ESPHome command line. I can always start the ESPHome add-on if I find I need it, but to be honest I haven’t looked at it in months. The ESPHome integration works fine without the add-on running.
Thank you. I will try your way to compile on separate machine and let you know.
When I first started my HA journey years ago (read: my setup was still quite small/light, no other add-ons, etc.) and was using a 3B+, one of the first things I did was check out ESPHome. I spent forever trying to get it to compile a basic YAML file thinking I was doing something wrong, before I realized it just simply couldn’t do it without crashing. At the time I switched to using my PC for compiling (although I’ve since switched to better hardware for HA and use it now).
Thank you both. Used my laptop to flash esp32
Using docker make it all easy
docker run --rm --privileged -v "${PWD}":/config --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 -it ghcr.io/esphome/esphome run myFile.yaml
